Chez Monique in La Prairie

What can I say, a fairly original and old fashion little snack, service and cleanliness, nothing to complain about, but as poutine lovers, the sauce is perfect, soso cheese, decent fries, and the hot dog was good, just outside tables, I still have to try the rest of the menu!!!

The best potatoes

For the first time the hotdog bun was not steamed enough so a little hard

Thank you Kafy the owner for taking the time to come and chat with us. Your poutine is the best

Very good idea place for breakfast

Delicious

Great welcome from the people there I had an extra cheese poutine ($4 more) Unfortunately the cheese curds did not make sqwouik sqwouik.

very good, inexpensive, very friendly staff! we will definitely go back!

First and last time. Ask for an all dressed hot pepper hamburger with no onion; no hot peppers and being told we dont have that and no bacon... and I get lots of onion no relish... ok maybe the mistake is human.. I want a lime slush they dont have the flavor, ok thats ok.. but make me answer you should drink water its better for you (for dirty tongues I weigh 120lbs ) The food was lukewarm and unsatisfactory. It s a big no for my family, sorry.

Delicious fries!

Always good Chez Monique!!! I stay with my burger and fry it in the brown bag and sauced in ketchup!!!

Dostis gang criss!!! Thursday August 22 at 5pm close I drive 45 minutes and you are closed!!!!!! And on your website you say open on your restaurant it says open but you are closed woooooooowwwww

Very good hot dog, good poutine sauce, excellent fries but the cheese cut into strips takes away the joy of the poutine, no sqick sqick. Damage.

Excellent poutine!

I was looking for a place around St Philippe to eat a hot dog with poutine, sitting outside...I found one...Chez Monique. Varied menu, the service is super fast, and my lunch really good. Prices are average. There are several picnic tables with umbrellas to sit and eat. The tables were clean when I arrived. As for parking, you have to park on the street. I have not seen any contraindications in the neighboring street. Satisfied with this discovery. Kid-friendliness: Its on a main street. Wheelchair accessibility: Yes because the business is accessible through a window for orders. Eat at the picnic table...maybe.

Poutine generous in cheese and sauce, the young man who served us was very helpful, we will come back

The food is more than it was. fried full of oil hamburger hard bread nothing wow poutine not good very disappointed unfortunately its over for me

Excellent hot dog and chicken hamburger. What can we say about poutine brown sauce with too strong a taste and drowned in sauce. Burnt onion rings. We asked for honey, $1.15 for a container of maybe a half ounce. Ridiculous after paying $33 plus $6 tip we were a little offended. We will have tried it!

Very good restaurant Very good employee and his owner is very nice

Terribly long for hotdogs and pogos. Two hotdogs, two pogos, a fries ordered at 6:21 p.m. received at 6:51 p.m., exactly 30 minutes before the order was ready. My last visit

Incredible service The good humor and energy of the employees is really great Well done

Great service with a smile from the employees welcoming place, excellent quality of food

HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. Yesterday, two average poutines, flooded with sticky sauce, the fries small brownish and soft, probably overcooked in old oil, and the cheese in very small pieces, forget the squish squish. Overrated reputation, sorry but 3 out of 10.

New review given the new owners (2023). Finally, Chez Monique is adequately restored! Growing up nearby, Chez Monique has always had a special place in my heart (good old $3 special). The new team knew how to modernize the canteen without losing too much of its original identity. Obviously, prices have gone up like everywhere else, but the quality and service are impeccable. If, like me, you were disappointed with the services offered by the last owners, Chez Monique and its new team are worth trying again! Edit 2024: The filler is back!

We took 3 trios, two numbers 6 and one number 8. Points +: the fries are very good Points -: the hamburger steak is way overcooked and the taste is not great as a result. Next time we will try the hot dogs and chicken hamburger.

Great discovery, however the poutine sauce is really thick.

Friendly staff! Im not usually a fan of brown sauce but I really liked it this time. The fried potatoes are excellent. I recommend the mouth hole, very fatty but full of flavor.

Poutine a little expensive but delicious! There was lots of cheese and lots of sauce. Impeccable service as a bonus.

One of the very good canteens on the South Shore

The fries are really good, the cheese too but the quantity leaves something to be desired because the brown sauce is a big no.

Super good

I was there on July 20, the staff is super nice and it was a great first experience :) a good snack

Good moves: Fries, coleslaw on hot dogs, hamburgers, very good portions, friendly and pleasant service, clean place. To improve: More sauce in poutine Vegetarian options

Nothing by amazing!! Service and food! There isn t a thing I do not enjoy in the menu.

Good, nice, fast, cheap

I wanted to stop for a long time, it happened and I wasnt disappointed. A generous poutine, nice fries and excellent cheese. A more brown sauce type sauce which is very good, very different, a very good poutine. It fits into the good poutine to revisit without necessarily taking a detour to get there.

Pour avoir entendu parlé de cette place comme étant extraordinaire mes attentes étaient hautes mais jai été déçu. La nourriture était juste correcte ... le service a été long 45 min entre mon arrivé sur place avec 5 personnes dans la file dattente et le moment où je reçois ma nourriture et lambiance un peu moche... mais il faut tenir compte que cest un casse-croute.

Good fried potato shack style restaurant. Poutine style belle provincial does the job!

Catastrophic service since the new administration. 1 hour wait. Finished for us. June 16, 2024

A fresh and tasty hot dog for $2.31 Very good service Pleasant atmosphere

It s delicious, especially the Spécialité bouche trou! Highly recommended! The weather is nice, its very leisurely to sit outside and eat.

Very good poutine

Waiting 30 or more for a fries is ordinary....always a wait, even when there arent many people...

Fast courteous good food.

Good service

Its worth the wait... You have to try mouthhole!!!

No cheese in poutine. I called to mention the situation. I was told dsl it was a new person who made the poutine and it was impossible to correct their mistake....

I dont recommend

Very good service. But poutine 1/10. Fries undercooked and too much at the same time. like exterior overcooked interior not enough, sauce with potatoes. Not enough cheese especially for $22 tip included.. Alpha Longueuil remains unbeatable...

A 30 minute wait for 2 hotdogs. Unacceptable

An institution, my first visit since the new administration, same taste which has proven itself since 1945, excellent service!

Fast and courteous service at normal prices

I ordered a large poutine and 2 hotdogs and once arrived the poutine had very little cheese very very very little cheese. The cheese was chopped to try to look like there was cheese in it. In reality it was a fry with sauce. I called the restaurant to tell them and the employee who answered said sorry, it s a new guy who made your poutine okkkkk!!!! I paid $20 for a fries with sauce. Instead of saying sorry I can offer you another poutine next time no Im sorry I cant do anything. Anyway, nothing special about poutine, it tastes exactly like the beautiful province. Just to tell you that I have a restaurant and its unacceptable to tell a customer I cant do anything its sad you lost a customer first and last time

Ordered a cheeseburger combo, food was great with nice service and great portions.

Excellent service, the staff were very welcoming and they made sure we were happy with the service at several points and delivered us a delicious meal!

A nice big greasy potato.

10/10 best chicken burger I have ever had! Juicy non-artificial chicken with amazing barbecue taste recommend it! Sensational Experience I wasnt expecting much but this chicken burger was really delicious. This is the first time Ive reviewed a restaurant and you know, the food has to be delicious for me to be motivated!

Fries were raw inside, mushy outside, everything was mixed up in the bag.

First visit... Putin overhyped. Very disappointed. Not as much cheese as I expected, too many sauces..

Particularly overrated. I had the poutine. The fries were soggy because there was too much sauce, which wasnt particularly good. Both sets had a burnt/charred taste. The amount of cheese was ordinary at best. The portion for a large one was equivalent to an average elsewhere.

Super good poutine. The secret is in the assembly (cheese, sauce, fries, sauce, fries, cheese, sauce!) The stopper, at first its weird, you feel like you dont like it... But after 4 mouthfuls, you swallow it whole haha

Too bad everyone says its the best but hey, the cheese probably comes from the same supplier as Macdonalds,

Super nice employees. Meal received very quickly.

Fast and courteous service. The brisket was good but the cheese melted too quickly.

I came to try the poutine: meh, cheese that doesnt squick, decent sauce, a little thick, and decent fries. On the other hand, the coleslaw for the hot dogs is really good.

Poutine insane!!!!!!!

Impeccable service very good

Good poutine, but small for the price. Excellent service.

GREAT PLACE! Amazing service great poutine, great Bouche-trou and Great people. Generous sizes and great care while making the food. They add sauce on the bottom layer and a lot at the top for each of them and for this I have to say they are the greatest!

Amazing food! The poutine is perfect, the gravy tastes hearty and does not lack on flavour at all, the cheese is authentic poutine cheese and the fries taste fresh home made. Generous amounts of everything too. Staff is is also extremely friendly!!

Best poutine on the south shore and possibly the best in Quebec, cheese in good sauce, incredible fries, well cooked and crispy and their kind of mouth-watering flavorful.

1 hour receiving 1 poutine and 3 hot dogs, they served VIP customers before all the people who had been waiting for their order for more than 30 minutes

Super good poutine

It reminds me of when I was little, coming back from grandmas and dad decided to stop by a little restaurant on the side of the road. Your fries taste the same as those at the little restaurant.

For over 30 years, always a meeting

Love this place! Owners make great food, the hotdogs and poutine is . Superbe ambiance

Very clean place, fast service and very well appointed. Fries unfortunately too greasy. Parking: Lots of table and umbrella

The best fries on Boulevard Taschereau! Excellent poutine too! Courteous and fast service! A must when youre in the area!

If you want fast food. Dont go to Harveys or McDonalds. Come here Food

New owner. We can see the difference. It has improved a lot and Monique has actually calmed down with prices lol. It s made cheaper, homemade sauce. Well done!

Always good vybes and good food. Bravo Monique!

Wait 1 hour for 4 hot dogs 2 poutines 30 Min at checkout 30 Minutes to receive my order Criss, it s not fine dining that I ordered, it s fast food They pass on VIP customers before being completely ridiculous. Plus error in my order ketchup mustard in my hot dogs, even no ketchup... painful. The icing on the cake: 1 in 2 employees do not speak French, including the person who calls customers for their orders... yet a very Quebecois clientele About the Price: expensive for very average quality, its still fries, burgers and hot dogs... ultimately I wont recommend this place. I find that it even increases like that because of inflation, its a real joke. Go see the Neighbor, cheaper and same quality.

First time and last, ordinary fries and very expensive for the quantity ask for an average of $6

always a queue

Good portions for family poutines. Very good Italian poutine and very good food in general.

Nice snack. Extra points for the illuminated sign outside. Monique calls herself the queen of fries, I personally found that the fries tasted like grilled toast, this was not the highlight of my experience.

I love the place to share with your children and friends. There is a nostalgic touch in this cantina that I love. Visit it.

Im on a run...Need to have a bite to eat Quickly. I eat at Moniques. Good homemade hamburger and DELICIOUS fries although I dont eat that every day! I have been told that the poutines are very good for poutine lovers. Outdoor tables with parasols. PLUS I CAN TAKE MY DOG. A PLUS FOR ME IN THE SUMMER! COURTESY AND FAST SERVICE. EVERYTHING SERVED HOT AND NOT WARM!! Too hungry forget photos! Next time!

Great place for fast food fries were good !

Very happy that it s as good as it used to be!

Super good food I ve been going there since I was little

The manager took into account my taste for chicken poutine which is not on the menu. He suggested I add chicken which he cooked on the stove. Great service Great taste too. Very welcoming staff.

excellent poutine

Absolutely wonderful! The staff and owner were incredibly friendly, helpful, and hospitable - the owner even wrote down recommendations for things to do in the area. The food was fresh, hot, inexpensive and tasty - it s made daily and ingredients are locally sourced. Try the poutine!

First time going back since it was sold Poutine very good the choux hotdog I dont like the service at all should listen more carefully my wife ordered a poutine and a hamburger the guy ordered a hamburger no poutine allor when I went to pick up my order missing a poutine allor no strong we had an argument because of this problem

The service is fantastic. The fries are excellent. The hot dogs are really good, especially all dressed with cabbage!

Very delicious food and friendly atmosphere.

Ive lived in the area for several years and I went to eat there for the first time 2 weeks ago and wanted to go back the following week. Simple, but so good. I recommend this little snack.

Canteen number 1 on the south shore!!!!

I ADORE!! I live 1 minute walk away and its very dangerous!! The food, the price, the staff, the waiting time, the quality: everything is great! My boyfriend and I joke when we get tired and say, Shall we go to Grandma s? Ps: Its closed in winter, we were so sad! Parking: No parking, but the street in front is always free.

The hot dogs are very good, I found the fries excellent, good taste, and above all not overcooked with a nice golden brown. Nice canteen!

The poutine sauce is excellent!!! The fries are good!!!! The employees, very smiling I also believe the owner Only good people :)))) Francis

Great snack. All tourists who would like to discover an authentically Quebec snack must stop by Moniques.

The best poutine around! So tasty and the friendliest owner.

Really good service and great food! 5 stars

Warm welcome excellent service best paterie de laprairie I highly recommend the owners are incredible 10/10

Professional Customer services, Fresh food , i love it

Ive been wanting a good hamburger like this for a long time!!! THANKS!

Beautiful place, always clean. I love poutines.

Wow it was my first time and Wow the poutine is really good first time but not the last

Wow I just discovered this little snack!! And really not disappointed Hot dog and the best POUTINE with real homemade fries! The sauce hummm it s worth the detour thank you very much for your exceptional service

Always perfect! My favourite cantine ever!!

Very well served

In 2 years the family poutine has increased by $5 they take people for pigeons

I ordered a poutine and two hot dogs, it was completely awful!! The poutine didnt have much cheese and the sauce tasted burnt. Also, the sausages were black and the cabbage didnt taste good. I dont suggest this place!

Super good. No indoor tables Take out only

Family poutine which has a very expensive portion, $20 is unbelievable

Excellent poutine, amazing sauce and enough cheese! The hot dogs are also very good. Average price.

Très bonne poutine avec sauce brune goûteuse et fromage frais en bonne quantité. Service impeccable, javais oublié de demander sauce à part à la caisse et jai dû aller voir les cuisiniers pour rectifier, ce qui a été fait avec humeur et courtoisie, ensuite pour différencier les 2 sortes de hot dog, Double cure-dent... Vraiment très satisfait, je recommande!

The price of poutine is too high and the toppings (cheese) are dry

Its been a long time since I lived in The Prairie. It s been over a year since I ve been with Monique! I like to encourage local!!! * lets just say I was a little disappointed... Steamer cold and not even a little hot. Fries always good BUT medium size at average price BUT look closer to small than medium size! so very few fries for $5.50!!!! Dont think about going back again unfortunately!!

Im a big fan of poutine and this is the best Ive eaten. The sauce is brown, thick and tasty, the portions are generous, especially the cheese, the kiosk is nice and the price is reasonable!

First time I order a poutine and it doesnt lack cheese. 10/10 would eat again Kid-friendliness: pleasant and family Wheelchair accessibility: sidewalk with access ramp. Counter directly on the sidewalk

Super good snack! Extraordinary owner, both at checkout and management! A small error occurred during our order and the owner still gave us a duplicate order! The place is very clean and the food is excellent!

One of the best Poutines. Really good sauce and the fries are excellent.

Opened in the 1940s on Taschereau Boulevard by Paul and Georgette Leclerc, named after their daughter Monique, this family snack bar was a La Prairie institution. In 2020, the restaurant was sold to two entrepreneurs specializing in catering and it was completely renovated and modernized. But it was no longer like before for the regulars and the new owners apparently had a somewhat difficult break-in period. However, the criticisms were listened to and the new management adjusted the approach. Today, we can say that it is a very good snack, with prices not really higher than elsewhere for comparable quality. And the newfound traffic proves that the formula works. In short, long life to Chez Monique, and thank you to the new owners for allowing us to keep part of the heritage of La Prairie!

You have to go to Moniques with Jérôme, its an experience!!! With a bonus fries, thank you! It was excellent !

Very good, fair price

I stopped one afternoon just to have a fry. I swear Ill stop again, she was really good.

Excellent service, order error no wow factor

Style of meal like at Grégoire in Ville Mercier... very good.

I am extremely picky when it comes to Putin. And I can say that I was pleasantly surprised I couldn t have done better for myself than them!!!!! I recommend without hesitation and the welcome is warm even the steamed hot dogs are disgusting!!!! Not too soft not too wet just PERFECT THANK YOU TO THE WHOLE TEAM

The poutine at Monique s, worth trying!!!

Very good food and impeccable service thank you

For a quick meal, its excellent and not too expensive, quick service Wheelchair accessibility: Is on the street, no markets to go up

Very good and courteous service

One of the best poutine

Saturday, October 29, Halloween celebration in La Prairie. It says 9 p.m. on Google and the opening hours on the window. 8:15 p.m. we are told that we cannot order because it is closed. Very disappointed
