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.

I can't understand the hype.

This was the first spot I wanted to try in Montreal & I don't know if it was because of high expectations, but this place was very disappointing.

At first glance & smell of the restaurant, I thought this poutine would be amazing but it just didn't work well all together.

The service here as a non-fluent french speaker was for some reason very difficult. Navigating to get napkins was a chore & it seemed like no one wanted to help but instead watch me walk back & forth looking for it even after asking & being misinformed.

The best aspect I'll give them is the quality of preparation for the roasted chicken, understandable when you walk in & see the setup dedicated to it. The rest of the poutine just struggles as a cohesive menu item & you end up just have too much going on. The fries, gravy, & cheese were not great & I just can't vouch for this place being great.

As guides recommend, I would still try this place out but don't be surprised if it isn't to your taste/disappoints.

Really happy to find this place. The small #8 poutine is huge, delicious, & very reasonably priced. Tip if you're visiting: the front door is a push-in. I saw at least 3 people (& myself) get confused when trying to pull open. lol

Best grilled chicken & fries in the city. Go during off hours or you'll torture yourself as you watch & smell the delicious chicken grilling while you wait.

The poutine's taste was incredible, they were very generous in their food quantity, & get this : the price paid in the end was the exact same as the price disaplayed (i.e. tax were included in the displayed price) & such good quality for a relatively low price point, love it! Truly a 10/10 place!

Très déçue de ma poutine.
J'avais pourtant des bons souvenirs de celle-ci.

Les frites de ma poutine étaient blanches & certaines pas cuites entièrement. 😮?💨

Je crois qu'ils ne fournissent pas pour la cuisson avec l'achalandage… & pourtant c'était pas si pire quand j'y étais.
