One of the best old-school greasy spoons in the city, everything is delicious, & the staff is always friendly. This place has to be one of the few left that still sells spruce beer!

Très bonne poutine, frites excellente, très bonne sauce, bon fromage mais pourrait y en avoir plus. Une institution à visiter absolument! Mais surtout, accompagné votre repas d'une excellente bière d'épinette!
