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.

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. The restaurant offers a unique atmosphere, with many guests praising the beautiful, hidden courtyard and the historic, cozy charm of the building. While the experience is generally defined by friendly, efficient, and welcoming service, some patrons note that the popularity of the location can occasionally lead to busy service periods or a focus on bottled water over tap.

Montreal's best poutine in my opinion! The vibe of this spot in Old Montreal is so cute, the chips are fresh & crispy, with the most flavourful gravy & LOADS of cheese curds! The location is surrounded by cute streets to walk off your food coma. Highly recommend this as your poutine spot when you visit Montreal.

Loved the rustic Old Port atmosphere & the wait staff was professional & absolutely wonderful. We were a large group & it was made clear in a friendly & professional manner that there's an automatic gratuity added due to the size of our walk-in party. We were easily accommodated despite it being lunchtime.
The food however...
My only personal issue was the quality of smoke meat on the poutine. It was akin to overcooked minced meat & nothing like MTL smoke meat one would expect (especially for the price). The poutine sauce was as expected, cheese the perfect squeaky-curds & melted. The fries were decent too. Crispy, not the greasy spoon fast food you get from LBP.
I would return for a standard poutine next time maybe but am still quite disappointed with my smoke meat experience :(

No vegan option for poutine on the menu, the gravy contains gluten, not all waiters were able to inform us about allergens & there was no way to look it up, it took 3 people to bring us a QR code to the menu, there was lint in the drink of my partner, I received a different beer than ordered, there was a piece of cheese in my'vegan' poutine, I did not receive onions on my poutine even though it was ordered.

This landmark location is one place to visit when you're in Montreal. The city lends its name to this iconic dish & to this place for a reason … which makes it worth a try, just don't even attempt to think about calories or anything related to healthy food habits. The portions are absolutely huge & if you are able to complete & finish the full smoked meat or sausage version of this gastronomically loaded with cheese & potatoes bomb … you are a member of the select group of die hard foodies who live to eat & not the other way round!
The place is usually full of tourists & seems crowded with makes the whole experience even better or worse depending upon your preference. The service is okayish & since the purpose is to stuff yourself with super fatty yet absolutely delicious to die food you just have to dive into the plate & forget about everything else around you… bon-appetite!

We stumbled upon this gem along our walk today in the old port. The portions are massive. We are a bit of poutine snobs & this poutine is top!! The fries are perfectly crispy & the cheese is fresh. Portions are massive & price is reasonable. The smoked meat sandwich was also delish! A great spot for a quick bite without breaking the bank.

Poutine lacked cheese & was quite plain. I like food with some flavours that make it interesting. A little surprised that you cannot get simple tap water instead are required to buy a $4 water. For a place that serves alcohol that is not in line with the liquor codes. Service was slow & took forever to get the bill.

Crispy fries, rich gravy, & gooey cheese curds are a match made in heaven. Friendly staff & a laid-back atmosphere make it a must-visit for poutine lovers.

By sheer coincidence, we stumbled upon this poutine restaurant (which also serves alcohol). While wandering in Old Montreal, we decided to take a break here. We ordered two beers & a poutine to share, & it was absolutely delicious! The fries, coated in gravy, remained crispy, & combined with the cheese curds, it was divine. The service was also excellent; everyone was prompt & friendly. I believe they deserve even higher praise for their food & service. However, the beer prices might be a tad high, but still manageable. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in Montreal.
