    Excellent, excellent service. Fast and good food by a staff that's on. I have been here twice and each time walk away happy.  

    This is a classic diner, with classic diner food as well as Quebecois favorites like smoked meat and poutine - nothing particularly fancy or amazing, just good solid food and fast.

    I walked in on a Friday night at 6:45. The place was packed, I was seated and had my food in about 7 minutes. They impress.

    I've been going to Fameux for well over a decade and until recently had only indulged in their "gros poutine pour partager" avec un coke and normally only after 2:00am. This 24-hour classic "booths and old school waitresses" diner is one of those authentic Montreal haunts where Franco Anglo young old hipster blue collar academic congregate under one roof to hunker down with some hearty eats. Their menu is fairly comprehensive but focuses on pizza, poutine, clubs, platters, and smoked meat. They also do a decent breakfast.

    A friend, whilst pregnant, started craving their "Star Burger Supreme" and when I asked her partner what was in it they promptly whisked me away to sample it. We each ordered "the" burger, cherry coke and broiled poutine to share (which initially I thought sounded like sacrilege but turned out to be extremely satisfying eliminating the soggy fry factor). The star burger was INTENSE - consisting of a classic patty with bacon, cheese curds, onion rings AND a slice of cheese on a bun. It was impressive but overall I found it fairly bland (perhaps a little more  mustard would have helped?) and due to extreme grease-factor the bun got soggy before I could finish it. The cherry coke was a perfect, ultra sweet, way to cut through the grease though!

    I'll continue frequenting this spot as I'm definitely a fan of their classic and broiled poutine, the mushroom pizza and the atmosphere in general. And really, who can resist a place with booths? I can't!

    Pizza... This is the BEST thing they make and this is the BEST pizza in the neighborhood.

    Medical warning; Fameux pizza is not for people with high cholesterol, heart disease, or people on strict diets.

    The pizza is fantastic! I've had it from there a few times and it is always good!

    This place is a legend, the old guard, a little of the old fashioned. But the clientele has gotten younger and younger everytime I've gone in for a club sandwich, cheeseburger or pogo. Recently I was there Christmas Day, me and some friends found ourselves on our own for the night and wanted to get some grub. Nothing was open except....good old Le Fameux!! I had a version of a hot turkey sandwich with a scoop of mash and some veg. Goodtimes, always to be had at this friendly and rustic diner. Go with friends or go alone it won't dissappoint.
