Montreal Poutine consistently draws praise for hearty portions and a variety of poutines, especially smoked meat and fried chicken, with many guests finding the gravy and cheese curds satisfying and the portions generous. The Old Montreal courtyard setting and upbeat service contribute to a memorable vibe, though some visits note inconsistent speed and attentiveness, occasional missteps, and that water is not always offered, which affects value for some diners. Overall, the spot is regarded as a reliable choice for classic Montreal comfort food and a must-try for visitors, albeit with the caveats of tourist crowds, price, and variable service.
Travelled to Montreal from Ontario for a work convention. Arrived with a large group & they did an amazing job accommodating us. They sat us in a private room, were so friendly & quick to serve such a large group. The food was incredible, thank you Jenna & staff!!!
Had lunch here today with a group of 20 people & they were able to accommodate us even though it was last minute. The service was excellent & Jenna was very friendly. The food was great they had really generous portions. Would definitely recommend!
Wow! This is an impressive poutine, which is a bold statement for a city famous for its poutines. First & foremost, it was delicious!! The portion is huge, the service is great, the outdoor terrace is fantastic & the price is very reasonable for the giant portion of fries, cheese, gravy & smoked meat in the one I ordered. Big menu full of options for everyone, I highly recommend.
This is hands down the best fries I've ever had. We're talking about poutine - & this place takes it to another level. Perfectly crispy, freshly cut fries, rich & flavorful gravy, & fresh cheese that ties everything together - an absolute explosion of taste.
On top of that, the staff is incredibly friendly & welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better.
Honestly, one of the best places I've ever tried. Highly, highly recommend - you have to try it!

No tap water? that's just cheapskate. I was used to come here with my friends & family who come visit me, but I'm not coming back again. The ambience & food is very low average. Luckily there's better options around.
We only got the regular poutine & that was good choice. The curds were melted the gravy was nice- I wish it was just a bit hotter. The portions were quite generous for their prices. Two people could definitely share one. There just wasn't really something that stuck out to me that set it aside from over poutine places. I will say that for the touristy part of Montréal it was in, it had very fast service & the hostess' were extremely kind & friendly.
Poutine Montreal truly lives up to its reputation for having some of the best fried chicken in Montreal-crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, & full of flavor. Absolutely loved it!
I was also pleasantly surprised by their customized rum + hot water + honey drink-I ordered it for a sore throat, & it was honestly amazing & very comforting. Such a thoughtful & warming touch.
The only downside was the hot chocolate, which didn't quite meet expectations.
Overall, great food, excellent fried chicken, & a memorable experience. Would definitely come back again! 🍗🥃
Cute place in old town for a heaping portion of poutine! The fried chicken was great - & could have fed two. Probably for tourists for than locals but very festive for Christmas time! Great service
We came here with a large group (16) they were very accommodating & set us up in the back room. The Montreal smoked meat poutine leaves nothing to be desired… mmmmm. The staff was very friendly & helpful. This is an upstairs restaurant with a narrow staircase to get up to it.
We were admiring the stone walls & our son asked how old the building was. They said over 200 years, so that is pretty special.

This was our first experience with poutine & it did not disappoint! Everything was so delicious & we had plenty to share. Our server was friendly & gave us some great recommendations (the poutine with fried chicken was so good)! Highly recommend, will definitely come back on our next trip to Montreal!
