Une cuisine réconfortante dans un cadre simple & chaleureux 🙌🏾

Fraîchement arrivé à Québec, j'étais à la recherche d'une adresse pour manger ma première vraie Poutine sur le sol canadien, nous avons trouvé ce restaurant un peu par hasard.

Nous avons été superbement accueilli par les employés, les menus sont simples & bien expliqués & la cuisine est ouverte.

J'ai commandé une poutine Sylton en grand format & une poutine Poutinium moyenne en moyen format avec en side des jalapenos farcis.

La générosité Québécoise était au rendez-vous & nos poutines étaient bien chargées mais surtout très délicieuses ! Les jalapenos étaient bon mais à faire refroidir avant de manger haha !

Un autre point positif est que le lieu malgré sa petite taille était très propre & j'ai pu constaté pendant que je mangeais que les surfaces de travail ainsi que les tables étaient régulièrement nettoyés.

Je recommande l'adresse & je vous conseille de tester la poutine avec une petite ou moyenne size pour commencer.

Amateurs & Amatrices de viandes, la poutine Sylton est votre amie 😁.

Je reviendrai quand je serais de nouveau à Québec & merci pour l'accueil, on se sent bien chez vous & on se régale !

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.
