Le Gras Dur au (Le Central) in Montreal

It was super mega long for poutine and a burger! It s not written what s going to be in the burgers. And I dont like mustard , I would have liked to know that they were going to put mustard in my burger. Disappointed As for the spicy poutine, it wasn t spicy at all! Disappointed. The fries are really good.

To begin with, I dreamed of a food truck at my wedding. We communicated by email for months and we also met Annie and I for a tasting, everything went well in that regard, what an incredible human being her husband is too. The food truck arrived on time everything was beautiful When serving the appetizers it was good and hot. As for the not very courteous service, the employees persisted in not serving a certain product even if it appeared on the menu in fact on the menu of my bill... I asked for lactose-free poutine cheese (me, the bride) because I was told that it was possible because it was what was previously served (I was told that there was no more from the supplier and I didnt ask for it). I didnt even inform him, the cook offered me another cheese, parmesan, clearly its not the same thing, so I told him that I didnt want it after all...) I have worked in customer service for over 10 years Im not the type to make comments but I judge that for the amount charged for fees and service tips and travel, I didnt expect a simple excuse like my employees we find the gang too much at the party or whatever customer service does this by smiling cold not cold and hot world or not. Its a reception. Recognition and enough openness to welcome bad comments and use them to do better. I still wish you good success.

Edit - To respond to the owner: in this case if the fries were not cooked the day before as you seem to say, offer customer service worthy of the name rather than telling me that it is impossible ;) there is Tons of possibilities to change a customers mind. Explaining to him that he is wrong will not change his point of view. First comment: Fries cooked the day before!

So some countries call chicken sandwiches chicken burgers . I thought they meant the same thing with the smoked meat sandwich. It turns out it was a hamburger topped with smoked meat. It was ok, just not what I expected, especially at the price point (priced as much as a smoked meat sandwich).

Beer served quickly and very cold!

The portions were ridiculous! 11$ for a brisket sandwich and I m generous if I had 50g of meat.

Food might be good, but they closed early. Website says they close at 8, google says 9, tried to order at 7:30 and the guy said they were closed

$5.75 for extra sauce???

OK but nothing more The burger is OK but not great. The meat is average, not quality, superior. The poutine is Ok, nothing more

I am gonna be honest here , its a bad burger. First off its frozen patties ,not fresh. Second they grill them then put them in a metal canister on the grill waiting to be served , so when you order , its not fresh but its been already cooked and sitting in that canister. Cheese is basically processed, wasnt even melted when we received the burger. Fries are okay Do yourself a a favor and go to Chez Simon in timeout market 8 min walk from there , cheaper and much better burger

Good burger and fries. Friendly service

Food Corect takes cash

Several different types of poutines. Be careful, the portions are very generous!

Zero service

Disgusting food. Everything tasted old and soggy. Will never come back.

When I ate there, the fries in my poutine were lukewarm even though I had specifically asked for them to be hot.

Very disappointing experience. For poutine; the fries and sauce were good but the cheese was not fresh and crumbling. The burger was seriously lacking in flavor, the tomatoes tasted absolutely nothing and I had a 1cm slab of cream cheese. It was a bit disgusting. The coleslaw tasted nothing apart from the cream either and I had to remind the person serving us that I had ordered (and paid for) it. My girlfriends hamburger was also really disappointing. You cant taste bacon, guacamole or cheddar cheese, you mainly taste bread, mayo and salt.

We ate a smoke meat poutine. There was an onion crumble on top with freshly chopped green onions. It was excellent. I recommend!

Great vegetarian poutine. I didnt have too many expectations, but it pleasantly surprised me. One of the good poutines of montreal.

Worst poutine EVER!! Fries limp and barely cooked, the cheese was fresh but 6 days before I placed my order and the sauce tasted weird... And all this for a tiny portion that cost me $15 First and last time!!

Amazing burger, and best poutine!

A poutine with too little sauce and undercooked fries that tasted like raw potatoes

Smoked meat poutine and burger were both great. Very friendly staff as well.

Really disappointed with the food. We had two burgers which were not particularly tasty and the coleslaw was not edible

Very good fries. Poutine ok but nothing extraordinary. On the other hand, the burgers seem really banal and industrial, a little disappointed for the privileged price, the other small stands in the central location are much better.

Decent burger and fries in my favourite market style food court in Montreal. Solid choice among many good options at Le Central.

Food looks amazing, but after waiting around 5 minutes at the counter and no one appeared to take my order, I had to give up. Maybe one day I ll have the chance to try. Or maybe not.

Dry burger, very little meat... the poutine was bland and all with a salty addition. I do not recommend

The poutine, what can I say other than dry fries, cheese without taste or texture and the generic sauce without body and green onion on top!. If its a real poutine youre looking for, then dont waste your time here... But a good little staff.

Unfortunately unfortunately unfortunately . If a restaurant is called Gras Dur, what can we expect from their burgers? Thats it.

Got a regular poutine , it came cold with frozen cheese curds. I won t go back.

The burgers are excellent. The poutine is very good, the fries are hot, not too crispy, the sauce is tasty, nothing to do with traditional brown sauces which are not edible. Fast service, for the quality of the food, I absolutely recommend it!!!

Burger Wellington on the big mark. Thank you very much boys.

Issam is a really great chef and his poutine is very good. I really enjoyed the experience, both culinary, because they are quality products (and you can taste it) and also on a social level, I had a great time. I think it deserves more visibility.

In 3 months, this is the only really good poutine Ive eaten

Very good Poutine!!! Not the best I had but easily in top 5. I ordered the traditional to test the taste without any extra meat etc and their sauce has a unique flavour that would make me come back for more. Also the amount of cheese in the poutine is quite respectable.

Got kicked out when I was 11 for eating a chicken wing from my friend s all you can eat chicken wing bowl. I d give it 0 stars if I could.

Wow by far the best Poutine ever I had the Tousqui (tout ce qu il y a) : fries, gravy, curds, saucisse, chicken, scallions. So Yummy I was craving a great poutine long time a go. Thanks a lot LE GRAS DUR au (Le Central) Montreal for the delicious Poutine, the warm welcome and excellent service. Highly recommended

Poutin was delicious 100% but the hamburger not.

I tried multiple smoke meat poutine over the years and this one was the best I had so far. The meat was meaty and moist, the sauce was delicious and most importantly it didnt feel greasy. I loved the addition on mustard and pickles. It shows that they thought about the dish and tried to counter the usual greasiness a poutine would give especially with the addition of the smoke meat. Delicious! I recommend it.

If poutine is what youre after, this place gives you a great variety of choices. We got a cheeseburger poutine and a sausage/onion/fried chicken poutine. Both are a very different experience than your average poutine. Its in the middle of a food court so theres loads of choices for anyone in your party who doesnt want poutine as well.

Rarely seen a poutine so dry and expensive for the size

I had a so-called crispy chicken Poutine. In the end its just a piece of breaded chicken breast heated and placed on top. The fries are particularly dry, so much so that they cut the inside of your mouth. Additionally, the lack of a correct volume of sauce does not help the cause. The price was also way too high for what we got on the plate, $26 with tips and taxes for so little on the plate is too expensive. Unfortunately disappointing!

Pretty nice cheeseburger poutine!

Best smoke meat poutine in Mtl

I really enjoyed my burger!

Thank you for the beautiful service and the good meal I would go back there very soon for poutine

Amazing restaurant, amazing food, amazing customer service! 10/10

I dont understand the good reviews about this restaurant. 20 minutes of waiting for a burger and dry poutine thats pretty standard if it costs $10 but for $20? HAHAHA no. I could have had a good burger at The Keg and great service for $20. For a food court? To avoid !!! Bonus: the cashier is the same person who will put your toppings for the burger. So, imagine when he touches your salad and tomato with his hands before and after touching the cash.

The cheeseburger itself was pretty good. The meat was well cooked, but had little seasoning, condiments are needed to give it flavor. For $11, its a good burger. The side dish of poutine, meanwhile, was miserable. A tiny portion of fries for $7, barely a handful. For this amount, I would have expected triple the portion received. The poutine sauce was to my taste and the amount of cheese too, but without the fries, its not poutine.

We come from France and we have eaten several poutines in Quebec and the best ones come from this restaurant! Im vegetarian so I had the vegetarian poutine. It is delicious with its vegetables! The cheese was tasty! My friend had the bacon poutine and he also enjoyed it! I recommend this place! And we see that the two guys who run this restaurant love what they do! Well done and thank you!

$32 for a large poutine and a chicken burger with a soft drink at the food truck in ahunstic . Anything for a dry bun burger with no sauce.

Got I love this place went almost everyday when I came to visit the city

This place is awesome. Best burgers and poutine by far.

Very pleasant air conditioning. I ate yesterday and the clerk at the cash register was super explicit about the menu and was able to answer all my questions.

A delight!!! They came for a little party at work and it was excellent!!!

Its okay. Lots of people raving in the reviews about their poutine but Id say its just average. Not amazing but not bad

The vegetarian poutine toppings are amazing even better than la banquise but the fries are a bit undone and seem to be bland from inside if they improve that then it will be the best poutine in Montreal at least for me. Must try overall.

This has got to be the best poutine I have ever tasted. I keep ordering the smoked meat poutine over and over and I am just so impressed by how good it consistently is. Le Gras Dur au seriously is underrated, and I would recommend anyone in Montréal to visit this place! As an added recommendation, try the deep-fried maple leaf - they re like fried Oreos, but the maple version, and they are SO good! I can t wait to go back and get more of the smoked meat poutine!

I got a cheeseburger with toppings (to choose from). The toppings were well made, but the patty was small and dry (overcooked). Fries are too small of a portion and came without salt (not a problem, but I would like a heads up). Maybe my expectations were too high, but quality-wise the burger was at the A&W level (and a bit pricey for that).

Very bad burgers, the buns were fridge cold and the toppings were tasteless, the poutine was pretty mediocre too. Never again for me.

Very overrated, smoke meat not very tasty, the sauce bland, the cheese not fresh, on the other hand the fries were top notch. Improve everything!!! In addition, you are pleasant to serve.

January 21, 2021 7:00 p.m. I had it delivered to my house but my hamburger was more than cold, the bun was as if it came out of the bag in the fridge (cold, dry..). I really felt like I was eating a hamburger cooked in the fridge (maybe its a new dish). I am really disappointed and given that we cannot eat indoors (pandemic) to have a hot meal, this will be the first and last time. Additionally, the poutine was in the same condition. As for eating the $40 microwave... I threw it all away. I have to mention that on delivery there may be a problem with the delivery person but oh well. After my review, the owner responded shortly after and I spoke to her on the phone. This tells me that this person considers his customers and I thank him for that. Thank you and have a nice day

Its the middle of curfew, me and my boyfriend looked on Ubereat for discounts and offers and we came across this wonderful restaurant, we both ordered a large pulled pork poutine and seriously, I have nothing to say it was delicious and hot on arrival the portion of pork was very generous and the taste was very good I could have added more sauce but thats me, Plus we received a small dessert with the order as a thank you I loved it we will clearly encourage this restaurant more often and hoping to be able to eat there in the dining room once this covid is over :D thank you for this delicious meal

Fantastic! We ordered there, the order arrived 15 minutes earlier than expected still piping hot! The food is great, the price is reasonable, and they even took the time to leave us a little thank you gift for the support. We will definitely recommend there soon

Poutine land sea mioummm!

We got a pulled pork poutine and a club sandwich, both were excellent!!! Service was fast and friendly, they even gave us a free little desert:) 5/5 highly recommend!

Best vegan poutine Ive eaten, really comparable to the traditional one, although a little expensive! The customer service is excellent, I receive little gifts delivered!

The pulled pork poutine was delicious :)

The poutine would have been better with more sauce. :( There was barely any sauce inside.

Ordered the cheese burger with poutine via Uber eats from Gras Dur. Very good burger with fresh beef and toppings, good bun. For sure one of the better burgers you can get out there. The poutine was exactly what a poutine should be. Good gravy that isnt too overwhelming or salty, fresh cheese curds and very good greasy fries. Only one issue with the poutine, it had quite a few of those smaller almost-burnt fries mixed in, would be 5/5 if not for this.

The Arbor Volkswagen team thanks you for your extraordinary service!

I have rarely seen a poutine so GENEROUSLY topped with cheese curds. Wow! I will definitely come back.

Food was bussin. On god, on god. Sheeeeeesh

disastrous experience. the cashier is very unpleasant, the cooks have masks under their noses. no fork with the salad!!!!. no glasses of water even though requested. luckily the burgers were good

Loved the poutine with lobster and shrimps; great service too!

I had a lobster poutine. They had put a ton of sriracha on top and it got so spicy I could not even eat half of it. I had tried it when they first opened and it was super good but today I was super sad that half of my poutine had to go to waste because it was impossible to eat. I wish they could ask if people want it spicy or not or put a detailed description so we know to ask for it without spicy sauce.

Order error pass all customers before redoing my order very long as service

I went there with visiting family from overseas on a Saturday evening. The kitchen seemed overwhelmed, the staff a little helpless. The menu is interesting and since I had been to their old restaurant in Villeray a few times, I was expecting something good. We waited more than 30 minutes at the counter to receive dishes in which the fries were so hard that they were resistant to our forks. Extremely unfortunate because 2 of the 3 maple donuts were succulent, but the other was greasy, limp and not recently cooked. Really expensive for such poor execution. Very disappointed, the Fat Dur at his softest.

Very good poutine, I will come back

I have to go back and see him to be sure.

Best fries and poutine I have had in Montreal!!! You can taste the freshness of their products.

An incredible culinary experience!!! Stép ane and Annie are REAL enthusiasts and their food is incredible. If youve never tasted hard fat, get on the metro, get on your bike, jump in your car, take a taxi, an Uber, steal a patrol car, but do whatever it takes to get there. Well, its in a hurry. (here I dont encourage stealing a car but while youre stealing one, steal a police one so youll arrive in style at the TOUGH FAT.

Very nice and warm, the poutine was great!

Terrible service! The food wasnt as bad but they forgot about my order and didnt even apologize. Wont be coming back again

The waiter gave me change. I had to pick it up from the ground

A little dinner last night, the burger is one of the best Ive ever eaten (with smoked meat). As for the poutine, extremely disappointed, it had a little sweet taste, the cheese was not fresh that day (not much cheese).

Really disappointed with my experience in Iles-de-Boucherville for the festive evening with the Schnitzel truck. Tasteless sandwich, ordinary fries, poutine that my daughter barely tasted (in fact very average), simple menu... me who couldnt wait to taste their German flavored dish....

Delivery: ordered the lobster/shrimp and pulled pork poutines. Neither were good. Fries were soggy not crispy. Barely any sauce for the lobster one. Pulled pork was dry.

Excellent service. Very ordinary food.

Very, but then very bad. The burgers are mediocre and the poutines are tasteless, on the same level as Valentine. The worst of all is still the lobster poutine which smells like vomit.

Good sized poutine. Large one is a meal on its own. The smoked meat was really tender and juicy. The deep fried cookies were all saugy in the center (not sure if it was intended). The dough was nice and fresh and cripsy.

Excellent service, amazing value, and tasty Québécois food. Theyre not too far from my place, which is not great for my weight maintenance but boy oh boy I know where Im going to get my comfort food from this winter.

Passable food, nothing more. The ingredients are not quality.

loved it, it was delicious ! Very nice and good comfort food

The brunch buffet is very good and varied and above all of good quality.

$14 for a small poutine, soft white fries, a sauce that tastes like nothing and 4 pieces of cheese....Really anything.

I was excited to try a new burger place. For me, The best Fast Food burger out there is Five Guys (just my opinion). Went there with wife and daughter, keep in mind I don t mind paying above average prices for fresh and flavorful food on the go. I ordered 2 cheese burgers, one small fry, one large poutine to share amongst everyone, one coleslaw and 2 glasses of tap water. Before you know it, with tip I was at $48.00. Burgers were not juicy or even warm. The condiments were so cold they cooled the entire burger to room temp. Sadly, best part was the bun. Fries were good but I received all the burnt ends of the batch and had little to no fries longer than 2 inches, which meant they are difficult to eat with your hands and too burnt/hard to pick up with the flimsy plastic fork provided. They also charged me $1.00 for a small container of spicy mayonnaise (not spicy). Coleslaw was traditional and but very oily and lacked punch or any flavor for that matter. All in all, we were supremely dissatisfied. I heard they had only been open for a couple of weeks but in my experience they haven t hit the ground running. In fact the parachute never deployed.

Great place, very nice staff, Sylvain is super friendly!

Nice neighborhood restaurant.

This is my go-to place for good quality comfort food. Ive never eaten in the restaurant but the take-out has always been fantastic. I can highly recommend Le DAS Burger and the Cheeseburger Poutine.

Friendly and delicious place for poutine

Best poutine in Montreal. Nothing less.

With Easter coming, it reminds me of my experience at Gras Dur the year before. My family and I went to this restaurant for brunch. The food was good, the service too. However, the next day early in the evening, I started to feel excruciatingly ill. During the entire week that followed, I suffered from nausea, vomiting, fever spikes and diarrhea. Just like my 2 uncles, my aunt, my parents and my brother. In short, everyone who ate Fat Dur gravlax got so sick that they had to miss work/school. My little brother even had to postpone one of his university exams until the summer. Since we all started getting sick at the same time, the doctor I saw confirmed that it could only be food poisoning. Honestly, Ive never been so sick in my life, if it was my grandmother who ate gravlax, she could have passed it. The owners never called to apologize, even though they were made aware of the situation that had happened to my family and me. In short, a big lack of professionalism. I now gag every time I pass the orange food truck or pass by Gras Dur. I advise you to avoid this restaurant if you want to stay healthy.

The brunches are just gargantuan! Next step, go there for their tartares and poutines :D...

Awesome! Try the bacon-wrapped cheeseburger!

Great Sunday brunch! we will definitely come back this summer :)

Had the duck poutine with duck slices and foie gras. Wasnt sure how it would turn out but it was pretty good! The meals have original mix of ingredients but it always turn out very well. The meals are a bit heavy on the stomach but worth it.

Exotic fast food. Unpublished.

Buffet brunch was a choice

Amazing from start to finish, cant wait to try their food truck.

Amazing brunch!

Very good

Insane. Heart attack guaranteed. ;)

Award winning poutines from poutine week. Cheeseburger poutine, enough said.

Excellent... And very good service Thank you

Very nice place, very good food

Today we went for brunch, everything was dry, overcooked and very salty, so different from the food trucks,,, very disappointed,,, :(

They keep adding new things on their menu and it is mostly surprisingly amazing!

A bit expensive for what I ate...

Water is awesome as well

Very good service, nice place. The cheese in poutines is very ordinary, it ruins everything. Putin to avoid

Excellent non touristy poutine restaurant. They make everything fresh so theres quite a wait if youre hungry. Cute diner and wood cabin decor. Welcoming and friendly staff. Free popcorn. New tartar on the menu was much appreciated by my friends. The poutine sauce was different, but delicious. Several intriguing vegetarian and vegan options (like eggplant schnitzel) I wouldve tried had I not been craving poutine. Will definitely be back to taste the rest of the menu.

Picked up poutines today for lunch. Brought them home, fries are completely raw. Flavour on the sauce is good but the entire dish is ruined due to the raw fries. Unimpressed...

Excellent brunch, warm atmosphere!

Wednesday is two for one burgers , we took two burgers just for the waiter (quite curt) to tell us that these burgers are not part of the special and we should have asked for it. The fries were raw inside and came on the side only. The burgers were quite small and lacked flavor. The positive thing is the beer and wine are not very expensive.

Super Poutine

Best Restaurant to eat poutine or even a good burger

Best Poutine Ive ever eaten. Go try it, you wont regret it

Top top top

Pig and sooo good

Awesome place, great food , great service, family atmosphere and operated by wonderful people, I highly recommend it

Schnitzel Truck! Amazing sandwich! Really nice people! To try!

Super fast and courteous service. I enjoyed their poutine at the touski place to visit you will not be disappointed! As good as food trucks

amazing food amazing prices...worth going to mtl just for this

Excellent brunch spot for post park run Saturday breakfast. Would come back. Highly recommended!

From Argentina: Burgers that were too small, a little tasteless, they lacked flavor. They served us raw potatoes, they did not come in the combo. So you have to buy them separately. The good thing to note is that the wine was not expensive.

Excellent place for brunch. Very good food and homemade in most cases. Highly recommended!!

Menu for all tastes. Affordable prices, calm atmosphere depending on the name of the day

Disgusting place do not spend your money here chef dominique should be fired completely disrespectful do not spend your money here, they probably pay people to write good reviews

Super good restaurant, passionate owner, its beautiful to see. To encourage, try, taste, return and try again. The FDS brunch is also worth the detour!

I loved! I took the Poutine Tousqui WOW it was delicious really as appetizing as the photo on the menu. We had very good, friendly service.

Nice place, good food, nice welcome and good price

What can I say... Uninteresting service. Poor description of brunch options causing overcharges. Buffet with nuts and peanuts in the open air, therefore high risk of contamination for those concerned. Refusal to make a separate plate to compensate for this last fact, despite a cost of more than $25 per person for a simple lunch buffet with regular coffee. Also... For those who are thinking about the layout of the buffet... cheese plates exposed in front of the windows in the sun... Not very smart. In short, all this in addition to a smell of humidity, I cant imagine the potential for mold hidden under poorly made renovations. I hope that time will make me forget this establishment.

Pure pleasure. Burgers and poutines as original as they are crazy and decadent. A real experience. Wow.

Weird food truck very good but very disappointed on site

Very friendly service, food was delicious, and venue wasnt difficult to get to or come from. Was there for Kims birthday and baby brunch on Sunday.

Good brunch...

We went there on a Wednesday to try their very special burgers, and surprise! Wednesday burger is 2 for 1 :-). Fortunately, its a little expensive, $9, although we really liked what we tried. We also went there for the brunch buffet, available on weekends. the price of $25 is quite high. On the other hand, the buffet is very varied and of fairly good quality. Small downsides, the food was cold. When we went from the dining room to the buffet, we could hear 2 radios which was a little unpleasant even if the musical choices were good :-P Otherwise, I recommend the place! Good food, classic or reinvented, it s whatever you want!

Simple menu, mainly poutine/hamburger, but with a twist that makes this unique restaurant a little gem to go there from time to time. What is out of the ordinary is also the decor of an old garage and old-fashioned barn. Capacity of approximately 50 seats. For groups, take the time to call to see availability; it can fill up quickly, especially in the summer. Good food.

Such a cozy place for a different taste!

The best burgers in town to date! Warm and friendly employees I like this place especially for the 2 for 1 burgers on Wednesdays!!!

Way to expensive for a simple breakfast... everything is fryed and the fruits looked like left overs ... not much choice for 25$ ... better breakfast out there ... dont get caught... you will be very very very disappointed...

Everything is delicious, from burgers to poutine, tartare to unlimited brunch. We are never disappointed. Their menu has won several awards with good reason! The service is excellent and the staff are courteous and smiling. The only negative point is that, like any poutine and burger place, its not a place to go if youre watching your figure ;) but even that, a place of choice for your cheat day!

They have a new location in the Rockland food court. Lovely place and the poutine was delicious. Ive been hearing about their food truck for a long time. On the other hand, the cooking is really not pleasant. A group of some Arab women of a certain age had a cute encounter and then leaving (the food court) they sang (max 30 seconds). From what I understood, they hadnt seen each other for a long time. In short, the cook started to grumble very loudly then look askance at them before saying something in a thick Quebecois accent then laughing in their face. When they left, he applauded. His attitude disgusted me. But hey, the CAQ is elected, everything is permitted.

Fantastic! Really delicious I recommend to everyone! Hurry!

Very good, good service to return again thank you

Tasty well worth the price!

The poutine with the good old sauce tried and good service
