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.
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.

Poutines très généreuses ! Mention spéciale pour la smoked meat. La salade César est aussi très bonne. Service sympa & rapide. Si vous avez une bonne faim &/ou que vous avez envie de vous réchauffer, vous êtes au bon endroit.
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
Pros: Our stay in Montreal was short, but out of all the poutines we tried, we loved the smoked meat poutine here the most! Cons: They do not offer water & charge you $4 for a bottle. Plus, service was pretty much non-existent.

MTP has great potential. It's a cool space upstairs with a perfect view at the windows for people watching. Their smoked meats poutine tastes good & comes in large portions. The staff couldn't be more disinterested if they tried. They stand around the entire time doing nothing & I had to stare them down to get them to come over & take my order. You won't see them ever again until you catch them walking by. I gave 4 stars because they charge $4 for a cheap & small bottle of water. No tap water available.
Cozy fast food joint tucked upstairs in the heart of old montreal. We ordered a smoked meat poutine & a passion fruit mocktail. One poutine was enough to fill both of us up. Our server Omar was very nice, chill & provided us with a fun experience. Would definitely come back the next time we visit.
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.
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!
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
