Greek comfort food
Before Greek food appeared on the island, we wanted to bring souvlaki, pita, tzatziki, and generous Greek plates to the table too.
About us
From Quebec to Gili Air
A little Canadian restaurant built from poutine, island life, homemade curds, Greek plates, steamed hot dogs, and a lot of stubborn love.
The beginning
Poutine started in rural Quebec
The origin of poutine is still debated, but one thing is sure: it was born in rural Quebec in the 1950s, around fries, cheese curds, small restaurants, and potato-shack energy.
Warwick, La P'tite Vache, and Le Roy Jucep in Drummondville are all part of the story. Somewhere along the way, fries, curds, and gravy became the comfort food Quebec never stopped loving.
Our story
Then Quebec landed on Gili Air
When the opportunity came to open a tiny restaurant, the idea was simple: share a little corner of home. In Quebec, we have cantines a patates, simple food, generous plates, and food that makes people happy.
The hardest part at the beginning was the cheese. Real poutine needs real curds, and learning how to make them here was not easy. Now we work with real cow milk, and that changed everything.
On the main street
Quebec food, Greek plates, and our famous roteux
After moving to the main street, Poutine Gili Air kept growing the same way: bring something different to the island, keep it generous, and keep it fun.
Roteux and Quebec classics
We also serve our roteux, the steamed hot dogs Quebecers and North Americans know by heart. More dishes from home are coming soon.

Pom Pom was born from fluffy mashed-potato dreams, crispy fries, cheesy joy, and golden moments. His mission is simple: bring good vibes, big smiles, and a little chaos to every poutine night.
Favorite move: the Gravy Shuffle, only seen when the music is right.
