Pouletto Restaurant

Grill Fried Chicken Burgers Chicken Wings Middle Eastern

(44)

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

Rôtisseries Au Coq

(121)

Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie

BBQ Rotisserie

Review Summary

Reviews of Rôtisseries Au Coq present a mixed picture: many customers praise hot meals delivered quickly and note a welcoming counter presence and a quiet dining area, with tender filets and meals that feel worth the trip despite the takeout counter setup. However, frequent issues temper the positives including missing items in deliveries, orders mispacked with items like frites gaufrées left out, and long attempts to reach staff by phone for refunds. There is criticism of service dynamics such as a distracted cashier and unprofessional behavior observed, and new charges for sauces, salads, and bread are seen as unreasonable. Food quality also varies with several talks of portions shrinking, fries not cooked or parts of meals arriving cold or reheated for the price, and questions about freshness of certain meats. Loyalty voiced by longtime customers appears strained as some note the experience is not what it used to be and compare unfavorably to past visits. Overall, the sentiment points to improvements in order accuracy, consistency of portion and temperature, and customer service necessary to restore confidence.View restaurant profile

Chomedey

Sushi Asian Bubble Tea Poke Bowl

Review Summary

Boîte Geisha Laval is described as a go-to spot for sushi lovers, with the sushi praised for freshness, flavor, and a wide salmon selection, and many noting that the portions offer good value for the price. The quality and variety of the menu, along with consistently warm and welcoming service, make guests feel at home and encourage return visits. Some feedback notes that bubble tea is of low quality and not recommended, while a tipping policy concern suggests that tips should transparently reach the staff. A few comments mention a very pleasant ambience and reasonable prices, though one dish review found the rice too acidic and suggested balancing the vinegar for a better next experience. Overall, the reviews highlight strong sushi quality and service with minor caveats about non-sushi items, tipping transparency, and the vinegar balance in the rice.View restaurant profile

Pub Food Burgers Chicken Wings Poutine Poke Bowl Grilled Cheese

Review Summary

Across reviews, Le Joker Pub Ludique is described as a welcoming place with a lively gaming atmosphere and attentive, professional service. The staff are frequently praised for friendliness and for explaining games clearly, and the concept of combining games with food and drinks is highlighted as a fun, family-friendly experience. Food and drinks are generally rated good to very good, with nachos, poutine, and a variety of options cited, and portions described as hearty. The venue is seen as suitable for groups and celebrations, with time often flying during enjoyable sessions. On the constructive side, some arrivals feel chaotic, orders can be misread or garnishes inconsistent, and interactions with some staff can come off as passive-aggressive when issues arise, indicating room for consistency. Compared to other locations such as Longueuil, the Drummondville venue is viewed as decent but not as consistently strong, leaving room for improvement in coordination and guest experience, though the concept and ambiance remain appealing.View restaurant profile
