The menu centers on succulent rotisserie poultry served alongside generous portions of poutine topped with chorizo, sautéed greens, and seasoned fries.

Review Summary

Ma Poule Mouillée is a highly regarded destination in Montreal known for its authentic, charcoal-grilled Portuguese chicken and generous, flavorful portions. Many visitors consider its signature chicken and chorizo poutine to be the best in the city, frequently praising the quality of the meat, the smoky flavor profile, and the excellent value for the price. While the restaurant is immensely popular and often features long queues and limited indoor seating, most diners feel the experience is worth the wait. Although reviews are overwhelmingly positive regarding the food, some guests have noted inconsistencies in service, occasional issues with fries or salad freshness, and the challenges of managing crowded peak hours.

Rotisserie chicken was moist & flavorful. Nata was also good, not overly sweet. Didn't care for the poutine thou, lacking flavor & seasoning. Just get the chicken. Ordering was a bit confusing for a first timer visiting. Place your order with the chef & then you pay at the counter. I won't go out of the way if you only have a few days in town.

Tried the poutine, couldn't finish it, generous serving of their fantastic chicken. The restaurant itself is small with a limited section of seating, but there is a gorgeous park a few blocks away to rest & eat at. Service was orderly & friendly. We beat the lunch rush but there was already a line by the time we left. Try the chicken poutine.

So, I've heard Montrealers claim this place has better poutine than La Banquise & I came to test that

So here's the thing: the poutine is awesome, Quebec has high standards for poutine. Is it the best? Not in my opinion but don't take that negatively.

What is the highlight is actually the chicken sandwich, my goodness, that was Amazing & I'd come again for that!

Really fun spot! Amazing food, though the portions were HUGE! Ordered way to much food for two people. Two half chickens with fries & salad. Weirdly, while the chicken & fries were great, the salad was also really exceptional. Recommend to anyone who likes good food!

Our go to place for Portuguese chicken. Cooked on charcoal served with fresh salad or fries & their tasty sauce. Expect long line ups but it moves fast

Absolutely delicious food & definitely worth the wait. The charcoal-grilled chicken was cooked perfectly. The portion sizes here are huge!

The small poutine was more than enough for two people to share. This place offers amazing value for the money. You get a lot of food for what you pay, & the quality doesn't suffer because of it.

There's almost always a lineup, & it's easy to see why. The food is consistently good, the portions are massive, & it's one of those places that keeps you coming back.

Highly recommended & worth it!

The food is very good. It lives up to the hype. The chicken has great flavor. I liked the Poutine with chorizo & chicken. It was well made with great flavored gravy, the cheese was fresh, & the fries had the right blend of crispiness & mushiness. I waited in a long line, but it moves fast. It is worth it for a first time, but in the future I will call it in for take out. The line is a bit much for frequent visits.

Absolutely fantastic poutine. We have tried many poutine places & this ranks one of the top. The smoky Portuguese chicken is juicy & delicious on its own but when added to a poutine, the flavors blend perfectly with the gravy, curds & fries. There was a little bit of a wait but the line progressed fairly quickly.
