best food you can have in Montreal. hands down.
had a veggie burger & french onion soup, was literally the best meal I'd had at any restaurant.
There was only one staff on the floor & was still served quite quickyly, server was very knowledgeable & had great suggestions! A must go if you're in the area
The food is really good but I still haven't come to terms with 30$ burgers. I know it's just how things are now but I don't know, I'm not sure any burger is try worth 30$ without a drink.
The athmosphere is nice, typical pub athmosphere. The staff is really helpful & nice though, they make the experience really worth it.
Overall definitely worth checking out. They have a 17$ foie gras sauce poutine, I'd say that's a deal in 2025!
My fav spot in Montreal ! Le burger est incroyable, le dessert au chocolat juste parfait. Ambiance cosy, vibes au top, & service irréprochable ( big up à O'Neill 🙌). À tester absolument !
We stopped in here for a poutine fix. The place was packed! Our server was very friendly, though a bit rushed due to the crowd. We ordered the duck poutine & the bison burger. The duck poutine was unique & tasty, though the fries & gravy could have been better. The bison burger was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. Overall, a solid spot, but not mind-blowing.

If you're looking for a small but nice place to enjoy good food & drinks, served by a very welcoming staff eager to make your experience a blast, look no further!
I went with friends on late afternoon up to the evening (6 hours) & the music (80-90s?) Never too loud so you can talk normally, a big plus for me!
*crowded between 5-8pm (but not loud), don't hesitate to reserve a seat!
I took a medium bavette, it was spot-on! Bison Burger if you want to feel fuller.
good ambience & good food. the prices were okay, the poutine very traditional, the bison burger had very intense flavors but a meat lover would love this burger & the ratatouille was amazing. they have guiness on tap!
We came on halloween night. I was worried it was too loud but when we sat down we could still hear each other fine. The staff were friendly despite how clearly busy it was, & always timely to attend to my table. The cider was great. I had a bloody romeo, their take on a caesar, & as a fan of caesars, it was so smooth & delicious, while a little on the sweet side. My dining partner who dislikes clamato or tomato juice tried some & loved it too! The french onion soup was as good as the other reviews say, & I decided to try the vegetable burger with sundried tomatoes, & it's honestly probably the best burger I've ever had. We'll 100% be returning. Everything was fantastic, thank you so much! Also, all the staff were dressed up for halloween as shaggy behind the bar, & velma, fred, & daphne serving. It was really cute that they'd coordinated like that!
Burger à éviter, la viande est trop cuite & sèche, plutôt décevant pour un prix exagéré. Service ok, ce serait plus délicat de ne pas regarder par dessus l'épaule pendant le paiement c'est vraiment désagréable (1 bière, une entrée partagée & un burger partagé)

We were greeted & promptly sat down with a dual menu. Delightful. My travel buddy & I had wine & I had a burger while she had a steak & both were delightful. Its lovely to sit next to the old garage door & watch the world walk by. Recommend the atmosphere as the music was not too loud & employees were friendly. Food did not take long to come out. Would go back again.
The food was terrific, we had the elk burger, French onion soup, & salmon tartare. Service was excellent, & it was a really chill atmosphere. I would highly recommend & will definitely return!
Got a nice little late night dinner here after seeing a show in griffintown, generally excellent my burger was a tad charred but on the whole I would say first rate & my wife loved what she ordered.
We had a great evening with my friend! Super cozy place, the food is excellent (their chicken burger is soooo tasty) & the waiter was very friendly! They have some very smooth tequila, too! Really recommend 👌 👏
Comment tu peut avoir 4.4 sur Google quand tu sers des Burgers de cette qualité 😅 viande ultra cuite & sèche...frites (j'ai pas les mots) ... le seul point positif c'est la Bière la mienne très bonne par contre niveau cocktails zero ....caipirinia tellement diluée 🤣 2 étoiles mais c'est pour la bière....
