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.
Not crowded with air conditioning! Their poutine & deli sandwiches are pretty good. The only down side is they don't serve water at all, so if you're thirsty you kind of have to order a drink.
Nous sommes venus deux fois lors de notre voyage, première fois super, deuxième fois la salle était pleine, bruyante & les tables sont très rapprochés les unes des autres. Les poutines sont très bonnes. Bémol pour les boissons qui ont énormément de glaçons

**Location & Atmosphere:** The restaurant is conveniently located near Old Port & typically has minimal wait times. You can choose to dine on the terrace/open area, or indoors. **Food Quality & Pricing:** The food quality is average. The poutine is overly salty to my taste(this is my personal opinion some might find it normal), & the portion sizes are modest for the price. **Water Policy:** A significant drawback is that the restaurant does not offer regular tap water; instead, customers are required to purchase bottled water. This is quite unusual & inconvenient compared to other restaurants in Canada. **Overall Experience:** Despite this issue, it remains a decent option if you're in Old Port & want a hassle-free spot for poutine.
Great place in old town Montréal for some tasty Poutine! Nicely sized portions & interesting variations on the provincial Québecois classic. Other offerings also available who do not wish to order Poutine! Nice interior courtyard setting!
NO TAP WATER served, shame on the owners, this is supposed to be a family restaurant, not a high end bar I should have read the reviews carefully, I didn't think poutine would be at risk of tasting bland or a shop specializing in it would turn out a poor version. FRIED onions apparently means wet onions as per my picture. The Montreal smoked meat sandwich looked pathetic, I could put out a better version getting my ingredients from Safeway in BC... I'd be okay with all this if the prices were cheap but they're definitely not especially when it's $4 for a 500ml of Esker water.

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!
Cadre sympa dans une cour intérieure avec un grand arbre. Service rapide & sympathique. Portion de poutine généreuse !!!! Chouette adresse & prix fort correct
Je ne suis pas un connoisseur de poutine du tout, mais j'ai mangée ma première poutine ici à Montreal Poutine & c'était super bon. C'était une vraiment grosse portion pour le prix, assez pour moi pour un repas complet. Aussi les serveurs ont été si patient & efficace avec la grande groupe de laquelle je faisait partie. L'ambience est très beau dans ce resto, du deuxième étage tu peux voir la rue en dessous de vous & regarder les personnes passer en attendant votre repas. Une belle experience, merci beaucoup :)

My hubby & I split the smoked meat sandwich with the poutine & it did not disappoint. Our server was young, sweet, & very pleasant. It was a big portion. The atmosphere was great, music not too loud like most places. I would go here again.
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.
