Reviews portray Paulo et Suzanne as a cash‑only, old‑school Montreal diner famous for gigantic portions, comforting poutines, and a retro vibe that suits late nights, with many calling it one of the best poutine spots in the city thanks to rich gravy, crispy fries and generous cheese curds alongside solid burgers. While the overall sentiment is positive, several comments describe inconsistencies such as poutines with too little cheese even when extra cheese is paid for, occasional missing toppings, and order mixups, as well as frustrations with the cash‑only policy and the pickup system. The atmosphere is repeatedly praised as cozy and nostalgic, service is described as friendly and efficient when not rushed, and value and comfort food appeal keep customers returning, even as some visits report a dip in quality or more pressure on staff.
I had the popcorn chicken poutine & it was definitely one of the better poutines that you can get in Quebec. The taste of the gravy was very good, the fries were done properly, I just wish that there was more cheese.
Bon resto, bonne poutine & bonnes portions. Faites attention, ils prennent juste du cash au resto, sinon il faut commander en ligne. Très petite salle à manger (environ 20 places). Si vous passez dans le coin & cherchez une bonne patate, allez-y!
I recently visited Restaurant Paulo & Suzanne & tried their Poutine en Primeur Pop'n'Hot, & I have to say, it was a total flavor bomb! This isn't your typical poutine - it's a wild, delicious twist on the classic. The popcorn chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, & paired perfectly with the gooey cheese curds & rich gravy. The jalapenos added a bold kick, giving the dish just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. & that hot mayo drizzle? It tied everything together with a creamy, spicy finish that left me wanting more. The portion was generous, & every bite was packed with flavor. If you're into poutine with a spicy edge & love creative takes on comfort food, this dish is a must-try. Paulo & Suzanne definitely knows how to put a fun, satisfying twist on a Quebec classic!
