A SIMPLE PLACE THAT BECAME ICONIC

Drogheria Fine never tried to be trendy.

• No dining room
• No flashy branding
• A small service window
• Fast execution
• A tomato sauce rooted in Montreal food culture

People do not stumble upon it.
They are brought here.

THE FOOD

The concept is straightforward.

• Pasta or gnocchi
• House tomato sauce
• Optional sausage or parmesan
• No reinvention
• No shortcuts
• Just consistency

WHY IT STILL WORKS

• Nothing feels forced
• Prices remain fair
• It belongs to the neighbourhood

Drogheria Fine is not chasing trends.
It is part of Montreal.

BEFORE YOU GO

• Cash only
• No seating
• Lines at peak hours
• Minimal menu by design

MTL TIMES VERDICT

Drogheria Fine does not evolve.
It endures.

And in Montreal, that matters.
