La poutine était sur la coche, 100% parfaite!! Frites débiles, excellente sauce, fromage frais. Le service ce dimanche 22 février midi était GÉ-NIAL, le *nouveau* proprio est tellement sympathique & accueillant, on a envie d'être son ami. Nous reviendrons c'est certain!
Bonne poutine. Sauce salée & poivrée comme je les aimes. Définitivement il manque de fromage ce qui pourrais faire la différence entre aller là & prendre mon auto pour aller plus loin pour une expérience plus à la hauteur de mes attentes fromagé!
Over all bonne poutine c'est juste que le ratio frite/sauce/fromage marche pas.

We found this place on our way to look for a local lunch. They have amazing poutine, everyone ordered a different kind to try & were all very satisfied. The also have great burgers & smash burgers, all the ingredients taste very fresh, & their burger sauce is delicious. They make very real, natural, & tasty fries. They don't have gluten free buns or bread, but most of their poutines are gluten free if you don't mind cross contamination. All in all, great lunch, the wait time was good. Our appetizers of coleslaw & fries came after about 10 minutes, the poutine came before 20, & the burgers came around 30. This was great considering we were a large group & there were a sizeable amount of other people also in the restaurant.
Manque de fromage. C'était plus une patate sauce qu'une poutine. Très peu de sauce également. Le service est rapide mais pour 11$ la petite poutine, ça ne vaut pas le détour.
Not enough sauce, not enough cheese, way too many potato skins makes you feel like your eating leather.
There are much better choices for poutine than this place, sorry I was disappointed.
Went back again for a second time &, even if all the ingredients are there, fries cheese, presentation, quantities among other, something is missing. I was expecting the sauce & the overall dish to be more tasty & nope.

We came here on Friday December 20th in the early evening & ordered to go. The place was empty - we initially wanted to order online but noticed the menu was different, less selection, so came in person. We tried one of their smashburgers & a poutine which featured cheese curds, as well as cheddar cheese, green onions & sour cream. The food was delicious but my only complaint is the very small portion size & high price. The burger by itself is over $10 & is super thin - I understand the concept of smash burgers but was surprised it did not come with fries or a drink for that price. The poutine I chose was a "regular" size but felt like a small. The food is also packaged in these cardboard take out boxes which are not lined or waxed so unfortunately most of the sauce absorbs through the paper. There are lots of different container options such as alimunium or waxed cardboard that can be used which would be a more ideal choice especially for poutine. This is just bad planning.
Beau petit resto les tables en métal & banc de bois manque un peu de confort j'ai pris la poutine oignons bacon champignons bonne pas assez de sauce & manque de goût j'ai aussi goûté a leurs petits Pogo moi j'ai pas aimé cela vaut la peine a essayé cela dépend des goût
Les poutines sont exceptionnelles : de bonnes frites maisons, des sauces maisons & les quantités sont généreuses (je suis un bon mangeur & une régulière m'a rempli). Très bon service, bonne variété (très grande, on s'est demandé quoi prendre pendant 3 minutes). Je recommande fortement si vous êtes amateur de poutine en tout genre.

Cher en titi pour une poutine dont la sauce est fade & la saucisse plus qu'ordinaire.. Est ce normal de payer le tip (%) après le calcul des taxes (paiement Interac) ? 54$ pour une grosse & une petite, c'est pas donné!
Première expérience. On était 2 & on a essayé la classique. Très bonne poutine! Les pâtes maison étaient super, la sauce excellente avec un petit goût épicé ( très cool)! Le fromage était très correct!! Ambiance cool & décontractée!!! On va revenir pour explorer.
I had poutine with smoked meat & I really enjoyed it! Crispy fries, tasty sauce, a few slices of pickle - everything made for a perfect Montreal poutine. Will definitely go back.
Très bonnes poutines! Patates fraîches & sauce maison. Ambiance relaxe & agréable avec les hauts plafonds. Bonnes petites bières de microbrasseries. Plein de vraies plantes. À essayer si vous passez dans le coin
Many options to choose from but of course I had to get the classic. I wasn't impressed, I thought the sauce was bland & the fries were overcooked/mushy. Better than anything you can get out of province, but that's a low bar. The portion was big, but it was also just over 20$ after tax, which I find is way too much for a poutine, let alone a mediocre one.
Ambiance agréable, mobilier créatif. Sauce brune & ingrédients ok. Mais le prix vs portion la générosité n'est pas de mise. C'est des patates tout de même.
