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.
Beautiful spot & tasty food. It's in an little courtyard surrounded by old buildings. The food was very good & the service was great. Did is reasonably priced, drink are kinda high, 4$ for a bottle of water, 12$ glass of beer. Our server, Charlotte, was very nice. We ate outside but there were lots of tables inside as well.
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.
absolutely loved the atmosphere-the terrace feels like a castle courtyard, a beautiful spot to relax & enjoy casual food. The smoked meat poutine was generous, loaded with cheese curds & meat, & definitely filling. The classic burger with cheese & bacon was hearty comfort food, & while the bacon came more like bits, it gave the whole burger a smoky flavor I enjoyed. Even the hot dog, simple as it was, hit the spot in its toasted bun. Overall, a fun & memorable place to enjoy Montreal staples in a gorgeous setting.
We stopped by this spot in the heart of Old Montreal's open-air shopping district & were pleasantly surprised. I went for the spicy sausage poutine-bold, savory, & just the right amount of heat. My friends tried the smoked meat poutine, which was rich & satisfying. The open seating area was a great touch-spacious, relaxed, & perfect for people-watching. A solid choice if you're craving comfort food with a local twist.
Generous portions worth the money, 2 person shared each poutine & we were full.
Only negative was that they only provide bottle water.
Montreal's best poutine in my opinion! The vibe of this spot in Old Montreal is so cute, the chips are fresh & crispy, with the most flavourful gravy & LOADS of cheese curds! The location is surrounded by cute streets to walk off your food coma. Highly recommend this as your poutine spot when you visit Montreal.

Tried the chicken poutine from Montréal Poutine & it was delicious! Generous portions, flavorful, & definitely worth the money. A great spot to enjoy this classic dish in Montreal.
The smoked meat poutine was great! Recommended to us by the server as their best one, & I would agree! Almost too much though, I do wish there were smaller sizes, only because we both felt a little blah the evening of because it was too much at once. Would not reheat well, so we did not take leftovers home with us & felt really bad wasting any, so really would benefit from a smaller size option. Would recommend & definitely would like to come back - wait to go until you are family hungry & don't have a lot to do afterwards, of go with a group of 3 or more to share.
The patio was a nice vibe!

Fantastic place & food outstanding & great atmosphere & service. Portions are big so be prepared. Akos the best PROPER red sangria I've ever tasted
A real find! You will not be disappointed !!!
Loved the rustic Old Port atmosphere & the wait staff was professional & absolutely wonderful. We were a large group & it was made clear in a friendly & professional manner that there's an automatic gratuity added due to the size of our walk-in party. We were easily accommodated despite it being lunchtime.
The food however...
My only personal issue was the quality of smoke meat on the poutine. It was akin to overcooked minced meat & nothing like MTL smoke meat one would expect (especially for the price). The poutine sauce was as expected, cheese the perfect squeaky-curds & melted. The fries were decent too. Crispy, not the greasy spoon fast food you get from LBP.
I would return for a standard poutine next time maybe but am still quite disappointed with my smoke meat experience :(
Party of 4, we all had a different poutine & they were good size portions, the bad is the prices for the no alcohol juice cocktails, at $9 for a small glass is extreme. Especially when half that small glass is ice.
The Montréal smoke meat poutine was very very salty.
We had outdoor seating that was beautiful.
No vegan option for poutine on the menu, the gravy contains gluten, not all waiters were able to inform us about allergens & there was no way to look it up, it took 3 people to bring us a QR code to the menu, there was lint in the drink of my partner, I received a different beer than ordered, there was a piece of cheese in my'vegan' poutine, I did not receive onions on my poutine even though it was ordered.
It was good. It was empty upstairs. They have an outside section which was busy & I think had a nicer atmosphere. Waitress was civil. Not rude but not overly friendly. As the bill was coming I asked for water as we had quite a walk back but she said they only had bottles so had to buy a bottle of eska for 4$ when they charge 2$ down the street. Anyway if someone asked how the meal was I'd say the place is fine.
