There was a small 20 minute wait to get in, and they had 2 lines, one for take out and one for dine in. We had. Nice employee come by and check on us to make sure we were in the right line, so really good service right from the start! Once we got in, we ordered the large La Shoot Out (9/10 rating). This thing was loaded and it was all so good. It came with smoked meat, bacon, spicy sausage and pepperoni on top of the traditional cheese curds and gravy. Totally worth jt for $28.60 CAD. Their Blanche beer (8/10) was light and refreshing and balanced out the savory poutine. The ambiance in the restaurant was loud and busy. The tables were a tight fit and every table and seat were filled. There was some decor and throughout the restaurant. Overall, great experience to try authentic Canadian Poutine! Highly recommend!

The line wasn't too busy when we went, we waited about 20 minutes to be seated, which wasn't bad at all. But, we were told it can get long. The restaurant itself is super busy and tables are pretty close to each other. It has a cool and modern vibe to it. There is also outdoor seating. Their menu has over 20 different types of poutine. We decided to get the La shoot-out - this has smoked meat, bacon, spicy sausage, and pepperoni. We shared the large portion and it was massive. I give it a 9/10 - it was delicious! They loaded it with a lot of meat, the fries were soft with some crispiness, the gravy was soooo good, and the cheese curds were yummy. This whole concoction was great! To drink we ordered one of their beers - La Banquise Blanche - nice beer! Service was good, our waitress was nice and helpful. Overall, this a must if you are in Montreal. You can't miss eating poutine.

If I had to be a bit nit-picky, I would say that even with the quality of the entire experience taken into account, the prices could have been a bit better. I think we spent about $60 per person and were still a little bit hungry after all was said and done.

My mom is gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, 100% olive oil... lots of dietary restrictions, and Damas accommodated for her so kindly! The staff were super kind and welcoming. My mom had come here once before, and the waitress remembered her by name and was incredibly gracious and patient as my mom explained her diet. As for the food, just WOW. The pomegranate salad was incredible, and we got the lamb, chicken, mushrooms... everything was so beautifully plated with vibrant colors and burst of many flavors. Each perfectly cooked. It's amazing how they can turn something as "simple" as mushrooms and chicken to be so incredibly delicious. We celebrated my mom's birthday here, and the ambiance was perfect for it. 10/10 would recommend this place, especially for anyone with allergies.

As I was very hungry and looking for some comfort food, I decided on this burger joint that was on my bookmarks for the past 3 years. Needless to say, I was very satisfied. As I walked in this place, I was served by very friendly staff who promptly took my order. The service that night however was slow because they had to make the fries just for us. The wait for it was well worth though. I took "Le Farci" which is a burger with the beef patty stuffed with cheese; something that I've never tasted before. This patty topped with a great sauce and the crisp yet soft in the middle bun made it into a perfect burger. I also took a side of poutine, which was great as well. The fries were fresh and crispy, with just the right amount of sauce to melt that cheese. This place is definitely worth the trip if you are craving not only for a burger, but for good food!

Upon entering the restaurant, I'm instantly reminded of the late nights waiting at a halal cart in nyc after a night out. This restaurant itself is not the cleanest and rather chaotic on weekend nights. Theres usually a long line to order, but it moves rather quickly and efficiently. The staff members aren't the friendliest, but they get the job done LOL. You'll find a bunch of hungry and probably drunk people sitting at the cafeteria styled seats at night. The food is the main selling point here though. I've gotten the mixed platter and shawarma platter; both with generous servings of protein all doused in a flavorful sauce. Ordered the poutine recently and was also impressed how much they loaded the protein. It was a little on the saltier side and wished they had more cheese curds, but still pretty enjoyable. The fries were also more like small potato wedges. I've recommended this place countless times for almost any point of the day, but they especially hit the spot after a long night.
