This place probably isn't on your guidebook, but it is worth a visit, especially in the summer. The location is in Cartierville which is about 30 minutes from downtown on a tree lined boulevard, in a residential area.
The interior is retro diner with drawings...from Archie characters, red vinyl booth seating, but the difference is that it was not contrived to look retro/hipster. It is what it always has been, a local greasy spoon that serves honest and simple poutine along with sandwiches, hotdogs, breakfast etc.
There is a take out windows with seating outside on the terrace or you can dine inside. They only take cash with an ATM just inside the door.
We tried the Montrealaise poutine which has shavings of smoked meat on top. The grilled hot dog was inexpensive and tasty. It is served on a buttered thick toast.
Worth a try, for the food but also for the experience.More
