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.
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!
While many tourists flock to La Banquise, locals often prefer this spot. The chicken here is beautifully cooked, tender, & juicy, making it a standout dish. Their poutine is also quite good, offering a hearty & satisfying option. To complete the meal, don't miss out on their desserts, which are both fresh & flavorful. The salads are a great addition too, balancing the richness of the main course. Altogether, it's a place that delivers both quality & authenticity.
Price wise, it's insanely great! We had a large poutine shared me & my boyfriend & the portion is huge enough to have us completely in food coma.
The poutine overall was very good, the Portuguese sausages in it slapped! & the meat was generous. Only thing to take note, is that since they undo the chicken right before building tue poutine, there will be bits of cartilage. It got me by surprised, some of my friends weren't fan of it.
Alors m'à t'on dit si tu veux manger une vraie poutine vas y pas déçu du tout leur assiette c'est un plat pour deux avec du poulet des chorizos des bouts de jambon nous avons du repartir avec tant il y e? avait trop.Ça vaut le détour vraiment à 17h30 il y a une queue monstre plus le temps passe plus elle s'allonge vraiment allez y.Seul bémol pas de place proche pour se garer. Nous étions 7.
Best poutine i've ever had, & i've had quite a lot!!!
Opted for the one with the Portuguese-style chicken & chorizo sausage as well. Soooo good. Very good priced for what you get.

We tried the Portuguese chicken & poutine here. The chicken itself was juicy & cooked well, but it was missing that bold peri peri flavor I was hoping for - it felt a little underwhelming. The poutine was generous, but honestly had way too many cheese curds, which threw off the balance with the gravy & fries. On top of that, the ladies working at the counter were pretty rude, which made the experience less enjoyable. The tables were dirty & not cleaned after previous customers. Overall the food was okay, but the service, cleanliness & details need improvement.
My friend & I sat with some lovely people who shared their table. There is a line up but it is worth the wait. I love their fries & will try their poutine next time. I got a half chicken meal.
Avons bien aimé...nous avons manger la poutine mais c vraiment pas notre préférer mais étais bonne.sans plus
Mais on y retourne pour la salade elle a l'air hyper bonne
& les prix sont non dispendieux pour la grosseur hyper généreuse

I had the chicken/chorizo poutine. This place might as well be a buffet, because I couldn't stop eating it until my stomach hurt. It's more of a takeout spot, it was very busy, & the service was acceptable. You will come back for the excellent food!
I don't get the hype for the Portuguese poutine. Mine barely had any chicken & a few bites I came down on cartilage & a small bone, not pleasant. The sausage was just ok & the poutine was average. Service was efficient but the wait on line took awhile. This dish is very heavy & greasy & I could only finish half. The small order is large enough for a pair to share.
Mouth-wateringly good Portuguese rotisserie chicken. Very affordable. Their house poutine, with chicken, chorizo & piri-piri sauce, is iconic. Be prepared to wait in line. It's totally worth the wait.
