Review Summary

Reviews consistently describe Ma Poule Mouillée as a go to spot for generous portions of Portuguese chicken and a standout poutine, with prices that feel like a great value for the amount of food. The chicken is repeatedly praised for being juicy and well seasoned, often charcoal grilled, and the chorizo poutine is a frequent highlight, though some tasters find the poutine heavy or the fries can be cold or soggy if not fresh. Crowds and long lines are common, but service is often fast and staff described as friendly, with a warm, busy atmosphere that keeps the place lively. Desserts and pasteis de nata are noted as a nice finish, and many reviewers mention the value and portion size being suitable for sharing, sometimes with a small poutine enough for two. The casual, affordable vibe near Parc Lafontaine is frequently cited, making Ma Poule Mouillée a trusted choice for those craving authentic Portuguese flavors and a satisfying meal.

Best poutine in Montreal!! Reasonable prices for huge portions that are absolutely delicious!

Excellente rôtisserie portugaise à Montréal avec une poutine à tomber par terre 🍗🧀 !Ironie du sort : elle est juste en face du restaurant le plus populaire pour la poutine… mais honnêtement, la leur est bien meilleure. À ne pas manquer si vous voulez goûter une poutine délicieuse sans faire la file !
⚠? Attention tout de même, manger sur place est extrêmement compliqué, car il y a peu de places assises. En été, profitez-en pour aller la déguster au parc La Fontaine.

First I must say for value this place does it right. Very large portion, it was impossible to finish! Bring tupperware...
However a few things you should bear in mind:
1. Almost nowhere to sit so take out is kind of a must if you want to eat peacefully.
2. Crowds of young snotty people thinking they're all that. Lots of pushing & shoving to get a seat. Also saw people butting in line a lot.
3. Lastly, & more importantly, while the portions are massive, the poutine was a let down. The gravy wasn't super hot so the curds remained as blocks. The chicken was great but there was more fries/curds/chorizo than chicken. My friend had the whole chicken & it was quite nice but again not piping hot. So maybe come during non rush hour & maybe things will be hot.

Tellement d'attention est accordée à la banquise que le restaurant juste en face est souvent négligé alors qu'il mériterait qu'on s'y attarde. La poule mouillé est incroyable autant pour son énorme poutine que pour son délicieux poulet.

Is it even a trip to the Plateau if you don't stop at Ma Poule Mouillée? 🍗🔥 @mapoulemouillee

There's a reason the line is always out the door! From that signature charcoal-grilled Portuguese chicken to what many call the best poutine in Montreal (that spicy chorizo topping is a game changer), every bite is worth the wait. 🍟🧀

Did you know? Ma Poule Mouillée is famously located right across the street from Romados, creating one of the most delicious'chicken rivalries' in the world. Whether you're here for the classic quarter-chicken leg or the massive'Poutine Grande,' you're tasting a true Montreal landmark. 🇨🇦✨

Grab a seat, soak up the smells of the wood-fired grill, & don't forget the extra hot sauce! 🌶?

I recently returned here for the first time in about 10 years & was extremely disappointed. The poutine was not the miracle I tasted the first time & my chicken thigh meal was no better as the chicken just tasted greasy & I could barely taste the spicy piri piri sauce I asked for. The rice I got also tasted very bland.

This was a very strong disappointment for me. I expected them to live up to their fantastic reputation & it didn't even come close.

I'm genuinely baffled.

Incredible food, great service, massive (MASSIVE) portions. The larger poutine was shared between three adults & was still too much to finish.

This was a recommendation from a local cabbie on our way to LA Banquise (sp?) & the suggestion was spot on.

Our spread of pork, chicken, & chorizo was delicious. Best fries we've had in Montreal. I bought one of each of their sauces which I do not have words to describe the flavor it imparted on me. The place filled up quick after we ordered, but the line moved super fast. Incredible.

This place is absolute worst for the reviews & hype . We got whole chicken & 2 chicken poutines. The chicken is tooooo salty (not the sauce but the meat itself ) . Poutines are better at McDonalds than here. Not worth the buck & for the people who saw it on YouTube & want to try. Go try some local places who serve the best poutine . Place is over hyped for the shitty meals they serve

Best portugués chicken in Montreal. Their chicken is moist, carry great flavor & all of their menu options are good so you can't go wrong. The pastels de Nata are out of this world. Service is pretty straightforward, you go & order what you want & go down the line while they prepare it. Easy & convenient.

If I could give 0 star I would!! The poutine was way toooooo salty, so salty that it becomes inedible.. I really really don't understand the hype here cuz it's prob one of the worst poutine I've ever tried in Montreal. La Banquise right in front is much better but my favorite so far is still Alfa hot dog hehe.

Also, texture of the fries was really off too. Some were even undercooked. Avoid this place omg.

Absolute must try when visiting, the portion sizes are huge & the service is great. For $15 you get a humongous plate of food.

The place was bustling with people so you know it's good!
