Really damn good poutine would highly recommend the Gaston poutine. I had a hard time walking up the hill to chateau Laurier after eating the large poutine. The food coma is stronger than melatonin.

A small hidden gem in Quebec City. The place is very small with only 2 tables & a small bar. Two young gents behind the counter take your order, prepare the food, & hand it over to you.

I tried the hot chicken. It was not what I expected, but it was a great dish, not as spicy as I was expecting & not fried.

The burgers were great & very reasonably priced. The poutine is a must-try.

Highly recommend if you're in the area for a quick bite.

After days of travelling in Montreal & Quebec, we decided we had to try the famous Routine. We chose the classic small for 2 people. We couldn't be more delighted. The potatoes are the best we tasted this holiday, & the gravy & cheese were fabulous too.
I like the atmosphere of a small'chip shop' in Ireland, but it's better in basically every way.
Highly recommended. I would eat here every day if my doctor would allow it 😅

Extrêmement déçue de notre expérience. Nous avons attendus 40 minutes, alors qu'il y avait peu d'achalandage. Au moment où nous avons reçu notre commande, nous avons eu droit à une poutine peu remplie. Peu de frites, peu de sauce, peu de fromage. De plus, la poutine était tiède. Je ne recommande pas. Je vous conseille d'aller n'importe où sauf dans ce casse-croûte. Je ne suis pas chialeuse normalement, mais je me devais de partager cette triste expérience.
