Overall, Poulet Rouge is described as a dependable, tasty, and fast option for a flavorful meal in Montreal, with many noting generous portions and consistent quality.
I eat a lot of Poulet Rouge, & this one is easily the best one in Montreal. The portion is bigger than others, the food always tastes fresh (even at 11:30PM), the people who work the grill are good at what they do & seem to enjoy what they do, & there's a student discount if you're a student. I don't even like chicken but theirs is always so good. This place also has a better poutine than others places nearby that are literally dedicated to poutine…

I can see now why this place is so popular. On my first visit the staff was really nice, showing me the options & asking me if I wanted any of the add ons. You chose how much chicken you want, 3 or 4 slices, & which sauce to use. They have a nice selection, the spicy version which I took was not very spicy, which was what the server had told me. But then you also get two bases (rice, bulgur wheat, quinoa or lettuce) & also you get 6 very fresh topping & a sauce. The food was very good, the chicken tasted great & all the toppings were fresh, even the side of tzatziki was good. Definitely a good choice for some fast food. It is unfortunate that even if you eat there, you are given a to-go bowl & a bag.
Go-to spot for a flavorful meal! The chicken was juicy & well-seasoned, & the toppings made it even better. Fast, fresh, & filling - Poulet Rouge never disappoints! 🍗🔥

This Poulet Rouge branch is one of the best. The service was amazing, & the employees were super sweet & generous, especially the ones who handled the toppings & the cashier. The chicken was cooked perfectly-I'm just obsessed with the grilled chicken here.
there's a guy on cashh wearing glasses he's the best guy ever he took my order fast snd efficiently alsoo the food was really good also chicken was cooked to perfection
This is a great place for people who love chicken they had different flavors of chicken, which is grilled live at in front of you. Their bowl options are great as well which choice of between rice & quinoa. overall, this is a great place on Saint Catherine's street for a quick meal. Vibe is awesome & Service is great.
Ordered takeout, so can only comment on the food! Food - 5/5 - Chicken Bowl with 2 sauces - Rated this high for what it is & overall value... If you're looking for a healthy rice bowl, with flavour & some variety, this place is great. It's like the French version of Chipotle or Freshii... perfect when you're ordering in on a random night, don't want to spend money, but are looking for something healthy & tasty. I can't remember the sauces I ordered, but you get to pick what you want, so it's great!
I decided to have dinner here last night on 11/02, & I want to say that it was a great experience. The number of employees was very sufficient to provide respectful, fast service & a delicious meal, especially the handsome young man who was putting the chicken flavours, even though he refused to reveal his name, but I want to thank him very much for his professionalism, busy with the chicken on the grill & giving meals to customers at the same time, & yet he kept his smile, his excellent service & his flexibility in handling special requests. I will eat here every time I see this team is there, & I highly recommend this restaurant

I was looking for something quick, taste & somewhat healthy then google recommended me this place which was walking distance from my hotel. I got rouge mini with lemon chicken, brown rice, tzatziki sauce, black beans & corn. Service was very quick. It has amazing taste, chicken was flavourful & cooked perfectly! My tummy is happy. I wish they have it in Vancouver, please open one!
Can never go wrong with Poulet Rouge. Perfect place to go eat when you don't know where to go. I would've preferred to receive more chicken on my order next time.
