I recently bought a hot dog deluxe at their new location at Complexe Desjardins in Montreal. It was…read morepooey! It tasted a bit bitter due to their toppings. There was cheese in it. I didn't want cheese. There were also green peppers and caramelized onions. All in a bun. It was dripping too. There were about 5 guys behind the counter!!!It takes 5 guys to make a hot dog? What planet are they from? The Ashton in Quebec is lousy too. Tasteless burgers. And they charge $5.75 for a doggy deluxe on top of it all. Some nerve.

Good old Ashton, most popular at any food court in Quebec!…read moreCan't go wrong with a mini or even bébé anytime, really. I prefer mine with sausages on top, but there's of course people who prefere ground meat (Dulton). Pretty inexpensive, filling, and delicious. This particular Ashton still feels brand new, with shiny logos and counters. Service is always courteous and pretty fast for freshly made everything. A constant for anyone in Quebec, and anyone who loves poutine.

Chez Gaston is the kind of hidden gem you almost don't want to tell people about. It's tiny--maybe…read moreten seats if you squeeze--but it feels like stepping into a time capsule in the best way. 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

This place has no right to be as popular as it is. I heard nothing but rave reviews about how it's…read moreso amazing and has the best burgers of all time. Have these people never had a burger before? There's nothing wrong with the burgers here, but there's also nothing right about them. They're burgers. Meat, bread, lettuce, sauces..yep. It's a burger. And it's okay. Bland and by-the-book to a fault. It tasted liked they perfected the art of having minimal flavors and ingredients, as if they were weighing the taste of each in a highly technical way. I forgot I even went here by the next day and was only reminded by pictures I took. It's basically the Quebecois version of whatever one step up from an Applebee's would be, but with a premium price tag and hype. Any other burger in town would probably be just as good if not better. Side was pretty bad. Basically burnt tofu. Service was lacking, but there. I was tended to in the most basic 'there's another table to get through' way possible. Check took a long time to get to me and I ended up just walking up to the counter. Not sure why. There weren't a lot of people there. Tons of seating and a pretty nice view, although that's hard to not have in Quebec City. Can't recommend it with so many other options and delicacies not all that far away. Don't go out of your way to come to this place. Location: 4* Convenience: 2* Service: 1* Product/quality: 3* Aesthetics: 1*

I'm giving out five stars because Chez Ashton is everything a poutine should be. However, keep in…read moremind that I'm severely biased on this one. Why? 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.

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 crispy French fries and the white cheddar cheese curds were good with the gravy. It is a must try dish if you're in Quebec, Canada.

We ordered the La Belle (The Beauty) Burger ($25) and the Sausage Poutine ($18)…read more Even already considering it to be an artisanal or gourmet burger, I personally find it just a tad bit expensive at $25. 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.

Atmosphere is dark, very acoustic with high ceilings. 20 tables. It's perched on a second level, atop the highway. Staff is kind and service good. The cheese curds are spongy. The Canada whiskey I inquired about; they did not have. A Canadian bar without whiskey. The place is perfect for millennials drinking 'fake-tinis'. The evening when I came in for dinner, was kind of dead. Bumping music, rocker wall-art, anarchy and music decor: wide-ranged burger menu that offers everything from one topped with eggs, to fried onion, avocado and lots of variations. It is burger heavy.

Tourists that are going to visit Laurier Quebec (shopping center) should definitely eat here, and try a poutine!

We tried the India which was a butter chicken sauce with chicken and mushrooms. It was a fun dish with good flavor gravy. Odd choice to me to put mushrooms in it since I've never had butter chicken with mushrooms. The Chicken was thin sliced, I was expecting more like chunks. Regardless this was a solid 4 in my book. We also tried the Hat Trick which is basically a three meat poutine with bacon, ground beef and hot dogs. This was also solid, not as unique, but good. Probably a 3.75. we ordered the mega sized for both, which made the 2 dishes enough food for 3-4 people depending how hungry you are. We wanted the leftovers. The down side to this experience was the service. The place was nearly empty. The server passed us with a pitcher of water in have and didn't even fill the glasses. When we ordered a diet Pepsi instead of getting a fountain drink we got it in a can (both options were in the menu, fountain was cheaper), why not ask us if not sure what we want? At the end we waited a while to see the server and instead just ended up asking the hostess for our to-go containers. Nothing horrible, just meh. The takeaway, pretty good poutine with not so hot service.

The veggies were fresh and the dressing was tasty. My favorite thing was the mocktails, I got the sunset and it was so good, perfect combo of sweet and tart from the grapefruit! The second one was great also and had fresh blueberries and raspberry's which I appreciated. Overall it was good and I recommend.
