Clearly marked vegan options! I loved their borscht (ask to make vegan), it's more of a cream soup than a typical chunky borscht. However, the flavour was amazing! Super comforting on a rainy evening.
Their vegan poutine comes with tofu instead of cheese. I found tofu unnecessary, but my partner actually really liked it. The gravy is very tasty though!
Staff were super nice & helped me navigate the menu. Limited seating at this location but if you can snag a spot, it's a lovely small space with beautiful windows.
Malgré l'affluence, super accueil & service rapide. Étant seul, j'ai pu trouver une place sans difficulté pour m'installer. Poutine bien fournie avec frites craquantes. Je reviendrai tester d'autres produits de la carte avec plaisir (belle carte avec large choix).

It used to be my favourite place for a burger & poutine but they seem to have change their recipe. The hamburger was larger, but less flavourful & the poutine sauce was watery. I don't know if this is to cut costs, but I am sad to see a change in the quality of the ingredients.

Tried the classic poutine as this is one of the best places to get it. Loved the decor in the place which gives it real character.
As for the poutine, it s basically chips & gravy with cheese curds. Definately food after a few beers rather than a romantic table for two. I think there is no way you can get this wrong. There are other things on the menu but i d already eaten at schwatze s.
Overall defo give it a go.....

One of a hidden spot to get some real good poutine. Food came quickly & everything was made fresh. Staff were very friendly.
It was one of the best poutine I've ever tried.
Will highly recommend :)
Tried authentic poutine here, it's was good! Mozzarella was squeaky so you KNOW it was high quality. Sat in the window seat & had a nice view of the bustling downtown. Def recommend for some of that poutineeeee.
The lady & gentleman working were so sweet & accommodating. We wanted to try this place out but were hesitant since it's not super big/toddler friendly. But it wasn't busy & our toddler was able to sit well & look out the window! The cheeseburger & poutine were delicious. Definitely will return :)

2025: i loved that they have this plate with both poutine & salad, both were delicious & together it was just perfect, generous portions & fresh ingredients. service was friendly & quick.
Un lieu merveilleux qui malgré son mince espace est très convivial & où l'ambiance est forte agréable.
La poutine classique est excellente, les frites sont maisons & les portions sont généreuses ! Mention spéciale au thé glacé maison qui est divin (ps: j'aimerai bien la recette haha) !!!
Merci aux deux serveurs qui étaient vraiment géniaux :)
Un super moment ✨?
