Reviews portray Paulo et Suzanne as a cash‑only, old‑school Montreal diner famous for gigantic portions, comforting poutines, and a retro vibe that suits late nights, with many calling it one of the best poutine spots in the city thanks to rich gravy, crispy fries and generous cheese curds alongside solid burgers. While the overall sentiment is positive, several comments describe inconsistencies such as poutines with too little cheese even when extra cheese is paid for, occasional missing toppings, and order mixups, as well as frustrations with the cash‑only policy and the pickup system. The atmosphere is repeatedly praised as cozy and nostalgic, service is described as friendly and efficient when not rushed, and value and comfort food appeal keep customers returning, even as some visits report a dip in quality or more pressure on staff.
Don't let anyone fool you, THIS place serves THE BEST poutine in town & from a far. Delicious, fresh cheese, tasty gravy, I especially like the coq poutine which is served with onions & chicken. The dining room is a bit small but beautifully decorated with amazing paintings of James Dean, the Beatles, & many other artists is a very 80's style with leather seats. The staff is very nice & efficient & still smiles at you even when you come around midnight with a large group!
This place is my "day one" in St.Laurent. I have had everything on the menu. Its all good. Classic diner comfort food. Its a little cramped inside. But their patio is key in the summer. It's also open late, perfect for a bite after a night out.

C'est la première fois que j'essaie ce diner, service très rapide, & bel accueil, il y a une petite terrasse pour manger sur place, la poutine est vraiment délicieuse , seul bémol c'est cash only, il faut prévoir de l'argent comptant sur soi. Je reviendrai pour essayer les burgers.
Went there on a wednesday night after a long workday to get a poutine & a hot dog. The hot dog was ok, but there was almost no sauce in my poutine. I arrived home & wondered of they had put sauce in it because it was so dry. Very disapointed since it was almost 20$ for a regular small poutine & a hot dog.
La poutine est assez ordinaire. Pas assez de fromage, pas assez de sauce & elle est fade. Pourtant, j'ai entendu d'excellents commentaires sur leur poutine..

C'était tellement excellent. On en a mangé des poutines, mais celles-là viennent de battre tous les autres endroits. Si vous voulez avoir un bon temps avec un service efficace & jovial, allez ici 100%!
Le colosse was a messy pile of toppings that didn't work well together despite being a popular menu item. The Piri Piri Burger was better but not as well done as elsewhere. The hot dog was what was expected.
