Cute place we found using Yelp. We needed lunch for the family and this place was perfect. I was able to get a bean burger that was delicious. The kids had an amazing macaroni and cheese and they even catered to my young son who wanted just cheese and bread. I had a side of poutine that was okay. But the veggie burger made It all worth while. :) Parking was in back and It is not a big lot. And again the service was top notch. Restroom was clean and the decor was fun. There was also a outdoor patio. read more

Le Foubrac - Bean burger was delicious! - Bistros Near Me - Gatineau, Quebec

Visited Le Foubrac one day after work for a drink and a bite with two others. The service was quick and friendly and the location was really cute/a bit off the beaten path. I got a California chicken burger which was sooo juicy and the toppings were excellent. I paired this with a spicy caesar (can't go wrong!!). Overall I really enjoyed the visit. I found the prices a bit steep considering the burgers and sandwiches don't come with sides. The menu has a variety of options so k will definitely be back to try a few other items. read more

I went early dinner or late afternoon. I had read it gets quite busy. Anyways, burger and poutine, mac and cheese. My kid thought the mad and cheese was decent. It's quite rich so if you like it rich and cheesy, I'd say it's a winner. The burger I thought was under salted but maybe lots of people Appreciate that. The poutine was good but it wasn't the best I've had and really if you're gonna Fer poutine it should be really really good. Portion wise it was decent, good amount of cheese curds gravy fresh cut fries. I am French fry lover so I actually have higher expectations than most people for these things. I'd say most people would be happy which is why it has so many good reviews. Parking was easy, street parking for free was available. Overall good read more

Burger here was okay. Definitely not the best in town but edible. The fries here are good and service was excellent.

I expect a burger to be juicy and tasty. I can't say that about the burger I had here. I find one of the best ways to judge a burger is by ordering a fairly simple one as opposed to one garnished with 15 different things. I ordered the cul-de-sac burger minus the ketchup as it was their simplest one. Sorry, but I didn't find it that good. It was really bland. I kept having to add salt and pepper on it to get some flavor because there was none coming from the meat. Even the cheese didn't help. Speaking of which, I've got to say the meat was an odd color. Pale and grayish. Let's say anemic. I'm not sure what's up with that but I've never seen a hamburger patty that color before. Their fries and poutines looked amazing! I was trying 'to be good' but ended up being sorry I didn't order any because they looked to die for! My husband ordered their mac and cheese with 4 cheeses, Italian sausage and jalapeño. It was a huge serving, looked amazing and was quite tasty but it was cold. I first ordered a diet Pepsi but it was so flat I had to send it back. I then ordered a tea which is pretty hard to screw up but they managed. They make their own teabags and there was like maybe half a teaspoon of tea in my bag. The service was excellent and they have a nice patio. The seating inside is limited. I'd go back for a poutine or some fries but I wouldn't order another one of their burgers. read more

Greeted by a lovely waitress who was able to speak french and english. The place is very cute with a chill atmosphere. The burgers are around $7-$10, and you can add a side poutine for $4. I chose the Le Mont-Bleu with side poutine for a total of about $13. Tastewise the burger and poutine were both delicious with good portions! Lots of flavour, burger was cooked perfectly and tender, fries were crispy with curds of cheese and hot gravy. Couldn't ask for more for comfort food! Cons- None Pros- Good value Food is delicious Great atmosphere Service- 5/5 Location- 3/5 Food- 5/5 Value/Price- 5/5 Atmosphere- 5/5 Would i return? Yes! read more

Le Foubrac - Le Mont-Bleu w/ side poutine- $13 - Bistros Near Me - Gatineau, Quebec

If you like burgers and/or poutine, this is the place to go! Fries: CRISPY and fresh. You can taste the potatoey-ness! Gravy: thick, salty, but not too salty. They actually put enough! Curds: fresh, although I wish they put more (but I'm obsessed with curds). For a normal person, the amount is good. I chose a bison burger, and the meat was very tender. The toppings could be more inventive and have more flavour though. I enjoyed the poutine much more than the burger! I had the sausage poutine, and there was literally A MOUNTAIN of sausage pieces on top. So delicious, it makes me want to try all the other poutines! read more

I went there on a Tuesday around 6pm with a friend. The place was easy to find and they have a small parking lot. It can accommodate about 6-7 cars. However, I'm certain that there are a lot of street parking nearby. We fell in love with the place as soon as we walked in. It had a very nice ambiance. It was lit enough for us to see everything, but dark enough to keep a nice ambiance. When you go in, you can seat yourself and a waitress will come see you. They have limited seating and, to my surprise, it was full on a Tuesday night! They have a variety of homemade sauces and drinks that are very tasty. Their food is extremely cheap, but so much better than some foods that are sold at big chains (like montana's). We were happily surprised when our waitress told us that on Tuesdays, any burger (except duck) plus a side of poutine is only 10$! I was once again happily surprised when my burger came. The patty was much thinner than patties at other restaurants, but I liked that way, since I could actually taste all the different components of my burger instead of just having a bite of meat. I ended up spending less than 15$ on my meal and I couldn't even finish it. From now on, I'm planning on heading over there every Tuesday! read more

Le Foubrac - Goat cheese and bacon burger with poutine! - Bistros Near Me - Gatineau, Quebec

Was staying down the road for a conference at Lac-Leamy casino and found this place on Yelp. Excellent staff with great knowledge of the local beer. The food was simple, but well done simple. Ingredients weren't cheap and the Fries came out hot with our burgers. The pints are actually pints and weren't an unreasonable price. I'm definitely going to come back next time I'm in town. It was family friendly and I appreciated that. It felt like part of the neighbourhood community and not a sore-thumb. Well done. read more

Such a cozy restaurant with delicious food, attentive service and great music. A real gem.

(Update: Review remains the same. Updated to reflect that the prices have gone up a few times now and most weekly specials are gone. Such is the result of a success. ) Great little spot. I went once to try it. Loved it, and went again a week later - I brought a small group. The burgers are delish. There is a great selection, I have had the signature "le Foubrac" as well as, one that had a nice spicy kick. I will be going back to try the "canard" burger. The fries are tasty, Belgian style, and for a dollar more they will make it a poutine. My only criticism is the bun, good, enough and they are homemade and would be great for a sandwich, but not soft as I would like them for a burger. Both times I went there was a drink special, the prices are amazing. 3 of us ate, drank (more than one) and the bill was about $60. (UPDATE: a few years later - now well over over $100+ for that). The menu is in french, but the staff are very helpful and the service was great. As a restaurant that specializes in Burgers, this is a hit. Better than the works, better than the hintonburger, better than baja burger, and better prices than my (still) favorite Chez Lucien. Very cozy spot maybe 24 seats max? UPDATE: They have doubled the size by expanding next door. They also do take out as well. I will be back and will bring more friends and make this a regular rotation in my dining out choices. read more

Amazing poutine- ask for the works. Good sangria. Excellent and friendly service. My friend ordered the burger with garden salad and she loved it! The homemade dressing on the salad has a fresh and delicious taste. read more

We came to QC so our grandson could celebrate his first legal drink with Mom & Dad...so very good...the drink & the food! Burgers, poutine, Mac & cheese, amazing club, delicious desserts. Le bon gout! read more

Excellent service. Excellent food. Do not miss out on this place. From start to finish well worth the visit. The Gatineau burger melts in your mouth and is a meal on its own. The poutine reminded me of the proper ones I ate as a child, squeaky cheese curds and homemade fries. Finished off with the passion fruit mousse so delicious. Our server made us feel at home and went out of her way to speak English since my french is so bad. You must eat here. read more

Le Foubrac - If you are from Western canada. You need to come here and taste a real poutine - Bistros Near Me - Gatineau, Quebec

A pub my son found that he wanted to try while we were in Gatineau for the day. It is seemingly off the beaten path but it was very well worth the effort to get there. The waitress greeted us in French but easily switched to English when we answered in our native language. The food was so fresh and flavorful, I cannot say enough good things about it. The side salad was refreshing and with all of the variations of poutine they offered, it would be a shock if anyone ever walked out of here hungry. I had ordered a Bloody Caesar with bacon, jalapeños and fromage and the taste was out of this world! If I had not been the only person old enough to drive I would have had a few more! One was plenty though. My daughter ordered the four cheese Mac and cheese and she could not rave enough about it. I was honestly surprised she didn't lick the plate clean. If you're in the area, this place is a great find and I would definitely recommend. read more

Came here after work with some students before we visited the War Museum. It was around 4:30 so the place wasn't packed but they were very accomodating for a group of 8. I got myself the Parisien burger which was aboslutely delicious! I had a side of fries with garlic mayo (they had an assortment of mayos, from cajun to spicy and many more). Loved the atmosphere and the food; would definitely come back here again after work! read more

Le Foubrac - Le Parisien; beef patty, brie cheese, caramelized onions, mushrooms and lettuce! Side of fries with garlic mayo. Yum! - Bistros Near Me - Gatineau, Quebec

Hi, we were looking for a good burger joint and decided to try this place. The place was busy which is usually a good sign. We did not have to wait to long to be seated. The waitress arrived with water right away and we got some local beers to start. We ordered burgers for each other and shared a small poutine. The burgers were great and the poutine was yummy (Hot peppers and cooked red peppers on top) how can you go wrong. Overall, I would recommend this place if you a burger or a poutine person. Good service,good food and at a very reasonable price. Bon appettit read more

Very good burgers and poutine, service was fast and friendly. Prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended.

Cozy little spot. You can tell that there are a lot of regulars, or just a lot of people who know each other, which could be a cause of discomfort, but it's easy to forget once your food comes! My friend and I both ordered burgers, and neither of us could finish ours (we are small girls, but I can usually eat a lot). I had the Montclair, and I would put it in my top 5 best burgers list, for sure. I was pleased with the price and the service. I can speak French, but we were served in English. I wouldn't recommend bringing a large group here as the restaurant can probably only accommodate about 20-25 people. read more

The burgers are really good but not the greatest. They have a wide selection of burgers with lots of interesting ingredients! However, I really liked their garlic mayo and fries and my wife loved the Poutine. At the end of the day, we went there for the burgers which both of us thought were mediocre read more

Le Foubrac - Burgers, Fries with Garlic Mayo, and Poutine - Bistros Near Me - Gatineau, Quebec

Best burgers in town by far! Been 3 times in a week with more and more friends. Amazing selection, funky French ambiance, seriously outstanding service - must be an owner. Quickly working my way through the menu - Gatineau with goat cheese, carmelised onions, sauteed mushroom, and bacon still my fav. Burgers are perfect size, shape, texture and seasoning, bun is just right. So much to get right for a perfect burger but i would say this is as close as anyone has come. Cant wait to try the duck and chicken burger. Daughter had the Parisian, with brie, and double smoked ham, mushrooms and carmelised onion - shes sold! Can a burger be so good an still good for you! Hope so - i am addicted. p.s. Did I mention the wine and beer is great and cheap - small but tasty selection read more

I have previously had wonderful meals and portions here, but was extremely disappointed to get a to go order with less than adequate amount of fries, and to find those fries also cold and darker than normal, having obviously been refried several times. That seems quite unacceptable. Hopefully that won't happen again if I ever return. read more

Really good food. Cool patio! Cider on tap and loved the house salad with my Mexican style chicken sandwich..forget the name of it on the menu. Highly recommend this cute spot! read more

I have been to this restaurant 4 times in 3 weeks. Was introduced to this Resto by a friend. I went back with my sister, my kids, 2 other friends and with my husband. The kind of place you introduce to others. Service by co-owner(woman) always excellent and personalized. I love everything but would add Peper grinder, add bread and butter with soup and change the burger buns. I also find them to big and not moist enough. read more

Food is amazing, i love the Foubrac Poutine. The restaurant is quite small, but still enjoyable. The service can be a bit slow as soon as they have a group or a lot of people though. read more

Good food, awesome prices, and great service. Try the gatineau burger, a poutine, and a pint.

Great Bistro, we went from Toronto and found this place on Yelp. Their poutines are awesome a must try.

I really enjoyed the environment. It was small and cozy. The staff were amazingly nice. My only concern was the food because the poutine was too salty and the burgers were a bit too bland. read more

We had a wonderful meal that pleased both meat eaters and vegetarians in our group. Our server was extremely helpful and kind. We don't speak or read French, and he helped us work through the French-only menu to choose a great lunch for everyone in our group. This is a place with personality, heart, and great food! read more
