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.
We ordered take out chicken, poutine, & salad. The salad was great, fresh & lightly dressed. The poutine was everything you expect, & the chicken was delicious, well seasoned & perfectly cooked.

J'ai commandé le demi-poulet chez Ma Poule Mouillée & c'était absolument délicieux ! Le personnel était gentil & accueillant, & l'ambiance chaleureuse & animée a rendu l'expérience encore meilleure. Tout était parfait : la nourriture, le service & l'atmosphère. Je recommande vivement !
I ordered the half chicken at Ma Poule Mouillée & it was absolutely delicious! The staff were kind & welcoming, & the warm, lively atmosphere made the experience even better. Everything was perfect-great food, great service, & a great vibe. Highly recommended!
The poutine here looks great at first glance, but unfortunately, it really lacked flavor. It felt like it was missing some key ingredients to bring it all together. After finishing it, I was left feeling thirsty & unsatisfied. Honestly, you're better off heading across the street to Kawha - much better food & a way more satisfying experience.
This is my favorite Portuguese chicken ever! The prices went up a little but still the best deal for the best portuguese chicken!Very highly recommended!
Fun, college vibe with amazing food! The chicken was moist & the skin was so crispy! We also enjoyed the chorizo, sandwich, poutine, & tart. Definitely recommend.

I visited around 8:00 pm on a Saturday, so it was pretty busy, but the line moved quickly. It took about 10-15 minutes from getting in line to receiving my order. I got the iconic poutine & a pastel de nata.
Poutine: My god, everything about this poutine was amazing. It was like a sample of everything Ma Poule Mouillée has to offer. The fries were thick & crispy, though a lot did get soggy from the gravy. The gravy itself had amazing flavor. The chorizo was bomb. The curds had a great chew. But the best part was the chicken -- extremely tender & smoky, hands down, the best chicken I've ever had. With all those fries & meat & curds & the gravy, you'd think it'd be super salty, but it wasn't. I got a small & it was HUUUUUGE, it lasted a few meals for me.
Pastel de nata: Highly recommend getting one. You get a nice caramelized taste from the top of the custard. The custard itself had a rosy flavor too, & it was so thick & smooth. It was probably a few hours old, but it still had a crispy & flaky crust, & the bottom had a scorched flavor that was actually pretty tasty.
Le meilleur poulet Portugais au Québec. Très savoureux. Prix super bon. Service rapide. Plusieurs le prenne take out mais il y a quelques places pour manger à l intérieur. Je recommande fortement ce resto le détour vaut vraiment la peine.
Ma poule mouillée était sur ma liste de restos à essayer depuis longtemps & j'ai enfin eu la chance d'y aller récemment. À mon arrivée j'étais très excitée d'essayer la poutine avec du poulet & chorizo. Il y avait une file à l'extérieur mais le service est rapide & le temps a passé vite. Les prix sont raisonnables parce que les portions sont énormes & incluent les taxes! Par contre, j'ai été déçue de ma poutine. Le poulet était super bon, tendre & pas sec du tout (mais il y avait des morceaux de cartilage). Par contre, j'ai trouvé que le chorizo était simplement ok & la sauce très bof. Le fromage était excellent. Je n'ai même pas réussi à manger la moitié de mon assiette avant de me sentir très pleine. Je ne reviendrai pas mais je suis contente d'avoir essayé ma poule mouillée!
