I did enjoy eating the burger. The juicy and savory patty was balanced with the sweetness of the fig jelly and caramelized onions. For the burger's side, instead of going wih the fries we went with mac & cheese and paid extra. The mac & cheese is an easy recommend. Our other order was the Sausage poutine. The Sausage poutine was OK to good. I would not consider it among my favorite takes on Poutine, but it is still well worth the try. Service was excellent. Our waiter was bilingual in French and English and helped us with the ordering experience. He also occasionally checked up on our section of the restaurant conversing with different tables in English or French as required. The setting of the restaurant was interesting in that there is like a bar section bordered by like a balcony or terrace, and the more quiet section where we were seated facing outwards to the mall. The bathrooms are by the middle part where the guest entrance is. The walls and tiling of the place has so much character with picture frames, an arcade, and all the photos posted.

They're located in Saint-Foy and there's plenty of free parking underground but you have to validate your parking ticket at the restaurant. I ordered the Cassolette Provençale with potato rösti, grilled veggies, tomato sauce, topped with broiled mozzarella and an egg on top. It was hearty, very delicious but the portion was too small. I think if they'd given 1.5 more of it, that would've been more satisfying. The cool thing about this place is that they offer a gluten-free menu so that was great for my fellow diner.

Saint-Louis-de-France is the neighbourhood I grew up in, and this particular Ashton location has not changed since 1997. Hence the nostalgia. I have actually never eaten anything but poutine at Ashton. It's not a fancy place, so the only toppings available are hot-dog, Dulton (grounded meat), extra cheese/sauce and whatnot. I suppose that if I was more objective, I would say fries are average and taste a bit oily (they recently started using smaller ones to get more crisp, but I'm not sure I agree on the decision). The cheese is proper (squeaky = fresh). The gravy is great, but many non-locals are not used to how thin it is. In fact, it should probably be called "sauce" (it's meant to soak the fries). So, Ashton is basically the most endearing comfort food for locals, and just generic fast-food for many outsiders. I call it my own favorite, but it also made my quest for poutine very difficult in Montreal... Tip: In winter, there's rebate if temperature fall lower than -20'C. So -34'C means 30% rebate.

La Belle Province and Les Restaurants Lafleur have better and these are chain restaurants. The fries have a funny taste of them, as if they were fried in oil used to fry the hamburgers. The sauce just doesn't seem right either. The cheese on the other hand is on par for poutine cheese. As for the hamburger, it's nothing special. I got bacon cheeseburger with barbecue sauce, it tastes like any other bacon cheeseburger. Note to all, the patties are fried and not grilled. I'm a send of charbroiled hamburgers over the fried version. So the hamburger really didn't do anything for me. I have to say the taste is pretty good though. Overall, it's not a bad place it's just not a must go to place.

They have some Quebec staples like poutine and foie gras, and a selection of 10" pizzas available. We came here for lunch and each had a French onion soup. I had a Shack's Poutine by myself, while my mom and dad shared a beef cheek pizza. The French onion soup was a bit salty. I find it intriguing that multiple establishments in Quebec City kept mentioning their onion soups as the "best in town", including this one. This one was good, but I'd give Chez Boulay the crown from all the places I tried. The poutine, on the other hand, was excellent. Will never say no to plentiful cheese curds, and I don't mind foie gras at all. My parents enjoyed the beef cheek pizza, particularly highlighting the BBQ sauce and the smoked beef cheeks. Service was excellent. We arrived around 11:30am and there was one other table taken, but by the time we left around 1pm there was a lineup. Personally I would come back here.

I was really looking forward to a cheesy onion soup moment, but it wasn't what I expected. The bread and cheese were served on the side, so you don't get that dramatic cheesy pull you're hoping for. The presentation was beautiful, but overall the flavors were just okay for me, it didn't leave a strong impression. I personally felt the seasoning leaned a bit on the bland side, but maybe that's just me having a saltier palate. One thing I would like to note is that their menu changes seasonally, so don't rely too heavily on older reviews because dishes might not be available anymore.
