Chez Ma Tante

"Chez Ma Tante, established by Marguerite Strunga, serves steam-cooked franks and poutine with flavorful brown gravy, thick-cut fries, and large curds. Known for its neon signage and Quebec roadside cantine vibes, it offers a loyal local fan base. The 'Italian-style' poutine version with Bolognese-like meat sauce is also popular." - ByValerie Silva

"Among the city’s older poutine purveyors, Ahuntsic’s Chez Ma Tante is as reliable as they come (read: they do not skimp on the curds). Eat yours — with the requisite order of two steamés (that’s a steamed hot dog, for our non-locals)— on the picnic tables outside, or take them to go after ordering at the drive-through." - Erinn Blicher, Eater Staff

"Still on Fleury Street, but technically beyond the eastern edge of the neighbourhood, in Montreal North, lies this no-nonsense, old-school casse-croûte, with a menu composed of hot dogs, fries, and poutine. They are all delicious, but its steamés (steamed hot dogs) are legendary. Open until 4 a.m. daily and with a drive-through, it’s popular among East End residents looking for a quick, always-satisfying bite." - Eater Staff

"This Ahuntsic casse-croûte’s been in the business of selling steamés for so long that their business dates back to a time when they operated a horse-drawn carriage. Ask most locals, and they’ll tell you that these dogs are well worth the trip to the north side of town." - JP Karwacki
