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…
Food is always fresh, savory & the staff is always friendly. Love that they have vegetarion options. Open late whichbis always convenient. Great job great food !!
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! 🍗🔥
First time visit. I thought until very recently it was a rotisserie kind of place. I am very pleased. The food was fast, fresh, & healthy & delicious. Line was long & that only made me stay to try this, they serve fast, do not worry, I waited like 9 minutes for some 10 people line.
This is fast food that is good for you.
Nothing left in the bowl. Thank you!
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!

A clean, lunchtime staple. Very fresh chicken, flame broiled before your very eyes & many options to add to your bowl. Always pretty packed here during peak but it's to be expected in the belly of the beast! For under $20 you can easily get 2 lunches out of it, value-tastic!
Can't believe it took me two years of living in MTL to come here. Many people I know spoke so highly of Poulet Rouge & now I see why... Fresh, filling, tasty, & reasonably priced! I ordered two one flavour rouge bowls for us & one is easily enough for two lunches. I also appreciate how our bowls were thoughtfully presented - they looked just as good as they tasted. Service-wise, my takeout order was processed & ready for me very quickly & served by friendly staff. Overall, Poulet Rouge is a great choice for a filling, relatively healthy, & budget-friendly meal!
