Montreal Poutine delivers an authentic interpretation of Quebec culinary traditions through a focused menu centered on fresh ingredients. Hand-cut potatoes undergo precise frying to achieve an ideal golden texture, providing a structural base for thick, savory gravy. The inclusion of squeaky, high-quality cheese curds ensures the essential pull and richness expected by local enthusiasts. Smoked meat offerings feature slow-cured beef brisket sliced thin to preserve tenderness and seasoning intensity. This establishment prioritizes the classic composition of these staple dishes, emphasizing proper ratios of potato to sauce and cheese. Patrons encounter a straightforward environment where the engineering of the poutine remains the primary technical objective. Every preparation adheres to established regional standards, prioritizing ingredient integrity over unnecessary culinary embellishment or complex plating techniques throughout the diverse selection of menu variants.
Montreal Poutine offers a memorable dining experience in a historic setting, featuring generous portions of poutine that many visitors consider among the best they have tasted in the city. The restaurant boasts a cozy, atmospheric interior and a charming terrace that enhances the overall vibe for those exploring Old Montreal. While many guests praise the friendly and accommodating staff, particularly when dealing with large groups, others have noted inconsistent service speeds and a policy requiring the purchase of bottled water instead of offering tap water. Although opinions on price and specific dish quality vary, the restaurant remains a popular destination for those seeking a quintessential, comfort-focused Montreal food experience in a unique, centuries-old building.
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.

Il était 14h00, nous souhaitions manger un plat local. Nous avons été ravis de trouver une table, des sourires & une carte avec plusieurs poutines. Le personnel est à l'écoute, bienveillant. Le cadre est agréable, la cour intérieure est un vrai plus. Quant aux poutines, on a été bien servi, c'était bon, & cela correspondait à notre attente. Nous recommandons vraiment cette adresse. Pour ceux qui passent à Montréal, un endroit sympathique à découvrir. Merci à toute l'équipe.
The hostess was very friendly & seated my family right away. We were unfortunately at a high top table with very uncomfortable stools that were slightly too short for the table. The atmosphere was okay, every table on the terrace was full. After sitting, we waited over 15 min for our server to finally show up, & this was after my husband finally got his attention. *Note: our table was next to the servers' entrance to the kitchen area, we were visible to every server.* He arrived, no apology, no warm greeting, just took our order & left. That was the last we saw of him the entire time. He did not deliver the food, nor did he ever check if we wanted to get a new drink, nor did he ask how the meal was. He also never gave us our bill. Again we waited, obviously finished eating, for 15-20 min before a lady came over to clear our dishes. At that time, my husband said we had been waiting for a long time for our server to come give us our bill. He never did, but she did. Now, the food: I ordered a chicken strips meal. It was almost $20. I expected full sized (large) strips. I got 3 strips that were slightly longer & thicker than a human finger. None of my party ate their whole meal, as it was just "okay" at best. Would not recommend this place at all.
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!
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.
Love this place every time Iam in Montreal. If you can get a dining spot in the court yard in the summer I highly recommend. Priced well especially for downtown
