About

Ma Poule Mouillée specializes in authentic Portuguese charcoal-grilled chicken prepared with traditional spice rubs and open-flame cooking methods. The menu centers on succulent rotisserie poultry served alongside generous portions of poutine topped with chorizo, sautéed greens, and seasoned fries. Each order emphasizes robust flavors developed through high-heat grilling that renders skin crisp while keeping meat tender. The kitchen balances these bold proteins with side dishes like creamy coleslaw and classic salads to complete the meal. Patrons consume these hearty offerings within a functional space characterized by communal setups and efficient service flows. This establishment remains a destination for those seeking straightforward preparations of Iberian-inspired grilled favorites served without unnecessary complication or pretense. The commitment to consistent heat management and quality sourcing defines the primary culinary output of this venue.

Review Summary

Ma Poule Mouillée is widely celebrated for its exceptional charcoal-grilled Portuguese chicken and generous, flavor-packed poutine topped with chorizo. Visitors frequently praise the massive portion sizes, which offer incredible value for the money, and the authentic, smoky quality of the meat. While the restaurant is consistently busy and often requires waiting in a line, many guests find the experience well worth the time, especially when taking their meals to a nearby park to enjoy. Although some diners have noted occasional issues with service flow, limited indoor seating, or inconsistent seasoning, the vast majority of feedback highlights the restaurant as a must-visit destination in Montreal for a satisfying and comforting meal.

Chicken is flavourful & juicy & seasoned really well. The prices are very reasonable considering it is tax included. The lines are always long so it takes a bit of time to get food, but it's worth the wait.

We ordered the whole chicken & the poutine with everything on it. Everything was lip smacking good & so flavorful. We lucked out with no line when we got there. Service was super fast. Our food was ready about 3 minutes after we ordered. The sauce was so good we got some to take home. By the time we left, there was a line around the corner. I'd say still worth the wait for the deliciousness.

Chicken looked & smelled good but the breast part was flavourless & then the dark meat was too salty. You gotta figure out how to not over season the dark meat & under-season the breast. Poutine was ok. Food was extremely greasy. The tarts were good.

The chicken is great, & if there is only a small line, worth it for sure. Two huge gripes about this place, & maybe it's just the result of them growing so fast.

The line is insane, but it seems to only exist because of how inefficient they are. The line of about 25-30 customers took over an hour to get through. There's piles & piles of chicken ready. But it seems like another ingredient or combination slows them down dramatically.

Which brings me to the fries, which may actually be the culprit. Loads of reviews say it was their best poutine they ever ate. The fries were incredibly soggy for my order, & from all the time we had in line to watch them cook, it was so obvious why. They have ginormous fryer baskets they use to double fry the potatoes, I'd say each one held 20 lbs or so, & they were loading them up right to the brim of the basket, overcrowding the cook. This is a huge problem for getting fries crispy, even when you double fry.

I don't know if they were just trying to get through a rush, but it really soured the long wait. Seems like it's a bottleneck they need to fix.

Huge portions, good prices, long line (8pm on a Wednesday), quick service considering the length of the line. We ordered the poutine & half a chicken with fries & salad. The food was okay but nothing special.

Order anything on their menu, anything; throw a dart at the menu & you will have a great meal. The chicken sandwich is delicious & their poutine is better than that. You see a queue?...there's a reason.

Incroyable ! Très bon rapport qualité prix. La poutine est excellente ! Un must do sur Montréal !
L'attente peut être importante, ne pas hésitez à commander par téléphone pour emporter.
