Tabac Villeray functions as a quintessential local hub that highlights the robust traditions of Quebecois comfort food. The menu centers on expertly prepared poutine, featuring thick-cut fries smothered in authentic squeaky cheese curds and a rich, savory gravy. Beyond the classic fries, the kitchen offers an array of handcrafted sandwiches built on crusty, fresh bread and filled with high-quality deli meats or vegetarian ingredients. An extensive selection of caffeinated beverages complements the food offerings, providing a quick energy boost for patrons on the move. The interior layout prioritizes efficiency and a utilitarian aesthetic, mirroring the functional nature of a traditional newsstand-style café. This establishment serves as a reliable destination for those seeking straightforward, flavorful meals prepared with consistent attention to essential culinary components and texture.

Tabac Villeray is widely regarded as a charming and versatile neighborhood destination known for its inviting vintage decor, relaxed atmosphere, and excellent drink selections, including creative cocktails and mocktails.

It's your typical French corner restaurant/coffee shop/bar. Food was high quality & prices are reasonable.

J'aime beaucoup la place & c'est probablement un des seuls établissements dans un désert de service de ce genre à l'est de Christophe Colomb.
Ceci étant dit je trouve que la proposition de service est un peu confuse. Sous une présentation, une offre de nourriture & même horaire d'un bar/café de proximité, les prix &/ou les portions sont ceux d'un resto'de destination' sans forcément avoir la qualité'de destination'. Par exemple le prix de la bière & le format sont les mêmes que le Mellon qui fait sa propre bière, mais avec de la bière des brasseurs RJ & le vin est le même prix au verre que le vinvinvin sans offrir le même choix & le même service'bar à vin'.
Leurs frites sont vraiment bonnes, j'aimerais y passer plus de temps, mais pour moi cette confusion est un problème qui donne une drôle de saveur à chaque visite.

Littéralement meilleure buvette urbaine ! Le barman Dominique est juste Incroyable. Les serveurs sont adorables, les plats recherchés le tout étant très abordable !

Un sympathique bar (café) de quartier, dans un coin qui manquait d'un établissement du genre.
