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

The hand‑cut fries were hearty, the gravy was generous without being overwhelming, and the curds had that satisfying squeak. It's definitely on the heavier side--as poutine should be--but totally satisfying. Service was fast, warm, and genuinely friendly, which made the quick stop even better. A great choice when you want something cozy and indulgent after braving the cold.

I was curious about the classic poutine but when I saw the Mexican poutine on the menu, I knew I had to try it. It was so incredibly delicious! It was classic poutine but with beans, corn and other vegetables with guacamole and sour cream on the side. The atmosphere was very cool with music videos projected on a wall. Our waiter was a sweetheart. All four of us absolutely loved our meals that night. What an awesome way to start our weekend getaway in Quebec!!

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 smoked meat was as you would expect from a Quebec restaurant - they know how to make it. The pasta was good and home-made. Service was quick and responsive. We didn't have to wait long and our meal was on the table in front of us. There are a few TVs around the facility. Tables and chairs are average quality. It's not necessarily the ambiance you are going for. But it was clean.

The staff was very kind and patient, as we were somewhat indecisive. We didn't feel rushed and they were able to make suggestions for the kids. The menu had enough variety for us to choose from where we didn't feel overwhelmed nor did we feel like we had to settle with a dish. Everything tasted fresh and was very well presented. The portions were extremely generous. My family enjoyed their choices. I really enjoyed the pulled pork pizza - it had a nice drizzle on it - the flavors made it more sweet than savory, which I didn't mind, because I ordered a side of fries too. LOL. When we were leaving the owner thanked us and welcomed us back any time. It was all around a great experience...and within walking distance to our hotel (Hotel Pur).

We ordered the Jr sized India - Butter Chicken and the Hat Trick poutines and they were quite a serving. If you're not that hungry, you can get away with sharing just a Jr size of any of these poutines and get pretty full since it's so hearty. We also thought the restaurant was more upscale looking than we expected and it was incredibly kid-friendly.
