Reviews highlight Poulet Rouge for flavorful bowls and poutines, generous portions, and chicken that is described as fresh and well seasoned, with toppings and sauces that offer customization; the service is repeatedly praised as fast and friendly and the ambiance is welcoming, and the meals are seen as filling, good value for students, and convenient near campuses, with open late which helps during long study sessions; a few notes mention bowls that were too salty and rare occasions of order mix ups, but the overall impression is of reliable, tasty fast casual options that keep returning customers coming back.
One star is honestly too generous. This was the worst portion I've ever been served. The toppings didn't look fresh at all & tasted like they had been sitting around for way too long. The chicken was bland, the sides felt like an afterthought, & the whole meal was disappointing. Definitely not coming
One of my faite places for late night eats. You can make it healthy or you can make it fast food. There are multiple options. I like to choose the healthy option with lots of chicken & less sauces right after my workout so it is pretty versatile.

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!
