Located at 100 Rue Germain in Saint-Alphonse-de-Granby, Cantine La Grande Gueule has quickly made a name for itself as a must-visit culinary gem. Patrons rave about the excellent food quality, though they note the service pace is deliberate, as each dish is prepared to order without shortcuts. The restaurant's hearty portions, particularly the subs and fries, are designed to satisfy more than one diner, making them a great value. Customer favorites include the Philly Cheese steak, crafted with a unique twist that even locals endorse as better than the traditional version.
The star attraction, according to reviews, is undoubtedly the poutine, which has garnered high praise for its special touch. Friendly staff members enhance the dining experience, ensuring patrons feel welcomed and well-cared for. The eatery's charming exterior, featuring a playful bear with glasses logo, adds personality to the ambiance, especially during the warmer months when an ice cream parlor operates on-site. Cantine La Grande Gueule not only fills a long-standing void in the local dining scene but has also swiftly become a beloved stop for travelers and locals alike seeking delicious comfort food.

It's not much to look at, but the food is excellent. Don't expect McDonald's or even Subway speed of service, because everything is prepared to order, no shortcuts here. A word about the subs, on the face of it they appear expensive. They're not, because they're large enough to serve two, and they come with an order of fries also large enough to serve two. We had what they call a Philly Cheese steak, and it's obvious that the owners have never been to Philly for the real thing. Not to worry, it's better. If you're on the road to or from Montreal looking for a place to lunch enter this spot in your GPS.

The cantine's location was used by many restaurant owners before, but this is the most beautiful use of it thus far! The food is tasty, the menu's choices are plentiful, the staff is most often welcoming, the workers are all skilled. I particularly love the bear with glasses logo, it has a lot of personality; the outdoors landscaping is muy bonito! During the warm seasons, they kept an ice cream parlour, to my delight! Understand this: Saint-Alphonse-de-Granby had gone many years without a local restaurant and ice cream place ( not since the previous cantine closed; and the ice cream parlour connected to the gas station across the 139 was demolished to build the Ultramar), probably a decade, then the owners created this wonderful two-in-one; needless to say, it is very popular. I gave them a bearberry plant to match the logo! Bon appetit!

I am a poutine lover and this one is a little above my standards. Fresh somewhat tasty potatoes, great cheese that will not melt away and the sauce is allright ok. The staff is also nice and warm hearted!
