What a great introduction to the city! My fiancee and I stopped in here for some poutine, based on a couple of recommendations from chowhound and were really taken with the place.
The waitstaff were really courteous and patient with our lack of french. Food came quickly.
I had a full order of poutine and my fiancee had Poutine et Salade. The poutines were awesome, crisp clean real potato fries, a light gravy and good curds. My only complaint was that there wasn't enough gravy to melt most of the curds, otherwise it was the best poutine I had in the city. The salad was very nicely composed and all the ingredients were fresh. I paired the poutine with a Vieux Montreal Blonde, which was passable as a Blonde Ale, but seemed like the right aesthetic fit for the restaurant. Other diners were eating these adorable tiny burgers, which seemed like an excellent late night snack.
Definitely a unique and welcoming representation of the city, especially late at night. Highly recommended.
