Exiting Places Des Arts, the La Belle Province on St Catherine is quicker found & has similar food. So the crowds tend to go there, including myself for some time. I'm glad I altered the routine to check out Montreal Pool Room though because this place is a fast food gem. Great place for a taste of traditional Montreal greasy grub. Open late for convenience after a night of partying downtown. Although it is cash only on the inconvenient side. Service is wonderful as well. The walls are adorned with some neat maps & posters going back many years. You can actually learn a neat bit about local history from the hangings on the wall. Happy to support this historic Montreal business.

Great, comforting establishment. Super affordable food, great for late nights. Poutine here is perfectly done with the cheese at the right melting point with the gravy.

Montreal native & decided to head to Montreal Pool Room for the first time. It is expensive. Portions for poutine were disappointing. They're large (12.99$) is more of less the size of a small at La Belle Province. A drink how dog & poutine set me back almost 20$. I'd skip it if you have the chance & find another Casse Croûte because it's not worth the money.

J'ai commandé un Poutine & un hot dog steamer all dress. Les gens avaient tellement l'air bêtes que je me sentais mal de commander l'as bas. La poutine goûtait l'huile usée, les frites étaient brûlées & la portion était ridicule. Le pain du hot dog était complètement mouillé & mouette. Je n'y retournerais probablement jamais.

Montreal Pool Room: A Legendary Experience My visit to the Pool Room was an unforgettable one. The poutine was the best I've ever had, the fries were perfectly crispy, the gravy was like nothing I've tasted before - authentic & delicious. Their all-dressed steamy hotdogs were like a hug from within, with perfectly buttered buns & fresh garnishes. Family ran & operated, The restaurant's history is impressive - it's been around for over a hundred years! I can't wait to go back for more poutine🍁

Première fois dans cet établissement qui n'a plus besoin d'annonce! Je ne sais pas avec quelle huile ils font les frites, mais elles dont différentes de partout ailleurs. Elles ne sont pas grasse, & elles sont croustillantes. Ils n'acceptent que du CASH.
