A small, cozy restaurant with a nostalgic vibe. The burger was really good & tasty, & I loved that it was grilled right in front of me with fresh ingredients. The goat cheese on top gave it a unique & delicious flavor. Another thing I appreciated, there was no bad smell of burned oil or food at all. Overall, a great experience, & I'll definitely come back to try other items on the menu. Highly recommended.

I was in Quebec a couple weeks ago & was looking for some food after going to a concert & came across this place.

The poutine from here is top tier & i would recommend coming it!

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 !

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.

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.

Hot dogs are delicious, I took their Michigan & regular hot dog , both are amazing , the chef is taking his time to cook food & delivering it quickly, people here are very kind & helpful, I can't speak French ..they explained everything clearly in English. I would definitely recommend this place.
