Décarie Hot Dogs, founded in 1969,[1] is a diner counter restaurant located on Décarie Boulevard in the Saint-Laurent district of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It specializes in hot dogs and french fries.

The restaurant is locally famed for its fries, poutine and Montreal-style steamies[2][3][4] with some reviewers claiming it has the best poutines in the city,[5] or even country.[6] In addition it is reputed for having some of the best hot dogs in Montreal,[7][8][9][10][11][12] and appeared in at least one guide book about Montreal.[13]

Being a local landmark, several well-known locals have eaten at the restaurant, including Rene Angelil, mayors of Montreal and Saint-Laurent, Stephane Dion (former leader of the Liberal Party of Canada) and pro-athletes of local teams.[14][15] Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2019, the Vriniotis family, who established the eatery and still operates it, has managed to retain the same menu for half a century except for the addition of poutine in 1984. Limited renovations were done to the restaurant for its anniversary.

The restaurant, which is across the street from Place Rodolphe-Rousseau public square, is housed in a century old building that features a full wall mural painted by Dodo Ose. The artwork, titled L'Envol, was done as a collaboration between the artist, the city of Saint-Laurent and the owners of Décarie Hot Dogs—the Vriniotis family; made to represent the owners' Greek heritage with the mythological topic of Pegasi.[16][17] [18]
