Nouveau Système Beaubien — Restaurant in Montreal

I’ve been going to this restaurant since I last discovered it in 1992.. The hotdogs and fries were the best .. The waitresses super friendly and always eager to please .Over the years I’ve moved away ,regardless , always came back once a year at least , for the best fries and cheeseburgers .. Today June 2025 ,Unfortunately I had the rarest and horrible experience for the first time .. My fries were old and gummy and all black burnt , the cook used old fries, my husband’s cheese hamburger the bacon was totally burnt.. The salad they served had an arm hair in it .. When I got to paying , I’ve always paid with cash in the past, this time I only had cash for tip , so I used my debit card and as I used the interac , I skipped the tip and the read ,went back to nil ,so I asked the waitress If she could just reenter the amount , she grabbed my debit card out of my hand , without asking my permission , used the tap button , and passed the amount without my consent or authorization, I was so upset never use tap and worst of all she took my debit card , could you imagine the audacity of this waitress to steal my debit card out of my hand and use it by herself in what she thought was the right method of paying without my consent .. She also looked like she was on crack , totally lost and hyper .. I was in utter shock , not only was this illegal what she did ripping my debit card out of my hand but also so disrespectful and unprofessional.. I told her and she started whispering « I’m sorry « .. so that the owner wouldn’t hear me complaining abt what she did to me. My experience today was one horrible one ,in over 30 years the first time I can say the food was horrible would not pass inspection ,the service , was illegal she practically stole my debit card off my hand and tapped it without my consent and the owner just stood there lost to what was happening in front of his eyes .. Really sorry that this happened .. I needed to write this so that the owner knows and so that people out there know also that this place is amazing and was for so many years , all you need is one bad waitress to ruin everything.. We will never go...

Hard working cooks, servers and staff provide great quality Greek/Québec-style diner fare; which for these times is fairly priced. Listing since established 1952 on their old school front signage the large menu above the open kitchen, seating and decor are fitting of the era - despite some likely tweaks and slight updates/'fixes' over the decades. On my first visit I got a freshly made tuna sandwich on toasted brown bread with tomato and cheese - that hit the spot. However, what really did and was devoured to the last morsel was their classic club sandwich which despite being a mountain of food is comprised of all the requisite platting components (the triple-decker sandwich cut in fours up the middle, the fresh cut fries to one side, plus the coleslaw and pickles balancing out the other of this heavy weight platter). The large fresh cut fries were moist and semi-sweet yet crispy enough on the outside, the sandwich was well constructed and the whole wheat toasted bread layers were interspersed with plenty of moist-enough sliced chicken, well thought out tomato pieces, shredded lettuce and crushed well cooked bacon. The two pieces of pickle were bright green vinegar-style and the coleslaw was ample and the same one they use for their all dressed hotdogs, which works well to cut the touch of fry grease. Their house blend coffee worked well for pre- and post- meal sippage. I guess over half a century of experience does matter. Did I mention it's still family owned. Keep up the great work. Se...

The BEST steamers of all Quebec. Nouveau Systeme Hotdogs is absolutely and incredibly phenomenal. I order those steamers 6 at a time. The fries a fresh cut and prepared fresh to order. The service is friendly and courteous. The decor and atmosphere is traditional diner. It's like walking into a movie set. The cooks are right there behind the counter preparingvthe food and ready to greet you as you walk in. The waitress eagerly seat you and are ready to take your order. 6 steamers please, all dressed, fries, and a diet coke. I can do it in my sleep. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the good is phenomenal. Comfort food at its best whether spring, summer, fall, or winter. I rate Nouveau Systeme Hotdogs 6 out of 5 mustaches for its perfection and longevity. This place has been around longer than me. That...
