What to Order
Poutine
The star of the show, this poutine features fresh, crispy fries, abundant squeaky cheese curds, and a rich, flavorful gravy.
"If you want an authentic poutine, this is the place. If you're not French Canadian then this place also gives you a cultural experience in the best of ways."
Anthony Pauk
Italian Poutine
A twist on the classic, this poutine comes with a very good sauce, though some prefer it hotter.
"As a first experience, I tried the Italian poutine. The sauce itself was very good; maybe just not hot enough for me."
Stéphane Lavallée
Poutine with Montreal Smoked Meat
A highly recommended variation of their classic poutine, featuring a deep brown, flavorful gravy and extra squeaky cheese curds, elevated by Montreal-style smoked meat.
"The gravy was a deep brown and extremely flavourful, and the cheese curds were extra squeaky. The shopkeeper suggested that I try it with Montreal style smoked meat and I'm a Schwartz's/Reuben's fiend so I agreed to that almost too quickly."
Arin Goswami
Hamburgers
While primarily a poutine spot, their hamburgers are noted for being tasty and a good option if you're looking for something beyond poutine.
"We also tried the burger, it was not bad (granted this is a poutine place)."
