This is the place where you can find the original POUTINE, the national dish of Canada . We try the original with the chesse underneath and the trio (to try a bit of 3 choices). And also the original orange juice, very juicy! Remember to choose one of the two sauces, you can also take both. Feeling the ambience of the 50s with photos of celebrities and maybe yours as well. Don’t forget you’re in the Quebec so you gotta speak up clearly and practice parlez francais!!!

Had dinner with three kids after a long day of driving. Our waitress Caroline was completely accommodating to our monolingual ways, and really nice to the kids. Fish and chips were great... Cotes levees poutine (braised ribs poutine) was better than any poutine I've had in Montreal.

This place is often said as the birthplace of Canadian Poutine! We went there as a family, the ambience is excellent, service is good, food quality is very high. Their poutine portion is very generous. So, be mindful before you order more than one. One plate of poutine was enough for three of us. Highly recommend place for poutine lovers.

We stopped at this restaurant after a 12 hr road trip from Nova Scotia on our way back to Ontario, so we were starving. Being our first time in Quebec we had to try some poutine. After a quick google search we found this restaurant closest to our hotel, so we gave it a try. This was honestly the best poutine we've ever had and the portions are huge. The waitress was so friendly and she tried her best speaking English which was so much appreciated. We live 8 hrs away from this place but if we ever come through Quebec again we are definitely stopping here. Thanks for a great experience.

The place that invented poutine. They have hollandaise-type poutine for breakfast which is delicious but the real star is the classic and authentic poutines. The classic version has the curds under the fries instead of on top. The orange juice is delicious too and a great compliment to the heavy poutine.

The inventor of poutine here at Drummondville’s very own “Le Roy Jucep”! This place is a Diner style restaurant with quite a large seating area and bar stool seating and small booths. Perfect lighting. Amazing waitresses and chefs! Polite, courteous, service. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING POUTINE!!!! Fries well cooked, Cheese is truly special from the Saint-Guillaume Fromagerie about a 30 minute drive down the road. A Range of Sauces available. Also known for their Jucep orange shakes. Orange julep has nothing on these guys!

Enormous selection of poutine, had Cajun and the French one (pepper sauce). They were delicious. A lot of people mention that the sauce is sweet but it might be because they just took the "authentic" sauce which is sweet, you have to ask for the brown sauce which is the actual original one. Anyway, the poutine is up there with the best of them.
