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.
Première poutine de ma vie, & oh la la je suis tellement bien tombée.
C'était vraiment archi bon, ça tient bien au corps. La traditionelle est légèrement relevée mais reste vraiment très douce à mon goût.
Je recommande vivement ça m'a vraiment rendue heureuse 1er degré
J'y suis allé pour la première fois, la poutine est excellente.
Par contre, la façon de commander & de payer est la raison pourquoi je laisse 3 étoiles, je suis arrivé sur place & j'ai dû commander en ligne parce qu'ils ne prennent pas crédit ou débit. Rendu en 2026, le système devrait être meilleur.
Maintenant que je sais comment ça fonctionne, j'y retournerais parce qu'il y a beaucoup de choix sur le menu.
Je recommande cet endroit.

Les poutines sont terrrribles (délicieuses) je recommande!Excellent service!! À 3h00 du matin, on a commandé 8 grosses poutines de plusieurs sortes différentes, aucune erreur dans la commande & le personnel était souriant. L'endroit est très petit je vous suggère de prendre pour takeout. Petit stationnement à l'arrière (peu de place) parking sur la rue en général. La seule raison que je n'accorde pas 5☆ c'est parce que c'est seulement argent comptant... mais il y a une'ATM' sur place.
Can't recommend this place enough. Service was amazing, decor felt like 50's Montreal in the best way possible (not that I was alive but nostalgia up the wazoo) & the hot dogs & poutine...can't believe it took me this long to make it here & try the food! Prices beyond reasonable. 40$ for 3 people to eat in this economy?!
I used to go to Paulo & Suzanne & portions were huge, lots of cheese curds, & sauce was delicious.
I recently ordered a large regular poutine with extra cheese curds & now price is up, quantities are small & the quantity of cheese curds was ridiculous considering that I asked extra cheese in it. Even the taste is not the same, fries were not wow, sauce lost its unique delicious flavour. Now the taste is the same as a poutine sauce in can.
In the past, it was overwhelming in term of quantity & the taste was fabulous.
So sad to see great places like this having a huge drop of quantity/quality.
Overall, I still recommend this place but consider picking up your poutine, maybe you will get a different outcome.
Je passais dans le coin & plusieurs recommandaient la place alors j'ai décidé d'essayer. J'ai pris la poutine Trois petits cochons. Mes commentaires :
Trop salée
Trop de sauce pour pas assez de frites
Format plus petit que ce à quoi je m'attendais
Trop che
OG diner with BOMB poutine. First time I went there I got some kind of a mix with veggies & onions. Just get the OG poutine without too many extras, it's the best. Although! I got recommended to try the chicken popcorn version & it was sooo good. Visiting every time I'm in Montreal 🍟
One of the few 24h spot in the city. Very active throughout the morning, lunch, dinner & night time early AM. Their poutine is great, most burgers as well. Definitely recommended for late night cravings.
Moved into the area & decided to give this place a try for breakfast. I am a very picky eater & I have to say I was blown away there was not a single thing I could complain about. Top to bottom I'd recommend. If you love poutine this is one of the best you will ever have. Their cheese curds are always so fresh & squeaky.
This place is top notch...best equipment...awesome staff & it shows in the food!. They change their oil...they don't cheap out on ingredients...super well run...highly recommended
Très bon petit restaurant à découvrir. La jeune femme qui nous a servis était vraiment bien. Je recommande fortement. Première fois & pas la dernière. Très belle découverte🥰🥰🥰
Dans les meilleurs que j'ai mangé. On a pris une poutine régulière large avec ajout de bacon, saucisse & saucisse hot dog. Chaque bouchée avait beaucoup de garnitures. Je recommande fortement.
