You haven't visited Montreal properly if you don't visit this place. The orange juice is to die for, and the food is really good but not the best poutine in Montreal.

As a tourist, It is alright but I came in expecting more as I heard a lot of hype online. It felt like watered down orange juice, was hoping to resemble more of an Orange Julius type of drink.

It’s located at such a random place and if it’s raining or snowing there’s no seating cause all the seating is outside. However, I personally love the poutine and orange juice from here.

Quick service I ordered a hot dog Michigan, poutine and orange julep. Flavour is what you'd expect at a highly sought after casse croute.

The food, the ambiance, and the patron? A solid 10/10. The food never disappoints. A true Montreal institution, worth every penny. Yes, the price is steep, but you're really paying for that legendary OJ

It had been around 15 years since I last ate at the Julep, and finally got around to trying their poutine. I did an Uber Eats order and was pleasantly surprised by how fast it was delivered…..a very positive start! Unfortunately I was disappointed by the poutine. First off, the large poutine is a ripoff at $17. It is too small! As for the food itself, I had high expectations for the rich looking sauce. As someone who never adds salt to anything, my first thought on tasting it was that it needed salt. The sauce is not bad, but didn’t pop. I did enjoy the way the 3 ingredients blended together. If only the sauce tasted as rich as it looks….

When you see a giant orange in a parking lot you have to check it out. Had Sunday morning breakfast here. The service was decent, seemed like they may be in training but they got the order correct. Pretty surprised by the quality and the food matched the photos on the board. Better than franchise fast food at pretty much the same price.

If you’re in Montreal, you have to try the Orange Julep. It’s the best one I’ve ever had. The drink has a perfect mix of orange and vanilla flavors that taste amazing together. It’s a must-visit spot if you’re in the area!

Disappointing service. We waited so long for our order. At first, we were patient because it was busy. But we heard our cashier say that another employee took our poutine, so we had to wait even more. To top it off, we ended up getting two small poutine when we ordered a large and a small poutine.

Never expected any service at fast food joint, but never thought I could get 'negative' service with so little words exchanged. She is clearly not enjoying the minimum wage job and should've stayed in school but probably couldn't due to this attitude.

Not sure why the young Asian staff there was so unfriendly and pushy when taking our order. I don’t understand why I couldn’t order what I wanted and instead had to get what she was pushing us to order. She was also quite disrespectful and seemed discriminatory toward customers who couldn’t pronounce the product names correctly in French. Overall, the service and experience were very disappointing. The juice didn’t taste fresh either—it felt artificial and was really disappointing :(

Server made us order in French and wouldn't take my order in English. I don't speak any French... and my first language is not even English...

I guess just an iconic place in the city. the food is very average and the famous juice is underwhelming. I was very disappointed by the food and juice . But the service was good. And i guess it's a nice place to hangout with friends if you just want to stay out in the parking lot .
