An absolute insitution in Montréal. The city needs places like this to stay alive forever. Ordered the club sandwich & it was great. Shout out Rogatien Dubois.

La meilleure poutine casse croûte de Montréal selon moi. Accompagnée d'un steamé all dressed, la qualité est toujours la. Détour obligatoire si vous voulez profiter d'une vrai expérience !

This place has the distinction of being a favorite spot for Celine Dion & many other famous Canadian & international celebrities. Here, you're in for one of the most delicious burgers & poutines of your life, all while enjoying a warm & cozy local atmosphere.

Jacqueline is always ready to welcome you with her warm smile & hospitable personality, & she always remembers your favorite order. She prepares her handmade burgers with love, offering a unique flavor that sets them apart from any other burger. The fries used for the poutine are freshly made on-site, which, in my opinion, is a big plus. The setting is local, incredibly welcoming, & her young, friendly staff are both polite & kind.
