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.
Saw this spot from a Montreal local on YouTube & he was right, one of the most unorthodox but quality poutine you will ever have. I ordered a small Portuguese poutine & thank god I did because I barely finished the small. Really good bang for your buck & the Portuguese twist is a good thing to add to your Montreal list of spots to eat before you leave!
The poutine was ridiculously big & pretty good. It really all depends on whether you like their sauce, because it was on everything we ordered. You get lots of food & it is pretty good, but there is a line out the door & way too few seats for everyone. & it's very hot inside because they are grilling up the chicken right there & the AC can't keep up with that & all the people. My baby had to sit in my lap because there wasn't a highchair for her, or even a regular chair. I'd recommend taking this to go & ordering less than you think because the portions are huge. Ultimately I was just too hot & cramped to enjoy myself
When you go on a Monday evening & you find a lineup to enter a restaurant, you must know that the food is going to be delicious. It is delicious & I do recommend other people to give it a visit.
Get the small! The sizing & portions of food given is HUGE. I got #11 Chorizo & chicken salad -- I really enjoyed the amount of onions given & loads of meat with it. It was a great surprise. My friends got the chorizo & chicken poutine... watching them eat made me full. The dessert was good if you're looking for a sweet treat! Overall great money value for the portions!
The line was 30 minutes in the afternoon of a Sunday. I expected more for the reviews of the chicken however the sauce was the star of the show of the poutine. The fries kept crispy for a long time. The tables do not get wiped for a while due to how busy they are so I would take the food & eat elsewhere. Would also order the egg tarts!
Despite a bit of a wait to get in, it was worth it. The chicken sandwich & poutine were both good. The portions were generous, & the prices were quite reasonable.
I've been coming here for years & it's definitely one of our favorite casual spots in town. That being said - the chicken is hit or miss. I came here for Mother's day & the chicken was incredible it was juicy, well seasoned, not overcooked. Everyone in our family raved about it. I came again today to grab food for my family on Father's Day & the chicken was very dry, overcooked & poorly seasoned. Either way the price is right, the employees are friendly & efficient & we will keep supporting them. I highly suggest it to everyone
The poutine here was so, so good. The chicken & chorizo were elite, the cheese curds squeaky, & the fries didn't get soggy with the gravy until over 20 min after. I'd have to come back to get just the chicken too. The egg tarts were really good, comparable to what I've had in Portugal.
