C'était bon! J'ai pris une petite potine Sylvie & la portion est plus que suffisante. C'est petit, mais on se fait une place. Les gars ont vraiment l'air d'apprécier leur travail. & on comprends pourquoi quand on voit le propriétaire. J'ai pu entendre une conversation entre le boss & ses employés & je peux dire qu'il a l'air de bien prendre soins d'eux. Bravo!

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.
