Nouveau Système Beaubien

The original diner experience that you’ve been looking for. It felt like I was taking a step into a Time Machine and going back 20 years with the vintage atmosphere. First off, I suggest coming here with a big appetite. The menu has a massive variety and the portions are very generous (as are the prices). In the few times I’ve been here, I’ve ordered more food than I’m proud of including classic breakfast, chicken poutine, Philly steak sandwich, grilled cheese, clubhouse, hot chicken sandwich, and more. The fries are some of the best in Montreal and the poutine is banging. They have comfy booth seating here as well. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a snack, this is the spot.

lovely oldschool type diner, kinda feels like a time travel into the past. such good poutine and hot chicken sandwich/grilled cheese. very hearty food, the guys in the front be cheffing it up, can’t lie. such attentive service too. definitely a recommendation :)

Incredibly friendly service at the takeout counter or the table. VERY good prices for above average quality on this type of food. If you're hanging out anywhere on Beaubien, this is my #1 recommendation for any type of diner food. If you're looking for a spot to try Quebec style fast food for the first time, it's my #1 in Montreal. Please give it a try!!!

Great place for this type of fair. No-nonsense good diner food, fairly priced. many options, breakfasts too. I used to live in the neighbourhood; now when I pass through the neighbourhood I always stop-in for a couple of steamies when I can - best "choux" slaw ever! Recommend.

Visiting from Toronto and Ottawa, right across the street from our air b&b. We only speak English and our server tried so hard to communicate with us, her English was very good! Food was sooooo fast! Out within 5 minutes of ordering. Hot and fresh! Tasted fantastic, great service and staff were very friendly! We will definitely visit the next time we're in town!

I’ve been going to this restaurant since I last discovered it in 1992.. The hotdogs and fries were the best .. The waitresses super friendly and always eager to please .Over the years I’ve moved away ,regardless , always came back once a year at least , for the best fries and cheeseburgers .. Today June 2025 ,Unfortunately I had the rarest and horrible experience for the first time .. My fries were old and gummy and all black burnt , the cook used old fries, my husband’s cheese hamburger the bacon was totally burnt.. The salad they served had an arm hair in it .. When I got to paying , I’ve always paid with cash in the past, this time I only had cash for tip , so I used my debit card and as I used the interac , I skipped the tip and the read ,went back to nil ,so I asked the waitress If she could just reenter the amount , she grabbed my debit card out of my hand , without asking my permission , used the tap button , and passed the amount without my consent or authorization, I was so upset never use tap and worst of all she took my debit card , could you imagine the audacity of this waitress to steal my debit card out of my hand and use it by herself in what she thought was the right method of paying without my consent .. She also looked like she was on crack , totally lost and hyper .. I was in utter shock , not only was this illegal what she did ripping my debit card out of my hand but also so disrespectful and unprofessional.. I told her and she started whispering « I’m sorry « .. so that the owner wouldn’t hear me complaining abt what she did to me. My experience today was one horrible one ,in over 30 years the first time I can say the food was horrible would not pass inspection ,the service , was illegal she practically stole my debit card off my hand and tapped it without my consent and the owner just stood there lost to what was happening in front of his eyes .. Really sorry that this happened .. I needed to write this so that the owner knows and so that people out there know also that this place is amazing and was for so many years , all you need is one bad waitress to ruin everything.. We will never go back again ..

Definitely felt like we went back in time after stepping into this restaurant. Service was super friendly. We had the Michigan hot dog which was pretty tasty. Will be back to try more items.

Really nice restaurant! The food its really good! I recommend it totally, the pizza and poutine were great and the place its nice and cozy, with that 70s vibe. Good prices and the enployees really kind.
