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.
Hostess was not polite or welcoming when we came in … seated us at a table at the end of the secondary space & we were there waiting for service for about 10 minutes … we just got up & left …. Really disappointing because we came from Brazil & were looking forward for it
We only got the regular poutine & that was good choice. The curds were melted the gravy was nice- I wish it was just a bit hotter. The portions were quite generous for their prices. Two people could definitely share one. There just wasn't really something that stuck out to me that set it aside from over poutine places. I will say that for the touristy part of Montréal it was in, it had very fast service & the hostess' were extremely kind & friendly.
Go there if you wanna get insulted by a moody waitress & have your food arrive 1 hour late & slammed on your table. Excellent example of a rude Quebec restaurant.

Poutine Montreal truly lives up to its reputation for having some of the best fried chicken in Montreal-crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, & full of flavor. Absolutely loved it!
I was also pleasantly surprised by their customized rum + hot water + honey drink-I ordered it for a sore throat, & it was honestly amazing & very comforting. Such a thoughtful & warming touch.
The only downside was the hot chocolate, which didn't quite meet expectations.
Overall, great food, excellent fried chicken, & a memorable experience. Would definitely come back again! 🍗🥃
I ordered the poutine & hotdogs loaded. Amazing everything & the service was awesome Christmas eve dinner was so needed after midnight mass Notre Dame Basilica.
Cute place in old town for a heaping portion of poutine! The fried chicken was great - & could have fed two. Probably for tourists for than locals but very festive for Christmas time! Great service
We came here with a large group (16) they were very accommodating & set us up in the back room. The Montreal smoked meat poutine leaves nothing to be desired… mmmmm. The staff was very friendly & helpful. This is an upstairs restaurant with a narrow staircase to get up to it.
We were admiring the stone walls & our son asked how old the building was. They said over 200 years, so that is pretty special.
