This place was recommended by a local & it did not disappoint. The potatoes were a bit sweet (I noticed Quebec fries are usually like this) which isn't a bad thing.

Cheese was squeaky although I wish it was more melted & hot.

C'etait ma premiere fois dans ce restaurant & j'ai vraiment aimer mon experience! Les deux travailleurs ont faite sur que j'étais a l'aise & bien servit. La nourriture est frais faite (on peut meme dire qu'elle est faite devant toi!) & l'atmosphere est "friendly". Non plus de fermer tard, ils sont vraiment vite pour te servir. Merci beaucoup guys!

I came to Quebec City with some friends for the ComicCon of 2024. Our Airbnb place was RIGHT beside Chez Gaston. We all love their poutine. They are soooo good. 5 stars all around.

Probably a go to if it's late at night & you need to have some food. Portions are generous & poutine is good. Don't expect any servous, as most of the people come for take-away. Staff are not overly friendly but not rude either. I don't know if this place deserves the rating it has, but I'm also not a poutine specialist. I'd say that if it's late & you're craving some local fast-food, you could go there. Value is fair.

Super friendly staff, the Sylton was so good! Not too salty, & the potatoes were fresh I believe. What a gem. A medium is enough for two.

Excellent poutine. Got the "sylton poutine" which is pretty much everything you can put in it. Very fast & efficient service. Couple were friendly & chatting with customers.

Title: A Gem of Quebec’s Culinary Scene

Poutinerie Chez Gaston delivers a transcendent experience, where each bite of their iconic poutine unveils the soul of Quebec. The squeaky cheese curds, fresh & vibrant, meet the embrace of perfectly salted gravy, creating a dance of flavors as mesmerizing as a symphony. Every element, from the crispy, golden fries to the impeccable balance of salt & savor, sings a harmonious ode to the city’s rich culinary heritage. Chez Gaston is not just a dining destination but a journey into the heart of Quebec, where tradition, flavor, & artistry unite in an unforgettable narrative of taste.

TLDR: tight, tight, tight. (So good)
