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.

We liked the Gravy, the cheese curds and cheesy pull. Too bad the Fries didn't stay crispy. Cheese bacon fries was also good. Cost was about $24 Canadian dollars - which I thought was a bit pricey.

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. I also tried the habanero chicken sandwich, the veggie burger, and the blueberry cheesecake pie. The poutine is by far the best item. The chicken sandwich was just okay. The veggie burger was pretty dry and unimpressive. We loved the blueberry cheesecake pie! Service was good and the restaurant was clean. It's definitely worth a visit when you need something quick and easy.

Soon I picked up my order from the counter. First of all, I had to double check my receipt to make sure my French had been good enough to let the lady taking my order that I wanted a small order of frites. I'd need help with anything larger than that! (There is also a baby option, which a sensible me would have ordered.) The Michigan was a steamee with a sweet meat sauce, and brought back a lot of pleasant childhood memories. The frites were perfect, not too salty, not greasy. The root beer was...from a can. Prices were very reasonable. Certainly no more expensive than a corporate fast food place, and with much higher quality meals. The place has a wood theme going on. Better than a place with a plastic theme going on. It was also very clean. The lady taking ordes was also frequently coming out from behind the counter with a spray bottle and cloth to clean tables. Was this fine dining? Of course not! Was it elevated fast food? YES! I would come back, just not too often, because I no longer have a young person's metabolism.

We walked in for a late lunch at 2:30 pm. The staff was very welcoming. The restaurant is not big but it wasn't busy at the time. Prices were reasonable. We ordered the most popular poutine, the gaston medium size. It came with minced steak, onions, sausages, cheese curds, fries, and gravy. I had poutine before in Illinois and I thought it was mid, nothing worth going back for. The Canadian version is way better. The cheese curds taste different than the ones in Illinois and Wisconsin. It was soft and went well with the housemade gravy. The meat and onions were fresh. The fries were soft and not too soggy. The flavor of the whole thing was superb. It's weird that the American versions of other countries' food always taste subpar and off.
