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!

Les burgers sont excellents, la musique était bonne, le prix est raisonnable. C'est sûr que j'y retourne. J'aime beaucoup plus celui-là que celui sur Hamel. C'est sûr j'aurais aimé qu'il y ait plus de place assise mais c'est problament pour ça que les prix sont bons.

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!
