Montreal Poutine shows up in reviews as a strong, comfort-focused destination in Old Montreal, offering huge portions of poutine in a warm, rustic setting with a courtyard vibe and stone walls that many describe as charming. The menu items such as smoked meat poutine and fried chicken poutine are consistently praised for rich gravy, squeaky cheese curds, and fries that stay crisp; portions are often ample enough to share and are considered good value for the price. The atmosphere and service receive frequent compliments, with friendly, attentive staff and a lively ambiance noted, though some visits mention slower service, busy crowds, or occasional missteps like a spill or delays. A recurring practical note is that tap water is not provided and bottled water is the default option, which some guests find disappointing on top of higher prices. Despite occasional drawbacks, most reviews emphasize a positive experience, with many saying the experience is memorable and that Montreal Poutine remains a go-to spot for authentic Quebec comfort food in a historic, courtyard setting.
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.

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.

Jenna (our server) made the entire dining experience surreal. She was very attentive, friendly, & answered any questions we had regarding the menu. The food & atmosphere here was unreal. Definitely be back! Thanks for everything.
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!

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 .
Extremely unpleasant experience. I came here with 3 friends & we were seated at a small table. My friend & I are very tall people 6foot & 6foot 3 & were extremely uncomfortable at the table. We all felt very crammed like we couldn't move. We end up moving to a table next to ours with more space. Later the hostess comes & informs us we can't move tables- mind you THERE ARE MULTIPLE FREE TABLES. I tell her that we can barely fit at that table & it's ruining our experience & she said that tables with more seats need to be left if a bigger group of people come. I'd understand if the restaurant was slammed but I don't think a surge of people were coming & it's also a poutine establishment u don't spend more than an hour there anyways. We were then moved to a high top where the air conditioning was dripping on me (it was hot & I know it's out of there control but u probably shouldn't have a table there then) & also our table was so dirty - wasn't wiped down at all. It was disgusting. The poutine here is good but there are equally good places on every corner of Montreal. Also as time went on there were more tables available & we could've comfortable sat at a bigger table with no issues lol
Good Poutine for the price! One of the best in town I've heard. But one interesting fact is that is good for the price & quality. Two people can easily have 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.
Pas d'eau servie. 4$ la petite bouteille d'Eska. Des avis similaires ici & sur Reddit depuis au moins 7 ans donc ils risquent pas de changer. Si vous êtes du coin, vous savez que c'est moins cher même au dep, c'est pour dire. Si vous êtes un touriste, c'est le vieux Montréal quand même vous savez que vous ne venez pas de découvrir une pépite de restaurant caché, vous ne reviendrez pas & c'est "dans le budget". C'est dommage car franchement c'est pas si mal pour cette zone mais c'est un détail qui gache tout car on se demande si on se fait avoir sur autre chose pendant qu'on mange.
Visited this place because of google suggestions, tried poutine & mocktail, food & drink was good however service was very unpleasant, it felt like person at the front didn't want us there.
