Le Resto Du Village

First experience with Poutine and it was excellent!

Good food and friendly staff overall… opens 24 hours and you know where to go when you get hungry at 3 in the morning…

always a great place to eat 24 hours a day. super staff and tasty food. this place is a real gem!!!

Tried a poutine for the first time here. Not sure if I am a big fan of it, but the fries were crispy and tasty!

Average quality…
i tried the poutine but I felt the sauce was too dense and concentrated. It overpowered the entire poutine.
I also tried the lasagna not the best but it’s pretty decent. However, it is spicy so if you don’t like it spicy don’t get it. The service is good and fast can’t complain

Not impressed. Ordered breakfast and instead of serving the toast right away, we had to wait until our meals were ready (which also took a long while). My table was not offered any coffee refills and basically the servers never returned to check on us. If they weren’t bringing out the food, then they would be standing in the front.
As another Unilocaler mentioned, the food was mediocre. There are many restaurants nearby with better service.

Ce resto du Village je l’aime. Pour l’originalité du nom on repassera. Mais pour le reste, rien à dire. On retrouve les classiques d’un diner, mais aussi des plats du jour et des formules intéressantes.
Ouvert 24h, il est certes moins bien placé que ses voisins de la rue Ste-​Catherine mais le détour mérite d’être fait en cas de petit creux en pleine nuit, je vous le garantis.
Vous y gagnerez en qualité des plats, en qualité de service et y serez bien plus à l’aise.
J’y ai toujours été bien accueilli et servi, jamais pressé de partir car la petitesse du lieu le rend très confortable.
Certes on n’est pas dans la haute gastronomie mais ce n’est vraiment pas ce qu’on recherché en venant ici, et les plats bien que simples restent très bons.
Attention en cas de forte affluence (sorties de clubs, etc) les tables sont prises rapidement !

Hours: 7am-​midnight
Alcohol: none
WiFi: yes, ask for password
Food: poutine is very good
Type: simple, local restaurant

Only eat here when you’re drunk and it’s the only thing open. The food is really mediocre and the service is bitchy. I got the «chinese» shrimp and noodles. It was macaroni with disgustingly salty canned shrimp. I’m not sure what I was thinking ordering that, but it was so disgusting I couldn’t eat it. My friend’s poutine was very mediocre. Overlooked fries. I’ve had better poutine at a fast food restaurant.
I’m not trying to be bitchy, but this place is not good.

Cozy little restaurant with 24 hour service

Menu du genre «diner» Américain. Le club sandwich est excellent, les frites aussi. Ils ont aussi un menu table d’hôte qui change périodiquement, avec des repas complets, ragoûts, poissons, pâtes, etc.
Les prix sont abordables; c’est ouvert 24h/​24; les serveurs sont efficaces, etc. Un excellent choix quand on né cherche pas de la haute gastronomie, mais qu’on veut quand même bien manger.

I came here for brunch after helping a friend move into a new apartment. Good choice it was! I had the croque monsieur which was pretty good and a pile of fries. The fries were also really good. Seriously, does everyone in Montréal actually make their own???
Anyways, this is a fun, no frills dining experience and as I have learned, a place to end up after the bars close.

I’ve only been to the place twice in 2 years but I find that the food tastes better after a bar trip. The place is small so you would have to tuck your elbows while trying to maneuver your way into your poutine.
I make it a point to check out a food place’s washroom as it is my benchmark on quality control. A dirt spot on one of its walls has never been touched since last year, so unless it’s «organic» paint, then somebody has selective blindness.

So glad our host, Michel, Studio Living B&B, suggested this 24 hr diner for a late meal after checking in. We had poutine at other restaurants but this by far was the best. One negative: no alcohol, canned sodas only. I believe you can bring your own wine, but you would want to confirm that.

This little hole-​in-​the-​wall, gay-​friendly place is decked out with kitchy ceramic pigs and has a cozy diner feel.
It’s a local spot that’s open 24 hours in the Village and a great place to get late-​night poutine after the bars let out… but that’s about it.
The food is simple Quebecoise comfort food (poutine, hot chicken sandwiches, pudding Chomeur) and breakfast items but it’s nothing you couldn’t make at home.
The portions are large– do not try to tackle an order of poutine by yourself and the prices are reasonable.
A big downside is the staff. I’ve gotten attitude there from one male employee on a few occasions and I still don’t know why. That alone is a huge letdown. I hate when staff acts annoyed by patrons– I get it, you’d rather not be here but it’s what you signed up for (this is coming from a person who’s done their time in the food service industry.)
I really want to like this place but the unmemorable and sometimes bland food just doesn’t do it for me.

This was my first place to try Canada poutine.
GREAT FOOD. Interesting people.
Must have.
Done.

The bed and breakfast i was staying at for a conference had breakfast but I really wanted to have a nice sit down breakfast on my last day in Montréal. As noted in other reviews the restaurant is just into the village and definitely seems focused on serving the local residents in that area (a number of rainbow items in the café) and of course, also a number of cool pig themed items. For breakfast, among other things, they offer a number of omelets and… one of my favorite breakfast items, eggs benedict (several types, including one with asparagus and another with crab). Coffee was provided right away and it was only a short time till breakfast arrived with a nice side of home fries. As others have noted the national dish of Canada, poutine, seems to be a popular item but could just not see having that for breakfast.
Overall, a cool (and somewhat funky) little place that is popular with the locals and for breakfast, a good solid choice away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist area — worth going to at least one morning when you are in Montréal.

Poutine is one of those things I have to have when I’m back in Canada — it’s on the menu at pretty much any place you can get a hamburger. I was recently in Montréal for a conference for a few days. Since Poutine is Quebcoise food, so was determined to not have just ANY Poutine, but the best version of it I could find. After a so so version at a deli, and reading competing claims about various places, we decided to check out this place, in the heart of the Gay Village. The menu had a lot of options, but looking around the room, everyone was having poutine, either as a main or a side.
My husband and I split a large, which was more than enough for two hungry people. There were a lot of options — Poutine with mushrooms, with vegetables, with pepperoni, with sausages, with everything. We decided to go with Bacon as a topping, which was a good choice — the bacon was thick, crispy, and generously portioned. But the main event is the Poutine itself. The fries were great — large cut and crunchy — the gravy super hot, meaning that the cheese curds were mostly melted by the time it was served. Definitely going back next time we are in Montréal.

It’s a cute, hole in the wall kind of a place that’s mostly for locals of the gay village.
I ordered the hot chicken sandwich with french fries while my friends ordered different versions of poutine (chicken and another with meat). I cannot be bothered to eat poutine. One of two bites is good enough for me, but i cannot stomach an entire plate of that. Anyhoo, my hot chicken sandwich was not what i expected. It was literally drenched in gravy. So much so that the bread was like soggy newspaper. Not to say that the chicken inside, smothered in a little of the gravy outside wasn’t good, but i like my hot sandwiches to be HOT and CRUNCHY. Not soggy and wet.
I wouldn’t say it was bad. At all. It was pretty good and all my friends enjoyed their meals. Give it a shot if you’re in the area and if you get the chicken sandwich, tell them you want the gravy on the side, unless you’re into soggy bread.

I wanted to experience local fare during my recent visit to Montréal and after reading some Unilocal reviews decided to try this place in the Gay Village. I went for lunch and was not disappointed! This hole-​in-​the-​wall kitschy place with the ceramic pigs and the gay following is right up my alley. There are over 10 different kinds of poutine to try as well as sandwiches and other casual dishes a la Canadian (with gravy, tons of gravy!).
Our waitress didn’t speak English, but since the menu is in both French & English we were able to communicate. You can tell everyone there was local, which is always a good sign! And being this is a local place, the prices were very reasonable.
I had the chicken poutine and my friend had the burger poutine. They were both delicious. Go with an empty stomach because we both ordered the «petit» version and it was still way to big to finish! I had poutine at some places in Montréal, but I have to say the best poutine was had here. Another friend ordered the hot chicken sandwich… beware this isn’t a regular hot chicken sandwich, it’s drenched in gravy. Breakfast is served all day, so another friend tried their breakfast and was also satisfied.
All in all, I liked it! I would definitely be back to try something else if I’m ever back in the area.

This place hit the spot when we first arrived to Montréal. I had a chef’s salad that was out of this world! I couldn’t even see the lettuce under all of the fresh veggies (green, orange and yellow bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, celery) and the Italian dressing was creamy and delicious. My bf had a caesar salad that he also raved about.
For dinner I had a BLT which was everything a BLT should be and my bf had a chicken and tomato club that, aside from the chicken being a bit dry, was decent diner food. The peppercorn gravy poutine was interesting, but I probably wouldn’t eat it. This was my first time experiencing poutine and I guess I am just not a fan.
Overall, the food was satisfying and affordable. We will probably hit this place up once more before leaving the city.

Dennis, my partner and I, call this «The Pig Restaurant» as they have so many little ceramic pigs that decorate the dining room.
I love this tiny restaurant in the heart of the gay village!
Open 24 hrs, this French Quebec café has everything from soups, sandwiches, poutine, great coffee, braised beef and carrots, hamburger steak, homemade desserts, yummy breakfasts, and so much more.
I love it that I can have all choices at any time. Prices are cheap, cheap, cheap!
