The passing trays looked amazing but we couldn't find seating to save our lives so we struck out to look for another location nearby. You start with a base: quinoa, rice, bulgur, fries (poutine), or lettuce. You choose a number of chicken tenders in one or two flavors, then choose from a variety of toppings. The staff here *understandably* is not great in English, which can of course change depending on where you go and when you come. This was one of our first stops before my high school/college French instruction "clicked on" again, so ordering was mildly stressful for our family. It would have been nice if there were some pre-designed bowl recipes to select from (like Cava, for example). For those of you willing to play the language barrier game, the sky is the limit in terms of how you can personalize your bowl. Like every Quebecois dining establishment, this fast food chain is head and shoulders above any American equivalent. Even their poutine (which can be messed up, I assure you) was among the top poutines I've eaten. This is a great place to grab a quick meal, as light or heavy as you require.

Though the chicken pieces were small, it was flavorful, and one bowl was more than enough for me. The ambiance was good, big wall size glass, ordered at the counter got the food, and had fun!

It is deep fried chicken that I was not like too much. But the server helped me to change the rice to Quinoa. I was really happy with this change. This order was $23 with NO extra charge for the Quinoa substitution. When we got the box, the sauce was poured on to my poke bowl, and the fried chicken was only a few pieces. Taste was a bit different from yesterday. For a $23 bowl, I felt a bit expensive. But I still like it.

I was surprised and a little unsure, but when I sunk my pearly whites into that enormous slice, I was super impressed! I ordered what I thought was a meat lovers pizza but turned out to be smoked meat (brisket) with pickles! Man oh man. It sounds weird and looked weird but you gotta try it! Crazy delicious! I was given 5 packs of butter in the bag with my soda pop and attempted to rub it on my pizza but I'm not sure if that was the idea behind that one. Not a fan of butter on the pizza but the actual pizza was amazing. Dough and light and really soft, fluffy. And the toppings all together made it the best pizza I've eaten. Good job Normandin! Keep up the great work!

The girl that took our order was friendly enough and she did the prep too, though she looked like she'd seen better days. No energy, no enthusiasm, that's for sure. Our order didn't take long and it was hot, it just didn't taste that great. I got a poutine with onions and the number of onions was absolutely overwhelming...like I ordered two onions with cheese, fries, and gravy. I couldn't believe how many onions were on it. My wife had a basic poutine and it was much better, just nothing super, super special. The interior decor is like stepping back into 80's, but is beat to hell. Gangsta rap pumping throughout isn't really my thing either, lol. Doubtful that I'd go back.

I'm giving out five stars because Chez Ashton is everything a poutine should be. However, keep in…read moremind that I'm severely biased on this one. Why? Saint-Louis-de-France is the neighbourhood I grew up in, and this particular Ashton location has not changed since 1997. Hence the nostalgia. I have actually never eaten anything but poutine at Ashton. It's not a fancy place, so the only toppings available are hot-dog, Dulton (grounded meat), extra cheese/sauce and whatnot. I suppose that if I was more objective, I would say fries are average and taste a bit oily (they recently started using smaller ones to get more crisp, but I'm not sure I agree on the decision). The cheese is proper (squeaky = fresh). The gravy is great, but many non-locals are not used to how thin it is. In fact, it should probably be called "sauce" (it's meant to soak the fries). So, Ashton is basically the most endearing comfort food for locals, and just generic fast-food for many outsiders. I call it my own favorite, but it also made my quest for poutine very difficult in Montreal... Tip: In winter, there's rebate if temperature fall lower than -20'C. So -34'C means 30% rebate.

La Belle Province and Les Restaurants Lafleur have better and these are chain restaurants. The fries have a funny taste of them, as if they were fried in oil used to fry the hamburgers. The sauce just doesn't seem right either. The cheese on the other hand is on par for poutine cheese. As for the hamburger, it's nothing special. I got bacon cheeseburger with barbecue sauce, it tastes like any other bacon cheeseburger. Note to all, the patties are fried and not grilled. I'm a send of charbroiled hamburgers over the fried version. So the hamburger really didn't do anything for me. I have to say the taste is pretty good though. Overall, it's not a bad place it's just not a must go to place.
