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.
Poutine was not good (fries were cold, gravy was unseasoned) & the service was terrible. We had to ask for water three times. We were never checked on during our meal, literally had to keep flagging down the hostess to come to our table & find our waiter. Way overpriced for the quality of the food - Modavie is down the street & has much better poutine for half the price!
Very tasty poutine. Extremely friendly service. Tasty peach juice & sangria. Loved it. Amazing vibe. Great to sit & observe people from the window on rue St. Paul.

This is the spot right here! I cannot travel to Montréal without a visit to Montréal Poutine. This was my first time visiting my fav poutine spot in Montreal during the winter season. We sat upstairs & loved it. This spot provides such a welcoming energy with wonderful staff & some good music. The music's on point as it brings you back to what some of us would consider back-in-the-day tunes from - Cindy Lauper, Boy George, George Michael (RIP), Prince (RIP), Duran Duran, & Madonna, to name a few. The ones you just find yourself singing along to. Our entire table sang a couple of times - I caught them! 😂 . My partner ordered a hot dog with his poutine one, of my friends ordered a burger, & the rest of us ordered different poutines. No one was disappointed- yessss! The worst is when you big up a restaurant & your peeps are like, next! That is not the case here at Montréal Poutine because the food is on point! Best poutine in Montréal, in my humble opinion. This visit on March 5th was great, & our server (the young man who had the Jordan's on) was lovely - you would swear we knew him. But nah, just a nice human. If you have the chance to visit, please do. The vibe in the summer is even better!!! Something special about this space. If you don't believe me, make space & time for a visit! Thanks Montréal Poutine for existing. Can't wait to visit Montréal in the summer just so I can get me some smoked meat poutine! P.s. sitting down is a must because it's a vibe. In fact, a complete vibe. Go head with your ongoing yumminess Montréal Poutine! & see you soon. A customer from out of town that bigs you up on a regular!
For what it is & the price point my girlfriend was very satisfied, instead of her usual sad inside. Great portions, perfect temperature, & they even carry Coke Zero :)
Really cozy & rustic atmosphere with amazing poutine. Great option for those going to old Montreal. Eva was very accommodating & thoughtful in helping us choose the best food options & giving us tips for places to check out in Montreal!
This is charming restaurant in a busy tourist area. The drinks were delicious & so was the smoked meat poutine. The waitstaff were friendly & service was quick. We found it to be a very satisfying experience.
