About

Montreal Poutine delivers an authentic interpretation of Quebec culinary traditions through a focused menu centered on fresh ingredients. Hand-cut potatoes undergo precise frying to achieve an ideal golden texture, providing a structural base for thick, savory gravy. The inclusion of squeaky, high-quality cheese curds ensures the essential pull and richness expected by local enthusiasts. Smoked meat offerings feature slow-cured beef brisket sliced thin to preserve tenderness and seasoning intensity. This establishment prioritizes the classic composition of these staple dishes, emphasizing proper ratios of potato to sauce and cheese. Patrons encounter a straightforward environment where the engineering of the poutine remains the primary technical objective. Every preparation adheres to established regional standards, prioritizing ingredient integrity over unnecessary culinary embellishment or complex plating techniques throughout the diverse selection of menu variants.

Montreal Poutine is widely celebrated as a must-visit destination in Old Montreal, particularly cherished for its delicious, authentic poutine and generous portion sizes. Many diners highlight the excellent variety of toppings, such as the popular smoked meat and fried chicken options, paired with crispy fries and squeaky cheese curds.

Wife & went here for lunch this afternoon. Our first trip to Montreal. The greeter was sweet, the waitress was very polite & got our food quickly. Ordered drinks & the salad jardins & the smoked meat poutine. It was awesome & delicious. Great atmosphere & found a & gargoyle staring down at us in the outdoor area. Would recommend this spot. Very pleasant experience indeed.

Would not serve tap water. ~$4 charged per small bottle.

If they change their policy I'd review the rest, but that was what set the tone for experience.

A great choice for savory poutine. A single order is plenty for two people to share. There are several varieties to select & enjoy.

We came back this year because the poutine was great when we tried it a year back. But the food was disappointing this time around. The food took too long to come & the poutine served was pretty lukewarm, the gravy almost congealing again. Not a good experience.

We were 9 people traveling from the US. The greeter dissuaded us from even going upstairs. He had several conditions like having at least 1/2 the number of orders I.e. 5 orders. It was ok. But then he said there is a mandatory additional service charge & then the tip! All through maintaining a stone face & making us feel we were not welcome.

Got one to take out just to taste & it was one of the worst poutines!!! Stay away!!!

I really liked the Montreal smoked meat sandwich platter. The meat was very close to a Pastrami with a little smoked flavor. Very very good. Came with fries that tou could upgrade to Poutine, coleslaw & pickles. Loved it.

honestly, my friend & i came from toronto to montreal to visit & decided to try this place out. the food was amazing but our experience went bad when the male server came to give us the bill & saw that i tipped 18% (which was fair given that we only got one poutine & didn't talk to the servers) & he started questioning me about the service in a rude tone & threw our receipt at us. this was extremely disappointing especially because he was NOT our server. won't be back here.
