Review Summary

Overall, reviews describe Chez Monique as a casual, affordable eatery known for really good poutine with flavorful sauce, plenty of cheese curds, and fries that are often crispy outside and soft inside, with generous portions and good value. The hot dogs and burgers get praise, as do the onion rings, and the service is repeatedly described as fast, friendly, and attentive, giving the place a welcoming vibe that makes it easy to return. Several comments mention the use of local ingredients and that the poutine can transport diners back to memories of the past, though some batches are said to be less strong in sauce and the fries occasionally undercooked. A few notes point to improvements after a change in ownership, including lower prices and a homemade sauce, while others warn about vacation closures affecting hours. Taken together, the reviews present Chez Monique as a beloved, affordable staple with a standout poutine and a casual atmosphere, though a minority of orders fall short on fry texture or sauce depth.

Cute casual spot. Great food, fries are really good & fresh. We enjoy the hot dog & poutine there.

pout pout POOOOUT!! Everyone can make poutine but not everyone can make poutine like Chez Monique. Not only is it generous & reasonably priced (19$ for a family sized) but it tastes TRÈS BON! As comparison: I love the fat fries & tangy sauce of Décarie Hot Dog's poutine. One of my all time FAV...but I have to say that the one I had at Chez Monique tonight, although a tad sweater, is MUCH better. The potatoes are amazing! Especially if you like the brown fat fries nortorious in QC. Hefty amount of fresh cheese. Great thick & savoury sauce. A beautiful mess! They use fresh ingredients (i.e. no frozen fries nor ground meat) & you can taste it. It's definitely worth the trek to try this squeak squeak delight. You won't regret it. The Italian poutine is good but the regular original is just that much better. If you have to choose, take regular. If you have 2 stomachs like me. Try the 2. Burgers are good. Gobbled up in no time! Michigan has a generous amount of meat sauce. Did not order their signature bun "bouche trou" but maybe next time: hot dog bun with ground beef douzed with piutine sauce. Might be cheese in there too. I have to admit 6$ is a bit steep. If you order a combo: check if it is cheaper to order each item separately. I think that some combo prices don't add up. There are plenty of seating space with picnic tables but the little sparrows have clearly been hand-fed. They will fly right up your face or plate to try to peck at your food. So do not eat there if Hitchcock scares you or birds on your table or your face bothers you even a little. Take out instead. Special shout out to the couple who run this place. Hard working & lovely couple who are clearly proud of their food.

Super picky with Poutine. Fries are awesome, smaller than most Fast-Food places so gravy doesnt get absorbed. Lots of cheese. Everything is fresh & hot. Gravy is good. Add a bit of salt & everything is perfect. Try the Bouche Trou. One of the best thing on their menu.

Still the very best Poutine. Perfect ratio of cheese, fries & sauce. The burgers are delicious as well.

Fries were raw inside, mushy outside, everything was mixed up in the bag.

Amazing food! The poutine is perfect, the gravy tastes hearty & does not lack on flavour at all, the cheese is authentic poutine cheese & the fries taste fresh home made. Generous amounts of everything too. Staff is is also extremely friendly!!

Absolutely wonderful! The staff & owner were incredibly friendly, helpful, & hospitable - the owner even wrote down recommendations for things to do in the area. The food was fresh, hot, inexpensive & tasty - it’s made daily & ingredients are locally sourced. Try the poutine!
