Je n'ai pas spécialement apprécié la poutine (première fois), cependant l'équipe était agréable & l'ambiance ok. Portions généreuses.

Restaurant Chez Claudette is one of the hidden spots for authentic Québécois comfort food in Montreal. The menu is packed with local classics, but the poutine is the standout-crispy fries, rich gravy, & perfectly melted cheese curds done the way they should be. If you have room, the smoked meat & homemade desserts are also worth trying.

The cozy atmosphere & charming neighborhood view make it a great place to relax, whether you're stopping in for brunch, lunch, or dinner. Every visit feels warm & welcoming, with friendly service that adds to the experience.

If you're looking to experience food inspired by the culinary traditions of Québec, Canada, Chez Claudette is an excellent choice. It's a place that celebrates local flavors with generous portions & genuine hospitality.

This place was my favorite poutine place of all time. The fries tasted fresh & the gravy tasted really deep & special. The cheese was good & squeaky & the toppings were great.

Les temps sont ptet durs, je veux encourager mais étant amateur de poutine celle-ci ne contenait presque pas de sauce, vraiment ! & quelques morceaux de fromage 🤷🏻. À s'y méprendre avec une barquette de frites? Il faut corriger ça car pour l'instant je ne recommande vraiment pas. Commentaire tardif sur une consommation d'il ya plusieurs semaines.
Restons positifs, lacune facile à corriger !

Seems like a lot of people like this greasy spoon in the neighbourhood. I'm not one of them. Most of the time I pass there people are eating poutine which is probably not the best choice if you're health conscious & might I say... have taste.

My favourite place in Canada I have eaten. May been bias because this is the first & only poutine I've had but it was the best food I've eaten. So delicious & crazy affordable. The staff are lovely & the restaurant has a very cosy welcoming atmosphere.

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.
