Decent classic style of poutine, made just how it should be with lots of gravy & cheese curds. Ordered their steamed hot dogs which were just okay. Good place to get quick poutine if you have a craving.

Love the old school vibes in here. My friend said she had to take me here to try a steamed dog. It was a nice snack to have while we walked the streets looking around. I enjoyed the dog! Good flavour. The staff was friendly.

The poutine was awesome & so were the delish hot dogs. It's a landmark that's been there for close to if not over 100 years, so it's clear that the food has stood the test of time. If you reminisce about the Old Montréal taste of poutine & steamed hotdogs, then that's the place to be.

If you like italian poutine...this is the spot, their meat sauce is just perfect. Not a fan of the cash only policy though...but great fries, generous portion of cheese. If you need a late night dirty snack, its going to delive

The poutine was delectable, gravy & cheesy sauce over fresh, thick cuts of just-fried fries. Patient staff, well-managed (especially to the clueless tourists in front of me). Poutines & fries come in small & large sizes: shareable. Popular with locals & us foreigners. Burgers & hot dogs a staple too. Fun, casual, bus your own tray. Nice spot on the epic Saint Laurent Avenue.

Having a steamie in Montreal was on my checklist & this place made it happen! Went around 12am & it was a humble place & the steamie was exactly how I imagined, yummmy! We also had the chicken sandwich that was really good too!
