| - Got introduced to this place by my friends in Montreal that live right around the corner. The only 24-hour place I knew of before this was La Banquiste, which is THE poutinerie to go to. So, this place had to measure up.
I'd say for a quick fix, this place hits the spot. I had the meat lovers poutine and it was delicious and just what I needed after a 6 hour drive and 6 beers. The ambiance is quiet and small, but the hipster presence was overwhelming and I just was very uncomfortable for some reason. When every guy and girl is wearing a bowler hat and skinny jeans and look like they just got out of the hot tub time machine...something is wrong. My friend informed me that Montreal had turned into the Hipster Hub of North America, and I did not doubt that after my night there.
Anyway, the man behind the cash register was very pleasant to deal with and made the experience more comfortable and enjoyable and we joked around with him. The poutine was pretty good, and I definitely would try it again when I am more sober, but for a 24-hour spot on a party street, it definitely hits the spot, especially since they take credit cards, and La Banquiste only accepts cash - making driving the 5 minutes there much more dreadful.
