About

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.

Review Summary

Montreal Poutine is widely recognized for its generous portions and high-quality comfort food, particularly its signature poutine topped with fresh cheese curds and flavorful gravy. Many visitors appreciate the welcoming atmosphere, the historic building's charm, and the beautiful outdoor courtyard, which serves as an ideal setting for enjoying a meal in the heart of the city. While the staff frequently receives praise for being friendly, efficient, and accommodating to large groups, the experience is occasionally tempered by issues such as the absence of complimentary tap water, concerns regarding the pricing of bottled water, and occasional lapses in service speed or seating comfort. Overall, it remains a popular destination for those seeking a quintessential Montreal dining experience.

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.
