Pouletto Restaurant

Downtown, Westmount

Review Summary

Reviews of Pouletto Restaurant present a mixed picture, with the chicken described as tasty and crispy while service and communication issues frequently overshadow the meal. One account details very poor service, no greeting from a young staff member thought to be the owner's son, no thank you after paying, and a tense moment over condiments as the guest, who does not speak French, struggled to be understood; the wrong drink was brought and corrected after an English request, and the garlicky mayonnaise was tasted at the table. The owner reportedly blamed language barriers for the missteps, and the encounter left the guests unlikely to return. Yet the chicken is praised for frying promptly once ordered, the fries are considered good, and some mark the chicken as possibly the best grilled in Montreal, though the portion experienced was fried and lacked flavor. Overall, clients note solid poultry and fries but uneven service and communication issues that can affect the dining experience.View restaurant profile
