We came here solely off Matthew P and Rho's reviews. Being from the US specifically the South, there is nothing we know better than hole in the wall burger joints. I am always up to the challenge of testing these out.
Diallo's was great, this was our last meal in Montreal and not only was it the most memorable, it also came out the cheapest. My wife and I both ate burgers, poutine, and black cherry sodas and together it was under 20CA.
The burger was big and tasty and we finally got to eat poutine for the first time and really enjoyed it. How can you go wrong with cheese and gravy on french fries?
The friends we visited are there on work visas, and they have added it to one of their new local spots to frequent. There was also a table of just 4 neighborhood kids around 10 years old that had each ordered a side of poutine. I think that is a testament to the local trustworthiness and value of this place.
