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.
This is the spot right here! I cannot travel to Montréal without a visit to Montréal Poutine. This was my first time visiting my fav poutine spot in Montreal during the winter season. We sat upstairs & loved it. This spot provides such a welcoming energy with wonderful staff & some good music. The music's on point as it brings you back to what some of us would consider back-in-the-day tunes from - Cindy Lauper, Boy George, George Michael (RIP), Prince (RIP), Duran Duran, & Madonna, to name a few. The ones you just find yourself singing along to. Our entire table sang a couple of times - I caught them! 😂 . My partner ordered a hot dog with his poutine one, of my friends ordered a burger, & the rest of us ordered different poutines. No one was disappointed- yessss! The worst is when you big up a restaurant & your peeps are like, next! That is not the case here at Montréal Poutine because the food is on point! Best poutine in Montréal, in my humble opinion. This visit on March 5th was great, & our server (the young man who had the Jordan's on) was lovely - you would swear we knew him. But nah, just a nice human. If you have the chance to visit, please do. The vibe in the summer is even better!!! Something special about this space. If you don't believe me, make space & time for a visit! Thanks Montréal Poutine for existing. Can't wait to visit Montréal in the summer just so I can get me some smoked meat poutine! P.s. sitting down is a must because it's a vibe. In fact, a complete vibe. Go head with your ongoing yumminess Montréal Poutine! & see you soon. A customer from out of town that bigs you up on a regular!

Really cozy & rustic atmosphere with amazing poutine. Great option for those going to old Montreal. Eva was very accommodating & thoughtful in helping us choose the best food options & giving us tips for places to check out in Montreal!
This is charming restaurant in a busy tourist area. The drinks were delicious & so was the smoked meat poutine. The waitstaff were friendly & service was quick. We found it to be a very satisfying experience.
Très déçu de ce restaurant qui devrait représenter la fierté de notre repas fétiche. Leur fromage est bas de gamme. Si tu t'appelle Montréal Poutine tu dois avoir les meilleurs ingrédients point final.
Nous avons été déçu de notre passage récent. Pour 15$, les cocktails spéciaux de Noël étaient très petits, les plus petits verres qu'on ne m'ait jamais servi dans un bar. & la poutine n'était pas faite avec du vrai fromage "squick squick", ça ressemblait à du cheddar. Quelle déception pour un endroit dont la spécialité est la poutine. & je n'ai jamais vu un endroit où on ne sert pas de l'eau gratuitement (4$ pour une bouteille d'eau!) Le service était également très long malgré que la place n'était pas bondée. Le poulet grillé sur la salade était bon. Pour le prix payé, ça ne valait pas la qualité reçue. Je ne recommande pas ce restaurant. Ça me semble une attrape à touriste.
We stumbled upon this gem along our walk today in the old port. The portions are massive. We are a bit of poutine snobs & this poutine is top!! The fries are perfectly crispy & the cheese is fresh. Portions are massive & price is reasonable. The smoked meat sandwich was also delish! A great spot for a quick bite without breaking the bank.

We visited this restaurant for the first time in 2018 & since then we come there every time we visit Montreal, meaning several times a year. I have never been disappointed with their poutine & cocktails. The atmosphere is very nice too. Especially, in summer, on the terrace. They add seasonal options to the cocktail list every season.
We dined at Montréal poutine & enjoyed our food & experience very much! The poutine was delicious & so was the garden salad with grilled chicken. The waitstaff was very friendly!
It's on the second floor & might be missed walking down St Paul street. Inside is nice, a bit rustic but you can view the street down below if you're seated near the windows. Poutine is one of the best I've had around & really enjoyed it, beers were also good, really a shame that they don't serve tap water & the small bottle of water costs 4$, only place in a Montreal where I didn't get served free water, funny that it comes with ice cubes in the glass so clearly there are no problems with the tap :) . I'd drop this practice since is really not worth the bad reviews, poutine were great, maybe a couple of dollars too expensive considering that you pay for everything. Will come back but I'll have to maybe sneak in my own water.
Yum yum yum. Service was great, the poutine options were great, bathrooms were clean & the drinks were cold. Was an excellent place to split some poutine & warm up from the cool outside. Just a few steps from the road to get an Uber.
