We saw this place on Food Network's Big Food Bucket List, so we gave it a try. A nice little place off the beaten path (less tourists), but accommodating our lack of French abilities by serving us in English. They call themselves a "Small "Retro-Punk" neighborhood restaurant" and the decor and music were definitely to that image but in a fun and friendly way. My wife had a Montreal hot dog (hot dog with coleslaw) while I had the Diner Burger with waffles in place of the bun and we had fried onions and classic poutine as sides. They also had a small selection of alcohol free beer, which is greatly appreciated as I like beer, but I don't like drinking when I am eating out and have to drive somewhere. I got an alcohol free IPA by Ras L'Bock which had a great citrus note that paired very well with the Diner Burger.
The Diner Burger is very big and the waffles definitely add to the massive size. Great flavour with the fried onions and bacon, it filled me up. The fried onions had a salt and vinegar flavour to them and the classic poutine with real cheese curds is a must. Glad we found this place!
