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

Chez Nick comes across in reviews as a long standing, cozy diner with a classic Westmount vibe that feels like a time capsule kept well maintained. The atmosphere is often described as homey and intimate, with vinyl booths and counter seating while the service ranges from brisk and friendly to uneven, with some guests praising a bubbly, efficient staff and others noting mixups or a cup that isn’t refreshed. Food highlights repeatedly cited include the Reuben and club sandwich, the deluxe grilled cheese, French onion soup, and a range of breakfast options with pancakes described as fluffy; the coffee is strong and smooth and portions are generally good value, though a few items feel bland or overpriced. Holiday meals show a traditional, comforting menu with options like a meatball turkey tortiere trio that can be hit or miss. The dining experience is complemented by a nostalgic, slightly upscale street vibe and occasional references to New York style energy, yet the place remains a neighborhood institution where regulars and visitors alike come back for hearty fare and dependable service.View restaurant profile
