Les burgers sont excellents & d'une grosseur normale. Les frites étaient bonnes & les sodas maisons sont bien (personnellement je mettrais plus de sucre). La poutine classique n'était pas une poutine : des patates grelots avec de la genre de sauce au vin & du fromage en grain. Étrange, pas tellement bon.
Puisqu'on a mangé à côté de la cuisine ouverte, l'ambiance était bruyante & on est ressorti en sentant la friture à plein nez.
Je recommande surtout pour les burgers, mais essayez de vous asseoir dans le palier du haut, plus loin de la cuisine.

Deuxièmement visite : Burgers toujours décadents! Limonade délicieuse. Les tables sur le bord des fenêtres, donnant directement sur la rue, offre la meilleure vue sur la rue, les passants & même un bout du Château.

Atmosphere is fun & worth it. I had the poutine with bacon & a maple sauce. It was very delicious! Others had the burgers, a little small but they seemed to enjoy them. The milkshakes were thick & very good.

It was good but the sauce was a little too thin, which made the potatoes soft not crispy & not enough cheese

Nice spot for good food near to the Chateau Frontenac. The fries are excellent, as are the hot sauces.

Les burgers étaient bons . Mes deux amies ont pris des poutines . Elles ont dit que ce n'était pas terrible . Sauce liquide & des patates à déjeuner pas très bonnes à la place des frites . Première & dernière visite !

Wir bestellten zwei Burger-Combos, die jeweils Pommes bzw Süßkartoffelpommes und Softgetränk beinhalteten. Fleisch, Bun und Pommes sehr lecker, hätte etwas mehr Sauce auf dem Burger sein dürfen. Hausgemachte Mangolimo war sehr gut. Sehr schön, dass es noch Lokale gibt, die Drinks selbst machen. Es war insgesamt etwas zugig und eng, ansonsten hat es uns gut gefallen. Glutenfreies Burgerbun gegen Aufpreis möglich. Nur Kartenzahlung, man wird vor der Bestellung darauf hingewiesen.

Went for lunch, insanely busy as its peak tourist season. Waiters were very nice & hardworking. We got our food relatively quick however we ordered more items after we got our meals including water for multiple people (we were a table of 6) & the water took a while to come. One person didn't even get any water despite asking. This is totally okay as it was busy & it is easy to miss one or two things here & there.

How good is the food? Depends on what you get. The milkshakes, soda, & fries are fantastic. A regular order of fries is a very generous portion. The vegan poutine is.... weird. The sauce isn't even trying to resemble a gravy, it really seemed like it was just their tomato soup poured over some potatoes & cheese curds (i asked for regular cheese curds as i am a vegetarian, not vegan. It normally comes with tofu curds). I ate it but as i was expecting a more gravy like sauce, i did not enjoy. I wish the menu described it a little better. The portion was also weird. We had asked how the portions were & the waiter showed us the bowls they would come in. I ordered a small because it looked like a solid amount for a heavy dish. The bowl was maybe a little more than half full. Lesson learned. We got a couple regular orders of fries for the table after as a few of us were still hungry.
I would absolutely go again, but will be opting for something else for sure.

I ordered the garden burger (vegetarian) with fries & a homemade raspberry soda.

Let's start with the burger. The patty was mostly rice & pumpkin seeds-an interesting concept-but it completely fell apart. I'm not sure what the binding ingredient was (if any), but it didn't hold its shape at all. I ended up eating it with a knife & fork, which kind of defeats the purpose of a burger. It came topped with tomato, lettuce, marinated onions, & beets on a brioche bun. I had to add some Firebarns lime & jalapeno sauce just to bring it to life-it was bland overall.

Now, the fries? Fantastic. Freshly cut, cooked perfectly, & topped with a unique salty-sweet seasoning that really worked. & the homemade raspberry soda was a winner too-fresh, tangy, & not overly sweet. Both the fries & the drink were standout items.

The atmosphere was also a big plus-welcoming, laid-back, & with a cool, original vibe that made the experience feel thoughtful & intentional.
Overall, I'm giving it 4 stars. The burger needs serious improvement-if you're offering a vegetarian option, make it one worth coming back for. & only accepting credit or debit? That's a bit of a letdown in 2025. Still, the fries, the drink, & the vibe saved the day

Incredible service & kind staff! Vegan poutine just straight up had tomato sauce instead of gravy though… also it came on chunks of potatoes instead of French fries which is odd because we saw other tables have french fries. like it wasn't necessarily bad but maybe it should be mentioned on the menu that it's tomato sauce & not a cool vegan mushroom gravy or something lol
Anyways 5 stars

I was so happy to see kimchi bulgogi poutine on the menu! It was a fun & unique twist. However, the food overall was quite salty & intense, possibly because there was too much sauce. I also ordered the veggie salad, but the dressing was extremely tangy-so much so that it made my tongue sting. On the bright side, the tomato soup was absolutely fantastic!
