About Lafleur

Lafleur is a Montréal fast food chain that has been serving hot dogs, fries and poutine since 1951. It is famous for its hot dogs, ordered steamed or toasted, a choice that Montrealers take seriously. The restaurants have a simple, no-fuss style that has stayed part of the city's food culture for decades.

Lafleur suits families, students and anyone craving a classic Montréal snack. Order a couple of steamies "all dressed" with mustard, relish, onions and coleslaw, alongside fries or a poutine. It is a quick, nostalgic meal after a hockey game or a summer afternoon in the park.
