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.
Without a doubt, the best poutine in the Old Port. The fries are never soft. My favorite is the Italian Poutine, which comes with ground beef on top & is delicious. They don't serve tap water there because the pipes are old, so take advantage & order another drink. If you go inside, upstairs, you have a beautiful view of Rue St. Paul. However, the stairs are old & the steps are short. I don't recommend it for people with mobility issues. The downstairs is nice & quite pleasant, but I don't know if it's open in the winter. I've only been there in the summer (it was wonderful). The poutines are one of the best in the area (around $17.50). I recommend it!
Restaurant en terasse sympa . Jolie décors. La poutine est bonne & généreuse mais pour l assiette smoked meat c'est vraiment décevant. (Un petit sandwich avec du smoked meat & derrière beaucoup trop de frite pour remplir l'assiette. ) Attention l'Eau est payante !!!( le seul qu'on a fais en 14 jours !!) Les serveuses sont sympas mais Manque un peu la langue du pays en les écoutants. Un choix large de cocktail .

Extremely unpleasant experience. I came here with 3 friends & we were seated at a small table. My friend & I are very tall people 6foot & 6foot 3 & were extremely uncomfortable at the table. We all felt very crammed like we couldn't move. We end up moving to a table next to ours with more space. Later the hostess comes & informs us we can't move tables- mind you THERE ARE MULTIPLE FREE TABLES. I tell her that we can barely fit at that table & it's ruining our experience & she said that tables with more seats need to be left if a bigger group of people come. I'd understand if the restaurant was slammed but I don't think a surge of people were coming & it's also a poutine establishment u don't spend more than an hour there anyways. We were then moved to a high top where the air conditioning was dripping on me (it was hot & I know it's out of there control but u probably shouldn't have a table there then) & also our table was so dirty - wasn't wiped down at all. It was disgusting. The poutine here is good but there are equally good places on every corner of Montreal. Also as time went on there were more tables available & we could've comfortable sat at a bigger table with no issues lol
Good Poutine for the price! One of the best in town I've heard. But one interesting fact is that is good for the price & quality. Two people can easily have it.
Poutine très décevante. Les frites étaient ordinaires, le fromage en maigre quantité & goûtait comme si il avait été conservé au réfrigérateur. La sauce était claire & peu goûteuse. J'ai pris la poutine aux oignons frits, les oignons étaient graisseux & sans assainissement. Par contre le service est très bon & attentionné. Mais pour la bouffe, je ne recommande pas cet endroit du tout.
Visited this place because of google suggestions, tried poutine & mocktail, food & drink was good however service was very unpleasant, it felt like person at the front didn't want us there.
We've been trying different poutines across Montreal & Quebec City, so we opted to try this one, sitting in the heart of Old Montreal city. We chose to sit indoors instead of the patio as the sun was heavy & hot that day. We ordered one ($15.99) to share with two drinks. A peach juice & a blue raspberry slushie. ($35 taxes included) The poutine was meh average, nothing special & not at all a show stopper to write home about. The gravy tasted the same as Harvey's poutine. Yes, I'm not proud that I'm comparing to Harvey's gravy but Yes, I'm dead serious! The peach juice was nice & refreshing, but the slushie had a DEAD BEE crushed with the ice!! It was absolutely disgusting to find AFTER my guest finished her drink!! All they did was remove the drink from the bill & apologized. The wooden tables & chairs & dining space in the upstairs dinette was cozy & nice bright from the sun.
Poutine lacked cheese & was quite plain. I like food with some flavours that make it interesting. A little surprised that you cannot get simple tap water instead are required to buy a $4 water. For a place that serves alcohol that is not in line with the liquor codes. Service was slow & took forever to get the bill.
The food was great, but the overall experience was disappointing. We ordered two poutines, which totaled $50 (a steep price for what is essentially a plate of fries). Because of this, we decided not to leave a tip, but the server became visibly upset & left in a huff (didn't even say bye). We understand the importance of tipping, but after spending $50 on fries, their reaction was excessive & out of place!! It's unfortunate because the food was good, but the service left us feeling unwelcome & uncomfortable.

Merci pour cette superbe expérience ! La poutine est vraiment délicieuse, le personnel est top & l'ambiance vraiment géniale. La musique, la terrasse boisée est très agréable 😊 On remercie tout particulièrement Théo, notre serveur qui a été adorable & très serviable ! Un grand merci
This is the first place we visited for food on a recent trip to Montreal, & boy were we glad. The food was absolutely delicious, the garden patio between the walls of the buildings was beautiful, the service was spot on, all in all it was the perfect choice. If you want Poutine in Old Montreal, try this place, we loved it!
Funky old building. For a place with poutine in the title, it was quite meh. & expensive for our meal vs the quality. Smoked meat sandwich tasted okay but it was very small for the price. Hot dog was just a steamer but on a nice bun. Poutine portions were good, but the taste wasn't great.
When visiting Montreal, I was told to try your famous dish poutine. Therefore I visited this specific spot just for the poutine. To be honest, it was a very savory dish. I did like it though, but I'm not a big fan of it. Follow me for more on Instagram @naturalhaitravele
