I've been here a couple of times. I have mixed feelings about l'gros.
Pros:
Prices - the food is cheap. If you're on a budget, you can actually get multiple food items. Usually things range between 5-12 MAX. So this is definitely a pro.
Interior - every l'gros restaurant gets a 10/10 on their design. They're all absolutely beautiful! The only thing I don't like is how dark it is inside. I guess it sets the atmosphere but I'm a foodie so I can never take a decent food picture unless I come at brunch.
Cons:
Food: I don't find anything special about their food to be honest. I think the only thing I recommend is their Poutine since it's unique (it's made with tater tots instead of your regular fries). I usually add the pulled pork on it to top it off. But other than that i don't usually crave to go back to l'gros. There isn't one food item that makes me wake up the next day NEEDING to go back. Don't get me wrong, the food isn't bad, it's just meh! Their pizza is decent. But why not just go to Parvis to have a better selection for the same price? Their tacos are OK... But again.. Why not go to T&T Taco? Even the burger is meh, nothing special. I'd rather go to Art Burger and for the same price get a gourmet burger that I'll crave the next day. Again, the prices are super cheap but almost every item on their menu is mediocre (minus the poutine) and you can find them at other restaurants with better quality.
And almost all their food requires you to add either chicken or pork to it to make it taste good which isn't something that I want to consistently do every time I want to order something. I rather have my food taste amazing the way it is without me having to basically build it myself.
I guess if you're going on a Friday night with some friends for some drinks and food, it's a good spot but don't expect anything special!
