I liked the ambience of this spot; just a small shop where you can watch them make the poutine in front of you. Poutine is a simple dish & this is the type of atmosphere I prefer, rather than some pub/restaurant. I stumbled upon this spot due to the overwhelming recommendations online (i.e. Reddit). Now is it the best poutine I've had? Maybe, or maybe not, I can't even remember all the ones I've tried. But it was very good & authentic tasting. I have tried very similar tasting ones in Gatineau, Montreal, & Ottawa. With that said, I would recommend if you're in the area but poutine is a simple dish & I'm sure any other authentic spot will be just as good.

De loin la meilleure poutine que j'ai eu l'occasion de manger. La sauce est incroyable. Valérie la cuisinière connait son affaire. Avec cheeseburger tout aussi impressionnant. Tout le meilleur! Merci encore!

The kind of whole in the wall place I love to find. Great poutine & awesome to watch them cook it right in front of you. Also have very reasonably priced hot dogs.

Excellent service, j'ai adoré que le cuisinier me questionne sur mes préférences afin d'adapter la poutine à mon goût. Moins dispendieux que la moyenne des restos. Le décor ne vaut pas le détour, mais une belle découverte.
