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.
The poutine is the best I've ever had (as a québécois that says a lot) & the chicken was so good I had to buy the sauce & seasoning mix immediately after. I always recommend my friends to come here when they visit the city.
What an awesome spot!! Best chicken we have EVER tasted, hands down! So fast, friendly, & the value is amazing, huge portions! If we could give it 6 stars, we would!!!
RUN, don't walk to Ma Poule Mouillee!!
I have never try so delicious Portuguese Meal like Ma Poule Mouillée. If I could give them 10 Starts I would. To bad im not from Montréal. Toronto is Home.

For the price point, you get a TON of food which is always a plus. However, the chicken was on the drier side & mild in flavour. Maybe my expectations were too high? I did skip out on the poutine so maybe that would've been the highlight of the meal. I got the half chicken with salad & fries - fries would've definitely been better as poutine. On their own, they were not very good.
I also wish service was more helpful. As first time visitors, it was a bit overwhelming to order, & the lady taking our order was very distracted & wasn't helpful in her recommendations.
Best poutine in Montreal. I dare say that it might beat La Banquise across the street. I got their chicken chorizo poutine & the fries were great. For the price of a small size, I didn't expect a heaping tower. I was completely full & satisfied. My friend & I went on a Sunday around lunch time so there was a line but service moved fast.
Went early so no line ups, lots of seating available but we went in February, when the weather improves I can see it getting busier. Chicken was amazing. I felt the poutine was better than the famous place across the street. Highly recommended, I will definitely return when I visit Montreal next

Ce resto a probablement le meilleur poulet portugais en villle. Tout est bon. Il a détrôné un autre classique depuis longtemps. La poutine avec chorizo, poulet & épicé de Ma Poule Mouilée est bien meilleure que l'ensemble des poutine du voisin en transversal.
An old friend took me here when he was in town & I was blown away. Best portuguese food I've had since I was in Portugal!
We had huge plates of perfect rotisserie chicken, Fries, Salad. All proper food which speaks right to your soul.
Table space was limited but the two of us were able to share a 4 top with another pair of friends & the four of us ended up chatting about life while we had our meals together. It felt very human to be able to share a meal with strangers like that. Overall experience was great & I'll definitely show this place to my friends.
We travelled from Toronto to Montreal to try their famous poutine. But it wasn't anything special, you can get the same taste literally anywhere.. It was good but nothing special.
