Ouf vraiment décevant, parmi les pires poutines que j'ai jamais mangé. Je ne comprends pas le hype pour cet endroit. Les frites étaient brulées & le fromage froid, même pas du vrai fromage squik-squik. Le poulet etait ok, mais s'il vous plaît, évitez la poutine
Dans un petit local débordant de clients, il y a peu de place pour déguster dans le restaurant. Il faut être patient car il y a souvent une ligne d'attente à la porte.
L'expérience est, je crois, plus satisfaisante quand vous commandez pour sortir & que vous aller déguster chez vous ou en picnic au parc Lafontaine. Le service est sympathique, les prix raisonnables.
Quant à l'expérience gustative, nous avons mangé plusieurs fois, à 4 ou 5, la bouffe de Ma poule. Le poulet est habituellement très bon, la poutine portugaise copieuse & savoureuse. Nous aimons beaucoup la sauce piquante que nous commandons en extra. Nous avons cependant été déçu par les calmars.
En bref, une expérience montréalaise satisfaisante!

Unfortunately, this was not worth the hype, & I would not recommend it. After years of wanting to try it, I was really disappointed.
The sauce on the chicken was honestly disgusting. It tasted like there was wine or some kind of alcohol that hadn't cooked off, & it didn't taste like Portuguese chicken at all. The sauce in the poutine was better in the sense that it was actually edible & didn't have that strong, pungent taste, but it still wasn't anything special.
The chicken from the plate was dry, as were the fries. We asked for spicy, but it wasn't spicy at all. Even my son wouldn't eat the chicken or fries.
After waiting so long to finally try it, I was extremely disappointed. Definitely not worth waiting in line for, in my opinion.
Great spot for fresh & yummy Portuguese rotisserie chicken & poutine! As soon as you walk it the aroma hits you & you can see the chicken being roasted.
Après avoir lu les commentaires sur Instagram, disant que c'était l une des meilleurs poutine de Montréal, on a voulu goûter. Les enfants ont adoré nous pas du tout. C'est des frites Avec une sauce brune, comme ils disent ( Apparemment, il s'agit de bouillon de boeuf ) du poulet grillé & du chorizo ( je dirais plutôt du saucisson). Dessus, il rajoute du fromage qu'il s'appelle Squick squick . Amateur de fromage fuyez ! Bref, si vous voulez goûter pour la première fois une poutine allez-y.- Si vous voulez vous régalez choisissez autre chose. Par contre cette adresse doit vraiment être connue, il y avait une quarantaine de personnes qui attendaient juste sur le trottoir. Si vous commandez prévoyez du à emporter, il n'y a quasiment pas de place.
Chicken is flavourful & juicy & seasoned really well. The prices are very reasonable considering it is tax included. The lines are always long so it takes a bit of time to get food, but it's worth the wait.
We ordered the whole chicken & the poutine with everything on it. Everything was lip smacking good & so flavorful. We lucked out with no line when we got there. Service was super fast. Our food was ready about 3 minutes after we ordered. The sauce was so good we got some to take home. By the time we left, there was a line around the corner. I'd say still worth the wait for the deliciousness.
Chicken looked & smelled good but the breast part was flavourless & then the dark meat was too salty. You gotta figure out how to not over season the dark meat & under-season the breast. Poutine was ok. Food was extremely greasy. The tarts were good.
