La Poule en Feu is a restaurant pub popular for its charcoal grilling. Known for its famous chicken and tasty speciality sauce, finger licking ribs, and delicious rosée pasta. La Poule en Feu offers a great ambience experience with many special events.
Reviews of La Poule en Feu show that the food quality is highly regarded, especially the chicken and the house Piri Piri sauce, with ribs and rosé pasta frequently praised for flavor and heartiness; some diners note generous portions and good value, while others find portions small for the price or complain about inconsistency and changes in ownership affecting overall quality. The atmosphere is described as lively and family friendly, with attentive staff and a warm vibe, though a few experiences mention rushed service, pushy checks on tips, or less clean bathroom conditions.

I often go to that restaurant, alone or mostly with my family (12 people minimum). Every time I always give big tips, but today I had some cash in my pocket that I wanted to get rid of, so I gave it as tips in cash, which was less than the minimum percentage (15%). The server, not satisfied with the amount, told me that the minimum « required » is 15%. She talked in a way that made me feel like I HAD to give a certain amount, minimum. I'm not saying all this to criticize the restaurant itself, it's a very good p'ace to eat & I recommend to go there, but I think if you chose to work in a restaurant, it means that you know the only guaranteed amount you're gonna receive is your salary that's on your contract! Ain't nobody asks you to work there, don't come tell me about your salary's that ain't much cause the government is expecting clients to always give big tips! Very uncomfortable situation!!! I don't really like commenting about my experiences, but that one was too much, cmon! There ain't no nice way of saying it if you're complaining about tips that's big enough for you!
C'est la 3ieme fois que j'y vais & je ne suis jamais déçu. Cependant malgré ma note de 5 étoiles pour le repas - service - ambiance, je fut très déçu des toilettes. La toilette des hommes mériterais un peu d'amour. Il y avait une odeur d'urine en ouvrant la porte, & la porte du cabinet ne pouvait être barrée car brisée. Un refresh pi l'affaire est ketchup.
Very good spot to go to for charcoal grilled chicken spareribs were very good as well. Place was busy at noon. A lot of construction guys from the East End enjoying a nice plate of chicken & a cold one.
Came back the next week & tried the soubmarine…. Wow incredibile
