Restaurants D Lafleur

Not exactly comparable to a real casse croute steamie and poutine but it does the job!
Lafleur’s has always been consistent in its food as they use fresh cut potatoes and loads of real Quebec curd cheese with brown gravy on their poutines. The steamies are every bit as good as I remember them.
Again, not at la Banquise level for the poutine and not at Montréal Pool Room level for the dogs but it will do the job any day with consistency.

I went for the 59 cent steamies and with low expectations. Hadn’t been here in YEARS! I still laugh at the typical «suivant-​next!» of Lafleur’s yesteryear. Today I was surprised. Don’t know what Lafleur’s is trying to become, but this new look doesn’t fit for me. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for modern, but the way the restaurant is laid out with booths that force you to get really close to see if anyone is in it, to the floor that was dangerously slippery when wet (I was wearing winter boots!), I didn’t like it.
At the counter, I spoke to the older guy in English and he obviously understood, but every answer was in French. Every word. Like I said, the «suivant-​next» was nostalgic. I got the sense this was a «suivant”-only kind of place now.
As for the dogs, it was a 59-​cent item. How much can we reasonably expect? Meh.

The same taste and quality from when I was a kid. Great service! Very clean! Still the best fries in Montréal.

Restaurent propre. Les frites sont très bonnes. Peu de sel (Y). Les portions sont généreuses. De plus, les employées sont amicales. Tout pour un repas réussie!

I thought this place used to be much more run down. I’m pretty sure they’ve done some renos. It looks like any other fast food resto with booths and such. It’s too bad they only have one cash open, a huge line, and this giant wraparound space to pick up your order which really could’ve been more efficiently designed.
The poutine here is good. The cheese could be squeakier.
I’m not into steamies.
They sell Pogos too.

I liked Lafleur. It may seem dated but that’s nostalgic in my books. Kind of how many La Belle Province still look a little stuck in time this place is a bit so what? The food is ok and it’s a quick place to get a bite.
Hot dogs? Poutine? That’s a magical combo yes? If you’re looking for a quick fast meal and you feel like having fast food I’d rather come here than McDonald’s and yes they also have smoked meat and burgers too.
Just remember trio = combo (fries, drink) but dont’ forget about poutine.

This place is a throw back to another time. An ugly time from the 70’s and 80’s. They haven’t changed, but they should. I’ve often felt like I’m in a prison cafeteria waiting for my portion of food. And if you’ve been here late enough you even feel like you might have to fight to keep your food!
