Le Resto Du Village

We have just returned from Montreal, celebrating the Divers Cite. Had several meals at Le Resto Du Village and it was fantastic. Small, cozy, comfortable, inexpensive, friendly, and great food. Can't say enough good thiings about the place. Just off St. Catherine on Wolfe, so a bit off the beaten track, more locals than tourists. If you want a small diner experience, with the French ambience, and amazing poutine you must check out this gem!!!

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 Montreal. 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 cafe) 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 Montreal.

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 Montreal 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 Montreal.

This would be the Quebec equivalent of a diner. The atmosphere is nothing fancy, and it serves all-day breakfast along with sandwiches and about 10 types of poutine. I had the chicken poutine which had some unappetizing grey-green peas from frozen, but the French fries in the gravy were great. The service was very friendly.

I wanted to experience local fare during my recent visit to Montreal and after reading some yelp 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 Montreal, 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.

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.

This place hit the spot when we first arrived to Montreal. 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 cafe 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!

Just returned to our hotel at 1:30AM from the best plate of poutine I've ever had. The owner was gracious and polite, brought us everything with a smile and checked in a few times while we ate. The place was exactly as we expected - small and cozy with funky decor (most noticeably the ceramic pigs Matthew A. mentioned in his review). We weren't sure how quiet or busy it would be at this hour on a Saturday night, but more customers arrived as we sat... singles, couples, small groups and by the time we left, about half the tables were occupied. It was great to find a place open 24 hours, especially on a holiday (Thanksgiving/Columbus Day) weekend.
The menu is quite extensive, with variations on each item. We were tempted by poutine all dressed (pepperoni, mushroom, onions and peppers - the poutine equivalent of a steak bomb sub) as well as many other items, but decided to start simple and try more complex options another time, so we went with the large plate with mushrooms added. The desserts also looked good, though we were quite full after splitting the large poutine and had to pass. The poutine was layered perfectly with gooey cheese throughout and plenty of gravy and mushrooms for each bite.
Le Resto Du Village is exactly what a 24 hour diner should be - delicious, generous inexpensive portions, funky atmosphere, friendly and efficient staff and welcoming.

Really, this review is pretty much just for the poutine. I was in Montreal for a week and did a challenge to eat the best poutine in town.
This was right up there.
I thought the gravy was good, not quite great, but they had everythign properly melty and the service was really good. Also, it was the only place open at 4am around there that served it!
The prices are fantastic, nearly amazing, actually. I actually had to look at the price and say 'did they forget something?' to myself. I love when that happen!

Poutine = aces. Thanks for rec, Yelpers! I wouldn't call the location of this place the "heart" of Le Village, more like its south side, but it was cozy, cheap and cheery. Plus, really, the poutine was delicious.
