Clairement déçu Les frites étaient clairement réchauffée & pas fraîche Or c'est clairement ce qui fait tout dans une poutine Sauce ok & poulet pop Corn passable Vraiment dommage car de base j'adore les poutine de poutine ville (je n'avais jamais mangé dans celui là) J'ai commandé une grande poutine poulet double fromage en grain Attention si vous commandez
We were in the mood for poutine & happened upon this spot. The serving sizes were generous, & the waitress was very friendly. We were pleasantly surprised to find board games available for us to play! It's an ideal spot for socializing with friends, whether enjoying a game while waiting for your food or having fun while dining. We definitely plan on returning to finish our game!
La classique poutine québécoise était un délice - des frites parfaitement cuites, des fromages en grains qui crissent, & une sauce savoureuse. La recommandation de cocktail de Salma était tout aussi impressionnante, me poussant à en commander un autre. Cependant, il était difficile de ne pas ressentir une pointe de sympathie alors que Salma gérait toute la soirée seule, jonglant avec tout avec grâce. Bravo à Salma pour avoir rendu notre visite extraordinaire même au milieu d'une soirée animée !
Single server & chef tried their best but the restaurant was severely understaffed. Two of our orders were wrong & food wasn't the best. Good atmosphere with board games available. A bit overpriced for the quality.
Food was really great. I feel bad for the server because she was all by herself & the food took a long time to order, prepare, & clean up. Not complaining, just an observation some patrons would be far more critical of. Otherwise, the food was great.
Poutineville, un momument de la gastronomie poutinienne (oui ça ne se dit pas & alors) à Montréal. Un grand choix de poutine du monde si le monde était composé de 15 pays & que le Québec était indépendant. Vive le Québec independant ! Un peu de 20$ pour une poutine québécoise avec une bière de la brasserie belle gueule offerte. Accueil & service agréable. Si quelqu'un mange la poutine à 100$ appelez moi je veux voir la bête.
Très bonne poutine ! Les meilleures, je ne sais pas chacun aura son adresse préférée mais l'enseigne est à tester. Petite promo pas piquée des hannetons qui nous permet d'avoir une bière gratuite ! La serveuse était très sympathique
Food is extremely filling even with the regular size dish. Make sure to come on an empty stomach, or you will regret it. Other than that, the food is really good & has the perfect temperature, they offer board games for you to play, & the staff is friendly. The food takes an average time to get ready. The place takes a semi retro look, but there's no distinct smell or warmth to the place.
So coming from New England in the states, & as a family who loves a good poutine, we were very excited about our first poutine in Canada. We were pretty disappointed, however. The poutine was very mediocre. We tried the Traditional + bacon, & a General Tao, to try something different. It may have just been a bad choice because the bacon tasted funny, like microwaved leftover pork tastes. We didn't finish ours. The general Tao Was also just whatever. The curds were lacking a bit on flavor, like bland mozz. The gravy was decent, & the fries seemed decent as well, & those 2 are the primary ingredients. But certainly couldn't give this 4 stars even. Probably the funky tasting bacon that left the worst impression. We've been spoiled by places in the states that make excellent poutine. Such as the one at The Fix in Worcester Mass, which has a gravy that is infused with rosemary & black pepper, & Maplebrook Farm cheddar curds. My kids literally fight each other as they race through that one. Will try one more poutine somewhere in Montréal before we leave & hope for a better experience. The waitress was pleasant, & the vibe was very casual.
I came here one night on live comedy night. When I came in I was invited to join the table of comedians playing an improv game. It was welcoming as they are also an English friendly bar like Grumpy's (live music) just a couple doors down. Yes they have Xbox. I've heard that their food was VERY good. My friend recommends getting the hand mashed potatoes for one of the various options available for your choose-your-own style poutine. Next time I'm in Montreal I will for sure return & try some of their poutine on another comedy night!
