We ordered the La Belle (The Beauty) Burger ($25) and the Sausage Poutine ($18)…read more Even already considering it to be an artisanal or gourmet burger, I personally find it just a tad bit expensive at $25. I did enjoy eating the burger. The juicy and savory patty was balanced with the sweetness of the fig jelly and caramelized onions. For the burger's side, instead of going wih the fries we went with mac & cheese and paid extra. The mac & cheese is an easy recommend. Our other order was the Sausage poutine. The Sausage poutine was OK to good. I would not consider it among my favorite takes on Poutine, but it is still well worth the try. Service was excellent. Our waiter was bilingual in French and English and helped us with the ordering experience. He also occasionally checked up on our section of the restaurant conversing with different tables in English or French as required. The setting of the restaurant was interesting in that there is like a bar section bordered by like a balcony or terrace, and the more quiet section where we were seated facing outwards to the mall. The bathrooms are by the middle part where the guest entrance is. The walls and tiling of the place has so much character with picture frames, an arcade, and all the photos posted.

Atmosphere is dark, very acoustic with high ceilings. 20 tables. It's perched on a second level, atop the highway. Staff is kind and service good. The cheese curds are spongy. The Canada whiskey I inquired about; they did not have. A Canadian bar without whiskey. The place is perfect for millennials drinking 'fake-tinis'. The evening when I came in for dinner, was kind of dead. Bumping music, rocker wall-art, anarchy and music decor: wide-ranged burger menu that offers everything from one topped with eggs, to fried onion, avocado and lots of variations. It is burger heavy. Food tastes pre-packaged. Order beers from a bar tap, not shots. Bottles are for show. Review: 3

Get the smokey ketchup as your side condiment. Just do it. Trust me. Thank me later…read more I personally got the Le Canotier burger, which was amazing by itself. The fries were decent until the ketchup was introduced; as someone who traditionally doesn't like ketchup, it was genuinely one of the greatest sauces I've ever had, and was closer to a pesto consistency. Overall very good bang for the buck.

Have these people never had a burger before? There's nothing wrong with the burgers here, but there's also nothing right about them. They're burgers. Meat, bread, lettuce, sauces..yep. It's a burger. And it's okay. Bland and by-the-book to a fault. It tasted liked they perfected the art of having minimal flavors and ingredients, as if they were weighing the taste of each in a highly technical way. I forgot I even went here by the next day and was only reminded by pictures I took. It's basically the Quebecois version of whatever one step up from an Applebee's would be, but with a premium price tag and hype. Any other burger in town would probably be just as good if not better. Side was pretty bad. Basically burnt tofu. Service was lacking, but there. I was tended to in the most basic 'there's another table to get through' way possible. Check took a long time to get to me and I ended up just walking up to the counter. Not sure why. There weren't a lot of people there. Tons of seating and a pretty nice view, although that's hard to not have in Quebec City. Can't recommend it with so many other options and delicacies not all that far away. Don't go out of your way to come to this place. Location: 4* Convenience: 2* Service: 1* Product/quality: 3* Aesthetics: 1*

Best poutine in all of QC! I stumbled into the Chic Shack…read morewhile exploring old QC/ Frontenac. The location is perfect and close to everything. I loved my old style poutine forestiere with mushroom ragout, shallots and potato wedges / cheese curds. The size was on the small side, I was fully satisfied with the portion. Other poutine places have ginormous sizes so this was a relief personally. Waitstaff were helpful with translation, younger waitstaff were very polite despite language differences. They do not accept cash at the establishment. I also ordered a latte which was a good pick me up.

The bun was super fluffy and the special sauce complimented the meat nicely. Service was very friendly and good came to the table quickly.

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.

They have some Quebec staples like poutine and foie gras, and a selection of 10" pizzas available. We came here for lunch and each had a French onion soup. I had a Shack's Poutine by myself, while my mom and dad shared a beef cheek pizza. The French onion soup was a bit salty. I find it intriguing that multiple establishments in Quebec City kept mentioning their onion soups as the "best in town", including this one. This one was good, but I'd give Chez Boulay the crown from all the places I tried. The poutine, on the other hand, was excellent. Will never say no to plentiful cheese curds, and I don't mind foie gras at all. My parents enjoyed the beef cheek pizza, particularly highlighting the BBQ sauce and the smoked beef cheeks. Service was excellent. We arrived around 11:30am and there was one other table taken, but by the time we left around 1pm there was a lineup. Personally I would come back here.
