Reviews consistently highlight Ma Poule Mouillée for its Portuguese rotisserie chicken and generous portions at an exceptional value. The poutine with chicken and chorizo is a standout, with rich sauce, crispy fries, and big servings that can feed two or more. Crowds and limited seating create long waits, but fast service and friendly staff help move things along, and the smoky, charcoal grilled chicken earns rave notes. A few visits mention dips in quality or packaging issues when ordering takeout, but the overall impression remains bold, flavorful and affordable, attracting locals and visitors for both classic and inventive combinations. Desserts like pastel de nata and coconut flan are well loved, and the menu's mix of poutine and chicken makes this a hearty, satisfying option.
Can't go wrong at this MTL staple, get the poutine for $19 & share with several people. The line is worth the wait. Also if they have any left, pick up a Massa (sweet bread cake) & enjoy with your coffee the next morning

5 étoiles pour l'opulence, car les portions sont gigantesques. Large choix de dessert & à bon prix.
Les taxes sont aussi incluses + pas de tips pseudo forcés à la caisse. Muito obrigado por isso!
La bouffe est vraiment trop bonne, la poutine poulet chorizo est incroyable. Le prix est très bon, la petite poutine peut faire 2 repas! Le personnel est gentil & ça roule. J'enlève aucune étoile car ça vaut le déplacement, mais ils sont victimes de leur succès: manque parfois de places assises pour manger. & par période, surtout l'été, des files qui vont dehors. Peut-être plus considérer takeout.

Ma Poule Mouillée is easily one of the best spots in Montreal if you're craving truly tasty, satisfying chicken. It absolutely lives up to its reputation as a TripAdvisor-recommended place, & after my visit, I can see why it's so popular.
I ordered a salad, poutine, & their famous chicken, & the total came to a little over $40-well worth it for the quality & portion sizes. Everything tasted incredibly fresh. The chicken was juicy, perfectly seasoned, & cooked just right with that signature Portuguese-style flavor. The poutine was rich & indulgent, loaded with toppings & full of bold taste, while the salad balanced everything out nicely with fresh ingredients.
One of the things I really appreciated was that you can actually see how they cook your food. It adds a level of transparency & trust, & it's honestly fun to watch the process. You know you're getting something freshly prepared right in front of you.
The service was fast & pleasant. Even though the place was busy, the staff handled everything efficiently & kept things moving without sacrificing friendliness. That said, be prepared-there's often a line of people waiting, which says a lot about how good the food is. Seating is limited, so it's not the best spot if you're looking for a long, relaxed dine-in experience.
Overall, if you want delicious, fresh chicken & don't mind a bit of a wait, this place is a must-visit.
Super generous portion of poutine filled with lots of tender rotisserie chicken & slices of chorizo. We shared a small poutine between 3 people & it was enough. The gravy is rich, but starts to get a little salty near the end. You order in at the kitchen area then pay & pickup your food at the cash register. Would recommend for delicious & reasonably priced poutine!
