Reviews for Smile Chez Clara highlight a mix of experiences, with some patrons praising the flavorful and well-marinated chicken while others find the portions inconsistent. While some visitors appreciate the sandwiches and salads, the poutine receives significant criticism for being excessively salty and lacking quality cheese.

Nous avons adoré ce restaurant, une belle ambiance & les personnes qui y travaillent sont très sympathiques, dévouées pour nous donner le meilleur service.

Le plus important dans tout cela est bien sûr la nourriture alors la que dire de plus que ouaaaaaa que c'est bon & en plus les prix sont très abordables.

Le mieux est de l’essayer & vous ne seriez pas déçu, tout comme moi.

Pour ma part, j y retourne le week-end prochain, pour m’ y régaler de nouveau.
