Review Summary

Montreal Poutine delivers a warm, rustic Old Montreal vibe with courtyard dining, where generous portions and a wide range of poutines attract crowds. Many reviews praise the fried chicken poutine and smoked meat poutines, noting cheese curds, rich gravy, and filling portions that can easily feed two. Service is frequently described as friendly and multilingual, with quick and attentive staff in many visits, though a few experiences mention slower service or pressure to depart. Water is often a gripe, as tap water is not offered and bottles must be purchased, which can feel off to some guests. Prices are sometimes considered high for the size, but the big portions and solid flavors tend to justify the cost for those sharing or seeking a hearty meal, and the atmosphere is repeatedly highlighted as charming and lively, especially on the terrace or in the courtyard with good music and a welcoming staff. Overall, Montreal Poutine is seen as a must try for an iconic Quebecois dining experience, particularly for first-time visitors looking to sample a classic poutine in a distinctive Old Montreal setting.

Ordered Montreal smoked meat sandwich & fries. It was good.

What could have been a great spot for a drink & a smoked meat sandwich turned into a pretty uncomfortable situation.

We each ordered a drink & a smoked meat sandwich. The bartender at the start seemed great, & we noticed a new bartender had started her shift no red flags. But after 30 minutes passed with no sign of our food, we started to feel something was off. People who had arrived after us were getting their food & even closing their tabs.

I tried to flag down the new bartender, but she was clearly overwhelmed juggling drink orders, food service, payments, & seemingly running the floor on her own. After nearly an hour, with empty glasses & no food, we decided to leave $20 on the bar & head out, as we had dinner reservations to get to.

As we were walking out, the bartender yelled & chased after us, accusing us of walking out on our bill even though we hadn't interacted with her once & had left cash on the bar. It was a really strange & disappointing end to what should've been a chill stop.

I was a bit skeptical thinking it's a tourist trap due to location, but smoked meat sandwich is pretty good & service was excellent

Première expérience de sandwich smoked meat, nous avons pris à emporter & nous sommes quand même un peu déçus de la quantité , le sandwich était bon mais pas à tomber par terre . Au moins cela reste local !

I loved this spot. Beware that there are steep stairs.

My first poutine in Canada. It was what I expected. It went well with the Sterling Chardonnay on the menu.

We enjoyed the smoked meat sandwich also. We split two plates, had a pop & 9oz wine.

Tasty gravy!

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.

On peut se douter de la qualité dans un quartier touristique, mais quand même ... J'ai commandé une assiette de smoked meat à 22 dollars, je ne m'attendais pas à ce que ce soit le sandwich à 12 dollar + 10 dollar pour avoir des frites & un bout de chou en plus, je pensais avoir une vrai assiette de smoked meat (& franchement pas mauvaise mais pas incroyable). Au Swartz c'est moins cher, bien plus généreux & terriblement meilleur. Ah pis la poutine même pas du fromage en grain, ça faisait des fils. Une amie a commandé limonade au début du repas, elle a été servi quand on était prêt à partir. On a demandé un couteau au début du repas, jamais donné. Les serveuses n'étaient pas méchante, mais je pense qu'ils sont soit en sous-effectif, soit à la ramasse. Ah oui y a même pas de carafe d'eau dans ce resto... remplissez votre gourde dans une des fontaines gratuite à côté avant d'y alle

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 .

The food was just ok. The smoked meat sandwich was small. Atmosphere was cool though to be sitting in a courtyard surrounded by 300 year old buildings.

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.

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.

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!

Vraiment mignon comme endroit! Ambiance typique du vieux Montréal avec une cour intérieure spectaculaire entourée de murs de pierre. L'endroit était bondé en ce samedi soir de juillet 19:00. Tous le personnel était extrêmement gentil, souriant & serviable. Un serveur nous a trouvé une table à l'étage près d'une fenêtre, avec une jolie vue sur la rue St-Paul. Le menu est simple & c'est ce que nous cherchions: 2 bières en fût bien froides "Blanche de Chambly," une assiette de smoke meat pour ma mère (sandwich, frites croustillantes & salade de choux,) puis pour moi la salade césar avec lanières de poulet croustillants. Nous avons été servies dans des délais très raisonnables, 15-20 minutes, avec notre bière pour patienter. Notre facture finale s'est élevée à $78, ou $90 avec un pourboire de 15%. Bref, une sortie divertissante. Je recommande cet endroit pour le dépaysement... La nuit tombée, un projecteur dans la fenêtre du 2ème étage projette un film de Charlie Chaplin sur le mur de pierre pour les gens assis sur la terrasse! Bref, aussi bien manger un repas simple dans un câdre enchanteur, qu'une cuisine plus fine sur n'importe quelle terrasse ordinaire, au service lent & médiocre pour le double du prix!

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.

The smoked meat poutine was tasty, the smoked meat sandwich was kind of small. The service was very disappointing. I asked for a glass of water & they said they only had bottled water for $4, but when we ordered cans of soda, they brought glasses with ice, you couldn't have filled that with tap water for free? We all ordered food. Then they said it would take 20 minutes for the food to arrive, took more like 30, there was gravy all over the sides of the poutine, the server stuck his thumb in plate, & we were never brought cutlery or napkins. I had to help myself to those. Skip the dishes, or skip altogethe

Food was just OK. The montreal smoked meat sandwich wasn't much. Could have used more meat. They would not serve a glass of water & the cheapest drink was $4.
