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.
La poutine était très bonne, le cadre sympa & le service aussi.
Dommage qu'il faille acheter une bouteille d'eau de 50cl à 4 $ pour boire un verre d'eau...d'autant plus qu'on avait pris une consommation chacun avant
Il y a beaucoup à dire sur ce restaurant :
Pour le positif :
Les plats sont bien garnis & c'est correct pour le goût mais on trouve facilement meilleur ailleurs.
En négatif :
Le seul restaurant qui n'apporte pas de l'eau en arrivant & qui refuse de servir de l'eau en carafe. Pour avoir de l'eau il faut prendre une bouteille de 50cl a 4$. Le service est en dessous des autres restaurant que j'ai déjà pu faire dans la même rue .
Même si on mange en terrasse intérieur le cadre est plutôt froid.
La salade était bonne mais bon quand c'était écrit une salade de légume & dans l'assiette il y avait de la salade , des morceaux de de tomates & poivrons & c'est tout. Le tout noyé dans la sauce .
La sauce de la poutine est moyenne.
Pour terminer que l'on soit deux ou quatre la table fait la même taille . & quand on demande si on peut rapprocher 2 tables de deux la réponse est non .
Pas de wifi & pour voir la carte il faut scanner le QR code.
On a vu des groupes de 4 partir car il ne restait que des tables de deux mais le serveur ne voulait pas bouger les tables . En gros il préfère avoir des tables de 2 vides plutôt que d'accepter 4 personnes & bouger les tables. Je ne recommande pas de restaurant , & je conseille plutôt d'aller au jardin Nelson qui est juste à côté & le cadre est superbe
The restaurant was great, the food was excellent, however, I think that the servers could wear more appropriate outfit, more decent outfit. One of them was as though she was serving at the beach, almost with a bathing suit top. This is my opinion
Tried the poutine which was good. The sauce was excellent. Fries were ok. But overall one of the better poutines I have had in the city. Also tried the smoke meat platter. Smoke meat was ok. Nothing special. I think what bothered us the most is the WATERED DOWN sangria. $35 for pitcher that has so little actual alcohol. Made it feel like a tourist trap & we live in Montreal. We wouldn't go back.
Service was efficient. Tables are soooo small for 4 people it's ridiculous. Not comfortable to sit, eat & enjoy.
Overall, pretty good. Portion sizes were decent which is to be expected considering it's $18 just for a regular poutine. One thing to note: they don't offer tap water, we had to buy a bottle of water which always leaves a bad impression for me personally. Costs nothing to offer tap water.
Poutine was good, not overly salty. The service could be better. Although there were several staff, & all were pleasant, none were attentive. It took quite some time for us to finally get the bill, & only after one of us got up to directly ask for it.
My family were in a rush, we had a layover of one day in Montreal & really wanted to try poutine. the restaurant was very busy, but our waitress Kamili accommodated us very quickly & with amazing service, with the halal recommendations . The poutine was a delicious. We will love to return when we have more time.
Pour un prix de 18$, les pommes de terre auraient pu être plus savoureuses, pas brûlées ni réduites en poudre. Les serveurs oublient les clients. C'est ma première expérience & je ne le recommande à personne.
Amazing restaurant. First time eating poutine it was so good & delicious its the first dish I finish first before eating the burger. The beer that they recommended hit the spot when eating the burger. When I come back to Montreal I'll be coming back for more.

Service très bien , poutine 9/10.
Terrasse extérieur c'est ok mais mettons qu'a ce moment le planché avait besoin d'un bon lavage . Ce n'est pas ultra propre & les table le bois utilisé n'est pas fait pour l'extérieur il ondule & pas tres chic.
A par cela , le service est bien la vitesse aussi. Je déplaure le fait que il n'y a qu'un seul format de poutine disponible .
Excellente poutine au boeuf. Cadre sympathique dans la cour intérieure.
Tellement dommage d'installer tous les parasols, lorsque le soleil pointe le bout de son nez!!!
