Montreal Poutine consistently draws praise for hearty portions and a variety of poutines, especially smoked meat and fried chicken, with many guests finding the gravy and cheese curds satisfying and the portions generous. The Old Montreal courtyard setting and upbeat service contribute to a memorable vibe, though some visits note inconsistent speed and attentiveness, occasional missteps, and that water is not always offered, which affects value for some diners. Overall, the spot is regarded as a reliable choice for classic Montreal comfort food and a must-try for visitors, albeit with the caveats of tourist crowds, price, and variable service.
Had lunch here today with a group of 20 people & they were able to accommodate us even though it was last minute. The service was excellent & Jenna was very friendly. The food was great they had really generous portions. Would definitely recommend!

Would give 10 stars if possible. A mix-up led to a last-minute need to accommodate our group of 21 people for a company lunch. Jenna accommodated us immediately, remembered every single order without writing it down, & the food was spectacular & portions generous. Indoor & outdoor (sidewalk in front plus more intimate courtyard) seating only adds to the experience. Highly recommend!
Wow! This is an impressive poutine, which is a bold statement for a city famous for its poutines. First & foremost, it was delicious!! The portion is huge, the service is great, the outdoor terrace is fantastic & the price is very reasonable for the giant portion of fries, cheese, gravy & smoked meat in the one I ordered. Big menu full of options for everyone, I highly recommend.
Jenna & Luca were able to provide me with excellent service. & the atmosphere was lovely, as it was my first time being in Montreal & first time eating poutine. I would greatly recommend Montreal Poutine to anyone who is looking for a great spot.
This is hands down the best fries I've ever had. We're talking about poutine - & this place takes it to another level. Perfectly crispy, freshly cut fries, rich & flavorful gravy, & fresh cheese that ties everything together - an absolute explosion of taste.
On top of that, the staff is incredibly friendly & welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better.
Honestly, one of the best places I've ever tried. Highly, highly recommend - you have to try it!
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.

My family & I had very uncomfortable expirence when we visited this resturant. The customer service that we received was unprofessional & racist. The moment we stepped inside the store crew is already telling us about the tip (which is fine to mention btw but the crew's tone made it sound like we're not gonna pay). Also, they were telling us to close the door already but all of us didnt even step inside yet. I wouldnt recommend this restaurant to everyone.
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!
Montreal's best poutine in my opinion! The vibe of this spot in Old Montreal is so cute, the chips are fresh & crispy, with the most flavourful gravy & LOADS of cheese curds! The location is surrounded by cute streets to walk off your food coma. Highly recommend this as your poutine spot when you visit Montreal.

The smoked meat poutine was great! Recommended to us by the server as their best one, & I would agree! Almost too much though, I do wish there were smaller sizes, only because we both felt a little blah the evening of because it was too much at once. Would not reheat well, so we did not take leftovers home with us & felt really bad wasting any, so really would benefit from a smaller size option. Would recommend & definitely would like to come back - wait to go until you are family hungry & don't have a lot to do afterwards, of go with a group of 3 or more to share.
The patio was a nice vibe!
The poutine was amazingggg! Fries were super crispy but soft, gravy was a little sweet which was really nice, & the cheese was just chefs kiss. Would recommend
Il y a beaucoup à dire sur ce restaurant :
Pour le positif :
Les plats sont bien garnis & c'est correct pour le goût mais on trouve facilement meilleur ailleurs.
En négatif :
Le seul restaurant qui n'apporte pas de l'eau en arrivant & qui refuse de servir de l'eau en carafe. Pour avoir de l'eau il faut prendre une bouteille de 50cl a 4$. Le service est en dessous des autres restaurant que j'ai déjà pu faire dans la même rue .
Même si on mange en terrasse intérieur le cadre est plutôt froid.
La salade était bonne mais bon quand c'était écrit une salade de légume & dans l'assiette il y avait de la salade , des morceaux de de tomates & poivrons & c'est tout. Le tout noyé dans la sauce .
La sauce de la poutine est moyenne.
Pour terminer que l'on soit deux ou quatre la table fait la même taille . & quand on demande si on peut rapprocher 2 tables de deux la réponse est non .
Pas de wifi & pour voir la carte il faut scanner le QR code.
On a vu des groupes de 4 partir car il ne restait que des tables de deux mais le serveur ne voulait pas bouger les tables . En gros il préfère avoir des tables de 2 vides plutôt que d'accepter 4 personnes & bouger les tables. Je ne recommande pas de restaurant , & je conseille plutôt d'aller au jardin Nelson qui est juste à côté & le cadre est superbe

Pour un prix de 18$, les pommes de terre auraient pu être plus savoureuses, pas brûlées ni réduites en poudre. Les serveurs oublient les clients. C'est ma première expérience & je ne le recommande à personne.
Amazing restaurant. First time eating poutine it was so good & delicious its the first dish I finish first before eating the burger. The beer that they recommended hit the spot when eating the burger. When I come back to Montreal I'll be coming back for more.
Un vrai délice ! La poutine était incroyable, généreuse & savoureuse, exactement ce que je cherchais en venant au Canada. Le service était rapide & chaleureux, & l'ambiance du lieu très conviviale. Je recommande vivement si vous voulez goûter une authentique poutine québécoise !
Nous avons été déçu de notre passage récent. Pour 15$, 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.
