Montreal Poutine shows up in reviews as a strong, comfort-focused destination in Old Montreal, offering huge portions of poutine in a warm, rustic setting with a courtyard vibe and stone walls that many describe as charming. The menu items such as smoked meat poutine and fried chicken poutine are consistently praised for rich gravy, squeaky cheese curds, and fries that stay crisp; portions are often ample enough to share and are considered good value for the price. The atmosphere and service receive frequent compliments, with friendly, attentive staff and a lively ambiance noted, though some visits mention slower service, busy crowds, or occasional missteps like a spill or delays. A recurring practical note is that tap water is not provided and bottled water is the default option, which some guests find disappointing on top of higher prices. Despite occasional drawbacks, most reviews emphasize a positive experience, with many saying the experience is memorable and that Montreal Poutine remains a go-to spot for authentic Quebec comfort food in a historic, courtyard setting.
First order of business when in Montreal. Because it's pouring & there's no line here, & it's poutine. To our surprise, the food came out delicious & full of flavors (not sure why the rating is low). Service was quick & the servers were very helpful with their recommendations & friendly. We ordered two: smoked meat sandwich which has the right amount of seasonings & saltiness & fried chicken poutine. They're both yum & delicious!
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.
Got the 2 hotdogs with poutine & coleslaw l. The hotdogs weren't anything special (though they were good), however the fries for the poutine were cooked to perfection. Would recommend to stop by if you're in Montreal
Sat outside was a bit hot that day but it ended up cooling down as there isn't a lot of a breeze in the courtyard so be forewarned However the drinks are delicious, the smoked meat poutine is something I would highly recommend it is quite salty because of all the salty things that are a part of it but I devoured it Staff was friendly & very helpful & I'd definitely go back
In a lively neighboirhood, sitting in their outside patio is a great choice, it's beautiful & tucked away from the street. Smoked meat sandwich is great tasting but smaller than what you would expect. Fries are nice & crispy. Service was a bit strange, had to request napkins, cutlery, etc, one would assume that would just be set up for us at the table.

Ok experience, no more. There's a terrace to enjoy food outside however we weren't able to enjoy it because the staff didn't agree to move tables together for a group of 5. We ate inside on the 2nd floor & it was ok to move the tables together over there. The service was slow. They have a few poutines available & I was pleasantly surprised by the fried chicken one. Unfortunately, they do not offer glasses of water. They offer bottles of water for 4$ & I refuse to support the bottles water economy where potable/drinking water is available. The bathroom weren't gross but they would've benefited from cleaning & emptying the bins. It felt like they were understaffed even though it wasn't particularly busy. I was glad that there was no line up for a place in a tourist area.
The Poutine gravy is good, but the fries are little bit over cook, you can taste bitter, quite disappointed because they label themselves first in poutine. Hot dog is normal, not bad!! Service are good, environment is classic!! There is a very funny thing is the air conditioning system hanging on the second floor wall outside keep making very noisy sound & shaking like going to drop down immediately, hahaha.
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.
Beautiful place to have your first poutine experience. Not many gluten-free options, but our waitress was beyond kind & suggested their fried onion poutine without gravy, & we were incredibly satisfied! Creative, caring, & delicious. Oh, & amazing locally brewed beer! Will return!
Enjoyed a classic poutine in the evening - the fries & cheese were delightful. The side aisle tables offered pleasant outdoor views adorned with hanging money plants. The ambient lighting added to the overall experience.
A cool spot overlooking the street. The service was decent - not great but not bad. The staff was friendly. We had the poutine & it was delicious. It was my first poutine, so I can’t confidently say it was the best without trying others, but it was very good.

Had a wonderful experience here last saturday night. You walk into the open air space & it is stunning. The tree, the bar - gorgeous.
We had the best poutine of our trip here & my goodness it was flavorful. The cheese chunks were so delicious & don't get me started on the flavor of the gravy. It was a "lighter" sauce that wasn't thick so it didn't weigh everything down & overfill you. It perfectly complimented the food without getting it soggy.
Our server, Tao (I hope I spelled it right!) was extremely friendly & courteous. The bartender, Ava, made one of the, if not THE best Long Island I've ever had (& I make them at my own bar all the time :") ) I got to speak with her briefly about the bar & drinks & she was also very friendly even though they were closing.
Overall it was a great experience in every way. The staff, the environment, the quality of the food: A+
The poutine here is pretty good, I only wish the toppings were incorporated a bit more with the fries. It was a little difficult to eat since it was piled so high & the fries were on the bottom. Service here was polite but a bit slow. All in all I would recommend if you're looking for poutine.
It was our first time visiting this place & it was great. Our server Emma was super friendly & welcoming, she patiently explained the menu for us & cleared all questions we had. Thank you for your amazing service Emma �
