Chez Mag, La Fine Cantine

The best poutine I’ve ever had! The fries were fresh and crispy, and I tried the smoked meat poutine — absolutely loved it. The location is stunning, set in one of the most beautiful spots on the island. It can get quite busy, but the wait is short, and the view makes it totally worth it. A perfect place to enjoy great food with a great atmosphere!

The best non-traditional poutine in Québec. The lobster was fresh, plentiful, chewy, and just sweet enough. Overtop, the butter-gravy hybrid sauce goes surprisingly well with the lobster, like a more savoury lobster butter with a hint of brine. Lastly, the fries take a backseat but are still well-done as far as texture and taste. Despite the line and blazing sun, Chez Mag is well-worth the short road trip from Quebec City.

Delicious poutine au homard (with lobster)! The portion was perfect for the two of us. Worth the drive!

Great poutine with smoked meat and sausage. The lobster roll was also good. The lobster poutine didn't do it for me but still worth the drive if you're visiting Quebec City.

The lobster Poutine was delicious! Lobster was perfectly cooked to tenderness, the cheese curds were plentiful and the sauce was a perfect match in flavor. Highly recommended!

I had poutine at many places but theirs is the best. There was a crazy line up during lunch hours and after almost 30 minutes we got our poutine which was definitely worth the wait

Admittedly, the first lobster roll I've ever had. From what I experienced and what I hear, it's one of the best ever! Don't blink, you may miss the place. Look for the lineup in front. It's worth the wait and the cost, about $25. Update: August 2023 Chez Mag is still the busiest spot on the island. Same great lobster rolls. Same prices. More tables now, so seating wasn't an issue. There's also a second stand to order from now at the back keeping the lines moving even better. Update: June 2025 New buildings! They now have ice cream! Same prices!

One of the best poutine I ever had (top 3) highly recommended

Chez Mag brings cantines to a whole new level. Our go-to place for Lobster rolls. Their lobster rolls are great and generous. The fries are nice and crunchy the way I like them. Their lobster poutine is also decadent. The first time we went we replaced the fries from our lobster roll with a lobster poutine. It was quite a feast, which was made us wanting to come back again... Definitely worth checking it out when you're in Quebec City or Îles d'Orleans. If you haven't been, your missing out! You'll thank me later ;-)

If you're looking for some great pouting with a view - I'd recommend looking no further

Our first poutine while vacationing in Quebec and it was amazing! I had the classic and my Bostonian husband had the lobster poutine. Both were wonderful!

Supe bonne, ambiance c'est très bien. meilleure nourriture réconfortante de la province

Cute little shack on the Ile d'Orleans. It is a small little shack for takeout along the road with only picnic tables to sit and eat. We ordered the lobster roll which came with fries. It was one of the best lobster rolls that I have had. The lobster pieces were very meaty and the mix of mayo, mustard sauces that they used worked perfectly without overpowering the freshness of the lobster. They make each one fresh so there is a bit of a wait but worth it. A must try.

This place is 4.5/5 - so close to a 5. This is a tiny shack being run by 3 people - two whom are cooking/plating and one lady (who I think is the owner) running the front. There is almost always a line up and for pretty good reason - delicious and affordable food. Service was great. Yes, there was a line but that's because everything is being made fresh on the spot. The lady who took our order was very nice but efficient given the line up. Food takes a little time but as I said, it's because they're making things fresh. Don't be put off when the lady closes the screen door before talking to you because she's trying to get the orders right. Lobster roll with fries was fantastic. The lobster was tasty, comes in a sesame toasted bun with greens and green onion in a mayo sauce. Super tasty! The fries are fresh cut fries - above average but nothing mind-blowing. Lemon mayo is tasty and pairs well with the fries. Had a pretty large amount of lobster but still pretty expensive at $22. I thought it was worth it but others may disagree. The hot dog was a bit of a letdown. It was one of those hot dogs you can buy at the grocery stores - I don't think it was even grilled just heated up? It's definitely not a sausage. The coleslaw was okay, it's the vinegar kind but diced up. Mustard seemed like regular yellow mustard. This was all in a piece of toast (appreciate that it was toasted though). At the price, I guess that's what I should have expected - still kind of a letdown. Lots of picnic benches behind their snack bar for seating. Parking can be hard to find in the immediate area when it's busy, try parking further away or some of the small roads in the area. Overall, this is a great place to stop by to have lunch. Their regular items are probably nothing amazing but are affordable. Their specials are what you should really be trying but just know it will cost you more.

Lobster poutine,calamari and onion rings were amazing. Next time I'll try lobster roll

Ok, so other reviewers just set expectations too high. Perfectly fine lobster roll (not as solid as mane places in Rhode Island). Fries quite nice, burgers solid. Worthy of four stars.

Chez Meg is fantastic. A cute little roadside stand with a sense of humor. The jupete burger was amazing. Well cooked, a thin but of crispy fried cheese and fried onions on top. The bun was pressed grilled to make it perfectly crispy. The Poutine was also very good. Some of the best on the island. Only downside is the parking, but if you can't find a spot, there's public parking a 2 minute walk away. My favorite thing was the package of pasta "straws" for the drinks. Very novel, biodegradable, and probably better for the environment than even paper ones. For a roadside stand, perfect. 5 stars!

Lobster roll ! Delicious ! Fries are fantastic as well . I would also recommend the burgers

One of freshest and best lobster rolls I've ever had...including many in Maine. The poutine classique was also excellent. And the woman who took our order could not have been kinder and sweeter. All in all c'est magnifique!

Amazing Lobster Roll w/ fries. The lemon mayonnaise is delicious and the people there are incredibly kind and caring. Would return 100% next time in Quebec.
