Mange-moi is a renowned Montreal poutinerie in Mount Royal. I came here for a late night dinner and drinks with friends on Friday night and I instantly fell in love with the vibe of the place, not to mention the food. It has the typical Montreal hipster vibe, varnished wood slabs for the tables, weathered wooden wall paneling, and menus written up on giant chalkboards hung on the walls. The patio was packed with patrons, but thankfully we only had to wait a couple minutes for a table.
I ordered a classic chien-chaud (haha hot dog en Francais), only $5, and I was very impressed. It came, not in a traditional hot dog bun, but wedged inside a thick slice of French bread toasted to golden-brown perfection. As one of the cheapest items on the menu, I wasn't expecting something this good. Besides the traditional ketchup/mustard/relish trio of condiments, the hotdog was topped with fresh coleslaw, a crunchy touch that paired surprisingly well. We also ordered a couple pitchers of red wine sangria that was so fruity and divine. Cocktails are sipped from mason jars (a hipster staple) and fries are served in tiny deep fryer wire baskets (I can never resist a mini version of anything). I was able to sneak a couple bites of my friends' dishes (as you do) and the food was consistently tasty. The sweet potato fries and beautifully crisp, the poutine had the squeakiest cheese curds, hot wings with just the right amount of kick.
Overall I loved this place and would definitely recommend it for a fun lunch or dinner with friends. Don't expect to eat anything healthy, this is the place to indulge.
