Ma poutine à emporter était excellente & son prix très abordable, servi rapidement par une personne souriante & très attentionnée. Ma seule déception c'est de ne pas avoir découvert ce restaurant plus tôt!

Ordered a veggie burger. No exaggeration, best veggie burger I have ever had in my life. The bun was amazing. Woman that served my friend & I was an absolute gem.
Not much seating but super cute wall of art.
Definitely worth the stop!

Great quality & care for the food they prepare. The cook explained us in detail how much effort they put into making almost all of the ingredients by hand.
Worth the visit.

The burgers were absolutely delicious! The service was exceptional, & the portions were very generous, making the price well worth it.

The last time I came here was 18 years ago, & coming back today brought back so many wonderful memories. Thank you for the outstanding service you gave us today. We'll definitely be back very soon!

We came in & were immediately welcomed by the loveliest woman there. This was my first time experiencing a poutine so she very kindly gave me recommendations (listen to her she has good taste)! She also explained to us the story behind the paintings board, & my friends & I got to leave a little memory on it too! Amazing experience, 100% recommend!!!

Picks is one of those hidden gems in Montreal. Their burgers & tacos have a special touch to them. They use high-quality ingredients the right way. Their food is simply delicious. One of my favourites items on their menu is the delicious shrimp taco!

Tasted like a homemade/BBQ burger. I will definitely be back, either for the burger or poutine (or both :)) Also the staff was so sweet. If you're in the area & need a tasty burger that isn't crazy expensive, this is the spot.

NOT PICKS.

New people took over & they are doing things differently
you can tell the change is obvious & now the place is mediocre

Fell off massively.

This used to be my favorite burger place possibly of all time & now i wouldnt even go there if im starving

breaks my heart

-Patty tastes like it seasoned completely differently
-Honey mustard is tasteless (used to be one of their best sauces)
-Stuff like tomatoes & lettuce used to be very fresh. The change in quality too big to get over it

You can do whatever you want. This is your restaurant.
But instead of getting upset when someone points this out, you should actually fix the ingredients & match the quality if you want to truly claim you that'have deep respect for the legacy of Picks.'

THIS IS NOT PICKS.
