Service is frequently praised for friendliness and efficiency, with staff who guide choices and keep lines moving during busy times. The place is seen as good value, including student discounts and late hours that suit busy students and workers alike. There are occasional critiques, such as one location having strong kitchen odors or air issues, a mix up with an order, or items being a touch salty or dry, but these do not outweigh the overall positive impression. 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.
Workers are incredibly rude. Both the blonde girl with glasses who was putting the sauce & the other brown girl who was putting the toppings were very snappy & inappropriate, & rude with clients. We had a terrible experience & are not coming back.
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.

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 would not talk about people who are in the surrounding area of the store because when you'll go at night ( mostly between 10pm to 12am) you'll find homeless & addicted people but it's alright for me & for anybody who wants just to eat & go, i would like to talk about the staff who works there, i don't think they work there at anytime, but today's shift 23 October at 11pm, i was served by the best shift i've ever frequented in Montreal since my arrival, even though you see stress & the fatigue in their face, they were more than kind, cheerful & helpful & they put too much toppings, because i don't eat vegetables i asked only for cheese & crispy onion & tzatziki sauce, you would imagine how much they put to me & even asked me if i needed more, always in other poulet rouge i take rouge bol with same thing & i eat it all because they put a less reasonable amount of toppings, but with those guys, i ate only 40% of it & i was full! i am keeping it for later,(keep in mind i didn't even tip but i wishes if i did) i kindly ask the manager of the store to give them all a raise! they were 3 girls & 3 boys
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!
Chaque visite est un délice en bouche & pour les yeux, ambiance très louge avec la musique de fond. La poutine était super bonne, tout les bol peuvent être accompagné de 2 à 4 choix de garniture sur un choix de plus de 15 accompagnements. Le poulet cuit sur le grill peut être garni de l'une des 4 saveurs de sauce, pour ma part la BBQ sucré est ma préférée. Les prix sont très bon pour la quantité offerte, le staff est très sympathique, polis & généreux. Quelque choix de plus de breuvages sera agréable, Root Beer ;). Une belle place au soleil pour un dimanche plus que parfait.
Trop de sauce c'est dommage car ce n'est pas mauvais. Le gars de la caisse m'a rendu 4$ au lieu de 4.25$ , 0.25$ ce n'est pas grand chose pourquoi les endormir au client, c'est ridicule.
Nous avons commandé à emporter . Tout était super bon !! Les frites maisons je recommande fortement!! Les deux sortes de choix de poulet bbq, spicy délicieux ! Le riz les petits légumes & la sauce ! Vraiment délicieux !
Tried this place for the first time; the staff was very kind to explain about the menu! Tried the rouge bowl with BBQ chicken & it was delicious! I loved the spicy mayo sauce & all the veggies blended really well! The price is also very affordable & the taste was so good!
The delectable flavors of the chickens & sauces, coupled with swift service, render a delightful experience. The marination of the chicken & accompanying side dishes exhibits a remarkable taste. The additional gratification lies in its adherence to Halal, further enhancing the overall satisfaction.
