Ma Poule Mouillée draws long lines and a bustling atmosphere, but is widely praised for enormous portions, strong value, and a signature mix of Portuguese rotisserie chicken and creative poutines topped with chorizo and bold sauces. The chicken is described as juicy and smoky from the charcoal grill, the fries are crispy, and the poutine can easily feed two or more, with many noting that the dish embodies a satisfying balance of indulgence and flavor. Still, visits can be chaotic with limited seating, crowds, and occasional service hiccups during peak times, and some reports mention cold fries or cartilage in the chicken. Desserts like pasteis de nata are beloved, and takeout or eating in the park is often recommended to dodge the crowd. Overall, the place is considered a must try for those seeking hearty, affordable Portuguese chicken and poutine, with most reviews agreeing that it is one of the best options in town despite the lines.
My favourite poutine if from Poule Mouillée, despite being in front of La Banquise (an iconic poutine place). Line ups can be long, & service at cashier is often chaotic. To speed up, you can order by phone, & eat at Parc Lafontaine, which is a 2 minutes walk away.
Heard about this place for so long I had to try the poutine. The Price & amount is incredible, & it tasted good. Not the best I've ever had but definitely decent & if recommend it. Must come back to eat a non poutine meal.
I love those poutine! I always order #8 from the menu. I find their poutine not sweet which is great chicken & chorizo works great together. I also order their passion fruit soda
The poutine is the best in the city, easily. The prices are fantastic, the portion generous. But for the love of everything that is holy, do something about the lineup. Hire another line-cook or something. The wait times for what is essentially a 4-5 item menu is a bit ridiculous.
The place is always full & long queues outside, so the food speaks for itself. Despite being crowded, the service is fast & the staff is very polite. The only thing to improve is the cleanliness, otherwise a great place to have top notch chicken
Le poulet était parfaitement cuit & délicieux, mais les frites étaient immangeables. Ils devraient revoir leur recette. Servir des frites rassis avec un plat aussi appétissant nuit à l'image du restaurant.

Superb poutine in a small location. Very little seating. Friendly staff. Very busy, expect to queue. Top tip: you do not need the large poutine unless you're a family of four 😁 (picture is of'small', which I still couldn't finish)
Great portion of food for a very fair price. For those who does not know the place. It's a small sized establisment, so you might have to order take out if there are not enough sitted places. Way better option than La Banquise just across the street ( None La Poulet Mouillée sells Rotisserie chicken therefore only 1 choice of poutine) but many chicken meal options
As a lover of Portuguese chicken, I had to try this place & I was not disappointed. The poutine is hands down one of the best deals in the city. The portion size was huge (easily two full, delicious meals), & the flavor balance was spot on. I expected something heavy or greasy, but even with the chorizo, it wasn't overly fatty at all just perfectly rich & flavorful. The chicken itself was excellent, & the service was quick & friendly. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fresh, modern twist on classic poutine.
