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.
Mid restaurant in my opinion. The location was nice, we got seated next to the window so the view was great but the food was so so. The poutine was a bit too salty & the chicken seemed to be cooked for a bit too long.
In the heart of Vieux Montreal, this odd s as place to enjoy the famous local poutine.
Me?
I chose the Putin with smoked meat, & was terrific.
You?
Well, come, make your choice & share your experience.
Pleasant retro vibe, great service & probably the most savoury poutine we ever had - surprising gem in a rather touristy area, we loved this place. Particularly recommend the smoked meat poutine.
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.
Excellent poutine, highly recommend ordering one. It's a bit on the expensive side compared to others, but the generous portion makes it worthwhile. My only comment is that this is the ONLY restaurant I went to in Quebec that does not give you free water (tap water) they only have water bottles, which I did not like.
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!
