Wonderful young lady helped us. And the food was good and very reasonably priced. Didn't get back to try the ice cream but had a pretty good assortment of flavors and the prices were really good. Worth checking it out. Like a roadside canteen

If your looking for a great tasting Poutine, this is the place. The fries were really tasty and well cooked, the sauce was smooth and delicious and the cheese tasted very « squeaky » & fresh. The prices are a bit more expensive than elsewhere but I don’t mind if it’s this good !!! The menu is very diversified: poutines, hot-dogs, hamburgers , lobsters rolls, ice cream, etc. The seating area is only outside but you can sit either in the sun or in the shade area at the back of the building. The staff is really nice and polite. 2 min car ride or Uber from all the main hotels located below the airport area. Recommend you try it! GOOD JOB

Got a small fries with gravy and it was one of the best fries combination I’ve had. Wonderful hole in the wall spot. It had a neighbourhood favourite feel to it with lots of locals enjoying the food. Come here!!

This was by far the BEST poutine we have ever had. The cheese burgers were also amazing. I searched for "best poutine near me", this place was on the list and they did not disappoint. They are also walking distance from our hotel. 10/10 would go back or recommend to people going to Quebec City.
