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.

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.

Rude server, gave attitude, took so long to get our drink (mind you I had a canned soda) & our food, asked us why we didn't tip when the service was HORRIBLE & proceeded to give us attitude. They didn't check up on us once till we had NO food left on our table & then asked if we needed anything else. The servers completely ignored us & we're talking to anyone & everyone but us (it was us & 2 other tables). Not a place for good service.

0/5 stars. Absolutely do not waste your time or money here.
We ordered two poutines & they completely forgot the second one. We had to bug the staff multiple times just to get our drinks & the rest of our food.
When the poutine finally showed up, it was a total disaster. There was barely any gravy. Just a pool of watery liquid at the bottom of the bowl (Italian poutine). The cheese curds felt like they were pulled straight out of the fridge, totally cold & un-melted.
If you're in the Old Port & craving a good poutine, skip this tourist trap. Walk a little farther out of the area for the real deal, you'll thank yourself later. Don't let the name fool you, there's nothing authentic about this place.

I was there with 3 friends after a long drive from Ajax so we were hungry.

The server took our drink order & it never arrived. They were nice & moved us to a larger table when the 4th member of our party arrived.

We ordered drinks again (they charge for water as only bottled available) & poutine. The poutine was delicious.

We waited a long time for our bills. It was busy but they seemed to have lots of servers around so not sure why there was such a delay.

We were looking for a place to sit & relax with a drink & some poutine after lots of walking. The man outside asked if we wanted to sit outside or up inside with a street view. We chose the inside street view. It was nice & cool which was perfect. The poutine was very good & a large portion. The drinks were excellent as well. Ismael took amazing care of us. He was the best! Don't hesitate to go here to relax with some good food & drink!

Poor service, had to wait forever to be seated. Then additional 20 mins get server. We got our food pretty quick & the poutine was mediocre, then had to wait some more to finally get our drinks after our food was served. Needless to say, will not be going here again.

I've walked in front of this place a million times & told myself tonight was the night, I was in the mood for a good poutine & with a name like Montreal Poutine, you can't go wrong, right?

It was alright...

Nothing to write home about. The gravy was your typical BBQ-style St-Hubert grocery store variety. Fries were OK. Cheese was squeaky, at least.

Patio & music were amazing, though.

Would go back for drinks.

Best poutine in Montreal & excellent service!! It is a little hidden, & on a second floor, but the ambiance feels almost like a speakeasy. A true hidden gem. I got poutine with smoke meats, & they let me drink my tea from home!!! Would recommend to anyone who is visiting Montreal & would like to try their coveted poutine.
