Reviews portray Paulo et Suzanne as a nostalgic Montreal diner known for huge portions, especially poutine and burgers, with many praising the poutine as among the best in town and the burgers as hearty and flavorful. The vibe is cozy and old school with retro decor and friendly service, though a few note cash only payments and limited seating can be a hassle. The menu offers a wide range of poutines and other comfort foods that invite sharing and late night dining, and several visitors highlight value and generous portions while a minority report ups and downs in recent orders such as cheese portions, fry quality, or packaging for delivery. Overall the consensus is that the restaurant delivers classic satisfying comfort food and remains a beloved neighborhood staple with a sense of nostalgia and a loyal crowd returning for food and experience.
We ordered takeout. We ordered La Philly Bomb poutine & a regular poutine & the Grilled Cheese Diablo. The grilled cheese was pretty good. However, the star was definitely the poutine. Both poutines that we ordered were excellent. The gravy was just right. Some gravies from different establishments are too salty, but this gravy hit the spot. We would definitely come back again.
This place has been my go-to spot every time I'm in town for years. The burgers are absolutely incredible, the poutines are always loaded & delicious, & their grilled cheese sandwiches hit the spot every single time. Been going there since the late 90's but It's actually tied to one of the biggest memories of my life; back in 2009, when my wife's water broke with our second son, we stopped here at midnight for a quick burger before rushing across the street to the hospital for the birth. That memory alone makes this place special to me, but the consistently amazing food is what keeps me coming back. I no longer live in Montreal but when I'm in town it's always a must. Reason it's not 5 stars is because it's a cash only restaurant. No debit & no credit which is super duper inconvenient & annoying. They do have an ATM but no one wants to put their debit card in a shady ATM machine nowadays. We're in 2026 guys! Get with the times.
I've been a customer here for decades & i can confirm this place is not like it used to be! Everytime i order a poutine its never the same as everyday, sometimes burned fries, sometimes not enough sauce, sometimes too much. Today i just ordered a regular poutine & they gave me a'soup poutine' to much sauce. Also i called for it to be ready but they still made me wait without preparing it.
Aside from good food, unfortunately not much being done when it comes to reducing waste & recycling. Poutine is packaged in double plastic covers & plastic utensils. No recycling bins on site for those eating on the patio. Straws are still plastic!

?Underwhelming poutine & poor efficiency. It shouldn't take 40 minutes for a takeout order. Disappointing that'extra cheese' means a cold cup of curds on the side rather than actually being added to the dish.

Pire expérience de fast food vécue ! Premièrement le 7up en fontaine goute le moisi 👉 défaut de nettoyage …. La poutine super bonne la .. mais on a du attendre 45 minutes pour 2 poutines ,1 hot dog & 1 hamburger… il y avait une dizaine de personnes en attente comme moi ! Ya comme un petit problème d'organisation ! Jai jamais attendu aussi longtemps de ma vie dans une pataterie…. La madame a la fenetre dehors appelle les numéros de commande.. jetais le 12 & elle appelait le 20.. le 18 oups le 22 .. & la je lui demande pourquoi je suis le 12 & que je ne suis pas appelé encore depuis +de 30 mins & la elle ma complètement laisser sécher dehors en me fesant à croire que ma commande sen venait 😂 woow pire service ever … 45 minutes pour des frites hotdog burger 🤨 une chance que javais du fun avec les autres clients qui étaient coincé comme moi ! Meme au final ils se sont levés & on étés remboursés & ont laissé leur boissons dehors … ouin j'aurais fais pareil mais je mourrais de faim 😅
I ate beef & chicken fajita poutine for the first time. The amount of pain was small. It wasn't too painful. The portion amount was ideal. The sauce & potatoes were good. It was delicious & I liked it. I recommend them
Déçue des 2 dernières commandes alors que c'était notre resto de poutine hamburger préféré pendant tellement longtemps. Rendu mauvais, trop cuit, manque de sauce, manque clairement d'amour, mauvais rapport qualité-prix. Changement de propriétaire ou de gestionnaire très probable. Perdu notre clientèle pour de bon, dommage.
Very good classic poutine & steamy Hotdogs. A classic quebec staple. The sauce was tasty, the fries where excellent & of course the squeaky cheese. I will definitely go back & try the specialty poutines. Don't forget to bring cash as they only except cash.
Junk food, cash only cantine, the good news is its open 24h for after party people , but not recommended before party unless you have a bottle of perfume in your car .
Nous avons été servi par la soeur de la propriétaire & wowwww que belle expérience, nous sommes partis de St-Hyacinthe pour aller vivre l'expérience & entièrement satisfait, déjà hâte à notre prochaine visite car évidement, il y aura une prochaine fois
