Review Summary

Chez Claudette is widely regarded as a quintessential Montreal destination for poutine, celebrated for its extensive menu variety, generous portions, and authentic retro diner atmosphere. Many visitors praise the delicious, high-quality ingredients, particularly the fresh cheese curds and savory house-made gravy, noting that the restaurant offers excellent value for the price. While the vast majority of guests enjoy the welcoming and speedy service, along with the cozy, neighborhood vibe, experiences can occasionally vary regarding fry texture and staff temperament. Despite some mixed feedback on consistency, it remains a favorite for many seeking a traditional, comfort-food experience in a relaxed setting.

I went for a poutine at lunchtime. The fries are perfect but it stops there. The cheese is refrigerated & not fresh so it melts & really affects the flavour & texture. The gravy has a nice thick feel but it fell a bit flat on flavour.
The place is an institution & I bet other food is delicious. It's just not the spot if you're looking for the best poutine in the city.

Service is top notch & pricing is decent.

Chez Claudette was recommended by a local friend when we asked the best place to try an authentic poutine while travelling the city. It did not disappoint! The selection of poutines were diverse & all sounded delicious. The poutines themselves had delicious cheese curds with a delightful squeak, the gravy was perfectly savoury, & the fries were perfectly salted & crisp. The staff were also very accommodating with our limited French skills. I would highly recommend Chez Claudette.

The staff here are lovely & the portions are very generous despite being labelled'small'. I really enjoyed the New York poutine with the hot sauce incorporated. My only critique is the cheese curds were kind of rubbery.

Noone else in the restaurant ordered a couple of poutines. There was so much hype online about the place & truth is i tried about 8 poutines in montreal & ruebens has been the only good one. So i made the trip all the way to chez claudette in hopes of a great poutine.
Unfortunately the fries were barely cooked, gravy was ok, & not alot of cheese at all. I understand if it was busy but we were the only ones there. Will not be back

Chez Claudette is a cozy little diner with lots of menu options & very affordable prices. The poutine was delicious & warming on a cool day. The grilled cheese was great too!

not my favourite poutine i've had here but not bad. i personally like my fries on the crispier side & found these to be incredibly soft, & the gravy itself wasn't as flavourful as i heard it'd be. maybe we just came on an off day? but the cheese curds were amazing though & quite squeaky! the waitress was lovely & we were able to get a table for 6 people pretty fast on a weekday too. overall probably wouldnt come back specifically for the poutine, but perhaps for the other items!

Nice varieties of poutine with affordable prices. I ordered a small regular poutine & the portion was generous. I personally find the fries a bit overcooked but the gravy & cheese curds were delicious.
