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.

Review Summary

Montreal Poutine offers a memorable dining experience in a historic setting, featuring generous portions of poutine that many visitors consider among the best they have tasted in the city. The restaurant boasts a cozy, atmospheric interior and a charming terrace that enhances the overall vibe for those exploring Old Montreal. While many guests praise the friendly and accommodating staff, particularly when dealing with large groups, others have noted inconsistent service speeds and a policy requiring the purchase of bottled water instead of offering tap water. Although opinions on price and specific dish quality vary, the restaurant remains a popular destination for those seeking a quintessential, comfort-focused Montreal food experience in a unique, centuries-old building.

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 :(

It was good. It was empty upstairs. They have an outside section which was busy & I think had a nicer atmosphere. Waitress was civil. Not rude but not overly friendly. As the bill was coming I asked for water as we had quite a walk back but she said they only had bottles so had to buy a bottle of eska for 4$ when they charge 2$ down the street. Anyway if someone asked how the meal was I'd say the place is fine.

We found this little gem in the heart of Old Montréal. The good was served hot, delicious, & very quickly. It is a busy spot but everything moves very quickly, so definitely worth the wait. A very cool vibe to enjoy with friends.

Tried the poutine which was good. The sauce was excellent. Fries were ok. But overall one of the better poutines I have had in the city. Also tried the smoke meat platter. Smoke meat was ok. Nothing special. I think what bothered us the most is the WATERED DOWN sangria. $35 for pitcher that has so little actual alcohol. Made it feel like a tourist trap & we live in Montreal. We wouldn't go back.
Service was efficient. Tables are soooo small for 4 people it's ridiculous. Not comfortable to sit, eat & enjoy.

Best place to eat, drink & socialize in Montreal! I couldn't find a negative thing about Montreal Poutine even if I tried! The ambience, the space/decoration, the fast service & the food quality are unparalleled! The staff is amazing! Friendly but discreet, they're at your disposal whenever you need them! They made a great experience even more memorable! We'll definitely make it our « go to » place !

Poutine was not good (fries were cold, gravy was unseasoned) & the service was terrible. We had to ask for water three times. We were never checked on during our meal, literally had to keep flagging down the hostess to come to our table & find our waiter. Way overpriced for the quality of the food - Modavie is down the street & has much better poutine for half the price!
