Ma Poule Mouillée draws long lines and a bustling atmosphere, but is widely praised for enormous portions, strong value, and a signature mix of Portuguese rotisserie chicken and creative poutines topped with chorizo and bold sauces. The chicken is described as juicy and smoky from the charcoal grill, the fries are crispy, and the poutine can easily feed two or more, with many noting that the dish embodies a satisfying balance of indulgence and flavor. Still, visits can be chaotic with limited seating, crowds, and occasional service hiccups during peak times, and some reports mention cold fries or cartilage in the chicken. Desserts like pasteis de nata are beloved, and takeout or eating in the park is often recommended to dodge the crowd. Overall, the place is considered a must try for those seeking hearty, affordable Portuguese chicken and poutine, with most reviews agreeing that it is one of the best options in town despite the lines.
Amazing poutine & chicken! We came right at the start of fall & the place was packed with people. Always a good sign & the food definitely lived up to it.
My favourite poutine if from Poule Mouillée, despite being in front of La Banquise (an iconic poutine place). Line ups can be long, & service at cashier is often chaotic. To speed up, you can order by phone, & eat at Parc Lafontaine, which is a 2 minutes walk away.
Heard about this place for so long I had to try the poutine. The Price & amount is incredible, & it tasted good. Not the best I've ever had but definitely decent & if recommend it. Must come back to eat a non poutine meal.
I love those poutine! I always order #8 from the menu. I find their poutine not sweet which is great chicken & chorizo works great together. I also order their passion fruit soda
The poutine is the best in the city, easily. The prices are fantastic, the portion generous. But for the love of everything that is holy, do something about the lineup. Hire another line-cook or something. The wait times for what is essentially a 4-5 item menu is a bit ridiculous.
Superb poutine in a small location. Very little seating. Friendly staff. Very busy, expect to queue. Top tip: you do not need the large poutine unless you're a family of four 😁 (picture is of'small', which I still couldn't finish)
Great portion of food for a very fair price. For those who does not know the place. It's a small sized establisment, so you might have to order take out if there are not enough sitted places. Way better option than La Banquise just across the street ( None La Poulet Mouillée sells Rotisserie chicken therefore only 1 choice of poutine) but many chicken meal options
As a lover of Portuguese chicken, I had to try this place & I was not disappointed. The poutine is hands down one of the best deals in the city. The portion size was huge (easily two full, delicious meals), & the flavor balance was spot on. I expected something heavy or greasy, but even with the chorizo, it wasn't overly fatty at all just perfectly rich & flavorful. The chicken itself was excellent, & the service was quick & friendly. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fresh, modern twist on classic poutine.
Ahhh Mon dieu ! Un ami est arrivé avec cette poutine qui dépasse toute attente....je n'avais même pas faim & j'en ai mangé la moitié que par gourmandise...
La sauce, les frites croustillantes, la sauce piquante, le poulet 😍...... & quoi dire du fromage..... Je n'aime pas le fromage en grain, habituellement je mange 2-3 morceaux dans ma poutine.... Là j'en prenais avec chaque bouchée tellement il est délicieux ! La portion est immense & à vraiment bon prix ! Je ne mangerai plus jamais une poutine québécoise tellement ce serait une grande déception. J'écris cet avis là bouche pleine de salive vu que c'est fermé aujourd'hui & que j'avais le goût d'en manger pour déjeuner. Cette poutine est clairement la meilleure drogue que j'ai goûté de ma vie ! Merci d'exister !
J'y suis retourné 2x depuis..... On dirait que c'est meilleur chaque fois. En quittant l'endroit, j'ai remarqué le line-up devant la Banquise, en passant près d'eux j'avais le goût de leur dire : si vous saviez à quel point vous attendez pour rien du tout.... Marchez 50 mètres.... Nous n'avons même pas eu d'attente en plein à l'heure du souper, pour facilement 700% meilleur que la Banquise.....en tout cas je m'en plains pas, bien content de pas avoir d'attente.......les mêlés peuvent continuer d'aller à la Banquise.... Les connaisseurs de la poule mouillée continueront à venir parce que c'est irremplaçable & de toute façon on sait ce qu'on veut bien avant d'arriver, souvent même depuis quelques jours...
Such a good poutine! I ordered a small one, but it honestly wasn't that small since my boyfriend & I shared it & it was perfect. The portion was generous, super tasty, & totally worth it. The line can get long, but it moves fast.
Large size poutine needs at least 3 people to finish, regular size is good for 2 people. Poutine was delicious - fries were crispy, chicken & sausage toppings mixed well, cheese curds & gravy are top notch. Custard tart was a hit as well.
Line moves fast & staff are kind while moving quick!

Restaurant portugais toujours full de monde ! Venez vers 11h ou 16h30 sinon il y a la file dehors ! Situé en face la banquise ! Meilleur poutine ever avec poulet grillé & chorizo grillé bbq devant vous , frite assaisonner & croustillante une tuerie ! Assiette très généreuse pour une petite poutine! Antoine le propriétaire travaille déjà à ramados avant & à transporter son savoir faire à la poule mouillé ! Bravo & félicitations antonio.
Been coming here for years. Nothing bad to say about this place. They're sandwiches are great, the chicken is amazing but my favorite is their poutine!! Best poutine in the city of Montreal!
La longueur de la queue est souvent garante de qualité, & ici, on ne se trompe pas, car la qualité est au rendez-vous.
Le rôtissage bien visible depuis la queue nous met tout de suite en confiance: le roulement des poulets (aves César, morituri te salutant) est une bonne garantie de fraîcheur. Ici, le poulet ne languit guerre!
La poutine est honnête comme le prix, généreuse, bien fournie & excellente puis s'absorbe bien sans problème.
Un endroit à recommander!
On reviendra!
