Diner Saint-Sauveur

do not be deceived by "diner" because diner saint-sauveur serves great tasting meals that are better than some higher end restaurants we have been to. I had the chicken and waffles and lamented that the portion size was not bigger because it was so good and not because it was too small. my wife had the goat cheese and tomato pasta and my daughter and I were stealing bites throughout the meal. our kids ate their "macaroni like at home" so fast that I checked their bowls when they told me they were already done. the only downside was that the whole street was ripped up so it got a little dusty whenever a car drove by. definitely not what I expected from the exterior but so glad we are here!

I don't care what else you order but don't leave without getting their fried waffle. Order it as dessert, as chicken and waffle, or upgrade the buns for the DINER burger. It's crunchy but still retains it's fluffy texture inside and it's so light and airy. Just get it. You'll thank me and every other review that says it. Next time we're back this is the first place I'll be hitting.

The culinary experience provided a sense of fulfillment, particularly due to the use of locally sourced ingredients and in-house preparations. The service was exceptionally attentive and positive, with staff assistance in locating parking, a warm welcome to the diner, and patient explanations of the menu in consideration of our limited French proficiency.

W had dinner here a couple nights ago. The food was top notch and the service was great. The only downside was the construction, it was nearly impossible to find somewhere to park and the street itself is ripped up. It was worth the hassle though. I'm glad we persevered.

After staggering through the current construction work (both road and pavement), we were welcomed by a friendly group that gave up their table so we could sit near the front! I took up the menu's challenge (no extras will be refused) and had a delicious shepherds pie with a fried egg on top and orangaide. (It was a little bit too busy on a Saturday night.)

This place was amazing. What a pleasure to have had the chance to experience this place. The ambiance is spot on, the music is excellent and has a lot of variety, and the food is so amazing. Portions are good, and everything is perfect. A very chill place, I recommend.

I haven't even left my table before writing this review. I absolutely love this place. Vibes are through the roof, whatever music playlist they're rocking is some secret sauce that ties it all together. My partner had the chicken and waffles and they're gonna be thinking about it for weeks.

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!

TLDR: local bar with amazing food, friendly staff, and warm regulars. Came to grab dinner. We got a half order of shepherds pie and Mac and cheese and a small poutine. Everything came fresh out of the kitchen: hot and bubbly sauce, crisp fries, warm meaty cheese curds - great stuff. The shepherds pie and Mac both had twists that elevated them from the norm and really left a mark on me. We don't speak any French, but our waitress spoke a bit of English and did an excellent job playing a bit of charades to communicate with us. Her friendly attitude and great service made us feel welcome in the small bar of regulars. This was a great spot that I highly recommend and would definitely stop by if I was in the area!

Great local vibe and faire! Everything was fresh - even the ketchup is homemade and delicious. Ate the traditional poutine and they did not disappoint! The curds went "squeak-squeak" as we chewed and it was covered in a super flavorful gravy. Ate the veggie burger. It was tasty. Great beer selection and friendly helpful service. Love this place!

I ordered chili. It was a bowl of beans with tomato sauce. The dish was okish but not what I would call chili. The margarita on the rocks.... definitely no freshly squeezed lime juice and just tequila. No orange liquor and no agave. It was undrinkable.

I ordered a sloppy joe I ask for the bread and the beef and I got bread beef green stuff and cheese in it. The service wasn't that bad though.

Oh man, if I lived in Quebec, this would be my spot. I'm a big fan of diners. So after seeing that there was a diner within walking distance of my airbnb, I came here upon my arrival. I was immediately greeted by the two staffs that work there. They offered me a sit at the booth but I requested to sit by the window. Upon looking at the menu, I turned to yelp to see if there were any pictures of the food. There were much but I instantly knew I wanted the chicken and waffle. I wouldn't take one star away for this but the one picture of the chicken and waffle on yelp was not the same portion I received. The picture showed two waffle with two chicken breast. I received one waffle with three chicken drumsticks, which was plenty for me. For $13cad, the chicken was very good, nice seasoned and fried. I also got fries which was a generous portion for $5cad. I came here two days later on a Saturday and ordered a hamburger. For $9, I only received a burger, nothing else comes with the burger. I would take one star away for this but I'm sure I'm just being a spoiled American who always order burger at a diner and it comes with fries. I'm on Canadian soil and should not expect anything more. One of the staffs suggested I get poutine. Because when you're in Canada, why not. For $6cad, the poutine was good for the value. While I was eating, I noticed they have a brunch special for the chicken and waffle from 10am to 3pm. So you know what I did... I came here my last day after checking out of my airbnb. I ordered the chicken and waffle the brunch special. The staff told me it comes with free tea. What makes it special is that it comes with an egg! I don't know whether he made a special meal for me because after three days here I was apparently a family member to them. But that brunch special was delicious! And it costed $11cad, $2 less than the regular entree. All this talk about the food. Let me to talk about the decor and atmosphere. It has the typical retro diner vibe. Very 80s looking. The music however was amusing (in a good way). They played oldies music. In one visit, I heard Bob Marley, Elton John, blues music, rock n' roll, among other genres. It was quite entertaining because you never know what type of music is coming up next. TL:DR - Go to this place for delicious food at reasonable price :)

This is a small gem in the mist in an outside residential neighborhood near downtown. The inside is not big at all. Having more than 15 ppl inside would be considered crowded in my opinion. The staff of guys were very nice and very helpful since I wasn't sure what to order. They speak English and French. I needed something to snack on. Poutine is highly recommended. Poutine is local dish consisting of fries, cheese curds, and topped with brown gravy. My first time trying it, and ordered mine with bacon too. It's delicious! The bacon chips added to the flavor. The cheese curbs was not a bitter type cheese and the brown gravy set it off. I got it to go and ate it at the local bar across the street.
