I was visiting from the US and was genuinely impressed by the menu. The chicken is grilled fresh on-site, giving it that satisfying charred flavor, then finished with your choice of glaze, veggie sides, and sauce. Everything tasted fresh and came together really well. It hit the spot so much that I ended up coming back a second time--and Poulet Rouge delivered just as well. The service was excellent & it also helped that this location is open till late. Definitely a spot I'd love to see expand into the US!

Americans familiar with the make-your-own-bowl dining situation will know how this place works…read more This is a fast food restaurant that I first spotted at the Quebec City mall food court. The passing trays looked amazing but we couldn't find seating to save our lives so we struck out to look for another location nearby. You start with a base: quinoa, rice, bulgur, fries (poutine), or lettuce. You choose a number of chicken tenders in one or two flavors, then choose from a variety of toppings. The staff here *understandably* is not great in English, which can of course change depending on where you go and when you come. This was one of our first stops before my high school/college French instruction "clicked on" again, so ordering was mildly stressful for our family. It would have been nice if there were some pre-designed bowl recipes to select from (like Cava, for example). For those of you willing to play the language barrier game, the sky is the limit in terms of how you can personalize your bowl. Like every Quebecois dining establishment, this fast food chain is head and shoulders above any American equivalent. Even their poutine (which can be messed up, I assure you) was among the top poutines I've eaten. This is a great place to grab a quick meal, as light or heavy as you require.

Best poutine in all of QC! I stumbled into the Chic Shack…read morewhile exploring old QC/ Frontenac. The location is perfect and close to everything. I loved my old style poutine forestiere with mushroom ragout, shallots and potato wedges / cheese curds. The size was on the small side, I was fully satisfied with the portion. Other poutine places have ginormous sizes so this was a relief personally. Waitstaff were helpful with translation, younger waitstaff were very polite despite language differences. They do not accept cash at the establishment. I also ordered a latte which was a good pick me up.

Old‑school charm, family‑run warmth, and a friendly vibe that makes you feel like a regular on your first visit. When it gets busy (and it does), it's perfect for takeout. I tried the Trio 3 Combo, and wow. The hot dog comes wrapped in butter‑toasted white bread and topped with creamy coleslaw--simple, nostalgic, and ridiculously satisfying. The small poutine that comes with it is loaded with squeaky cheese curds. Not a sprinkle... a mountain. Then there's the Gaston Poutine. This one is a full meal: heaps of cheese curds, crispy bacon, and ground beef all swimming in rich gravy. Hearty, comforting, and honestly one of the best poutines I've ever had. If you love supporting small, local, family‑owned spots--and you appreciate classic Quebec comfort food done right--Chez Gaston is absolutely worth the stop

If I remember correctly, there were menus in English to help us pick our food. The staff was really nice though and helped us as we struggled with selecting our poutine.

We chose the Jack Daniels which was pretty good! The poutine portion was pretty big and I highly recommend sharing. Come check out this place!

The girl that took our order was friendly enough and she did the prep too, though she looked like she'd seen better days. No energy, no enthusiasm, that's for sure. Our order didn't take long and it was hot, it just didn't taste that great. I got a poutine with onions and the number of onions was absolutely overwhelming...like I ordered two onions with cheese, fries, and gravy. I couldn't believe how many onions were on it. My wife had a basic poutine and it was much better, just nothing super, super special. The interior decor is like stepping back into 80's, but is beat to hell. Gangsta rap pumping throughout isn't really my thing either, lol. Doubtful that I'd go back.

The star was the buffalo chicken poutine, which can only be found in Quebec. The portion was huge and the gravy and toppings were plentiful.

The veggie burger was pretty dry and unimpressive. We loved the blueberry cheesecake pie! Service was good and the restaurant was clean.
