Reviews depict Chez Claudette as a Montreal institution for authentic, generously portioned poutine at affordable prices, with a cozy retro diner vibe and friendly, efficient service that many visitors find welcoming. The menu is varied and features other Quebec staples like hot dogs and grilled cheese, and the poutines are often praised for hearty portions, squeaky cheese curds, and a flavorful gravy, with several readers calling it among the best poutine in the city. While most feedback is positive and highlights good value and consistency, some comments point to occasional service slowdowns, inconsistent experiences, and a few days when certain items did not hit the mark, including issues with fries or sauce. Overall, the place is described as a reliable, bustling spot where guests can enjoy generous portions, a classic ambiance, and a strong sense of authenticity that keeps people returning.
Chez Claudette is extremely interesting inside & a great overall experience. Very simple place with minimal staff. Poutine is absolutely the star. So many varieties it is hard to choose. Fries are the perfect consistency & both sauces we had (traditional, & spicy Italian) tasty. Burger was average -- but dressed well for a cheap price. Lots of pictures of Marilyn Monroe everywhere for some reason.
Such a cute find! We initially wanted to go to the place across the street but they had a massive line up & our friends said this place was just as tasty & SO glad we came here instead. No line, delish poutine, GREAT service, & comfortable atmosphere. 100% recommended.

Overall 5 stars for sure. There are tones of Poutine options that look delicious as well as other items. I choose the "Atlantic Poutine" with a white Béchamel sauce. It was okay, but not a wow factor. Mostly came with imitation crab, & a few pieces of baby shrimp. I wanted to try something different so i ordered it, but wouldn't a second time. It just didn't taste like a poutine. Probably due the white sauce. While i was waiting, i seen several other more traditional poutines get served that all looked delicious. I'll be back to try the "New Yorker" as well their Breakfast. I wish they'd have an English Version of their Menu.
Très bonne poutine avec un service merveilleux ! La personne qui nous a servi était super avec une ambiance chaleureuse. Je recommande pour ceux qui souhaitent découvrir la poutine !
Chez Claudette serves an authentic Poutine as well as a delicious BLT (the bacon is super thick & flavourful) The service is very nice here, attentive & friendly. The restaurant is definitely on the older side & could use a reno, however the prices are very reasonable so I am okay with that. 5*
Poutines délicieuses & personnel au même niveau. Mais cela compense difficilement l'attente pas très agréable à l'intérieur au milieu des clients qui dégustent leur plat, quand on prend à emporter... Les poutines valent le détour tout de même !!! PS : ne prenez pas la poutine aux cornichons si ce n'est pas votre dada, ils sont énormes !
Très bonne poutine & le service est rapide. Si vous appelez avant c'est prêt en 10 minutes & vous pouvez venir le chercher. Il y a un peu de queue pour récupérer mais rien d'insurmontable. Je pense que j'y retournerai pour essayer une poutine sur place.
Beaucoup de choix de poutine. Bonne mais sans plus. La sauce n'était pas très bonne... j'avais beaucoup d'attente après en avoir entendu pas mal parler !
Meilleur rapport qualité prix de tous les restaurants servant de la poutine. Des poutines excellentes & pour moi les meilleures poutines de Montréal voire du Québec. En tous les cas la meilleure de toutes celles que j'ai mangé pendant mes 15 jours de périple.
