Review Summary

Ma Poule Mouillée is widely celebrated for its exceptional charcoal-grilled Portuguese chicken, which is consistently described as juicy, tender, and incredibly flavorful. Many visitors consider the Portuguese-style poutine, topped with generous portions of chicken and chorizo, to be a standout dish and a Montreal must-try, offering remarkable value for its massive portion sizes. While the restaurant is often very busy, leading to inevitable queues and limited seating, the service remains impressively fast and efficient. Many patrons recommend ordering for takeout to enjoy at a nearby park, especially during peak hours. Though experiences can occasionally vary regarding seasoning or wait times, the overall consensus is that the high-quality food and generous quantities make it a highly recommended dining destination.

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.

FONCEZ !!! Si vous voulez un bon poulet bien tendre c'est votre endroit ! Les quantités sont généreuses & petit plus pour les pasteis de nata qui vous font terminer ce magnifique repas en apothéose !

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.

Best chicken poutine in all of Montreal in my opinion

Le pain des bifanas est un peu rassis, la viande de porc est coriace & mal cuite :/ une petite déception pour nous qui sommes portugais :( Le personnel est néanmoins sympathique.

Si vous ne devez faire qu'une poutine à Montréal, ça doit être celle de ma Poule Mouillée. La queue devant le restaurant en dit long sur la réputation (non usurpée) de l'établissement. La poutine poulet/chorizo est vraiment excellente. Les prix sont très corrects & les quantités Énormes... une grande assiette pour deux est largement suffisante. Les plaisirs sucrés sont également tops avec quelques desserts typiquement portugais (& oui le chef est portugais !) comme les fameuses pasteis de nata.
