Came for lunch after walking around the botanical garden with my girlfriend.
The place has a very friendly & local vibe & the man preparing our food was nice - asked what type of music I liked & played some on youtube on the TV.
La poulet buffalo & la merguez we're both excellent alongside Le smash burger PC.
Definitely would come back.

Wait time is alot on Weekends, rest good for poutine lovers, fries aren't salty though they are sweet paired with poutine is good without it not so good 😊

I feel bad rating a 2 because the guy was nice. He explained the limited menu right when we walked in, & the service was good. Genuinely - the poutine just wasn't great. The cheese was squeaky, but I felt there was no flavor to the gravy, & the fries tasted like old fair fries. It was also only two guys working, we got a dirty fork, & a glance into the kitchen area sent me spiraling because I'm a bit high maintenance with cleanliness & it just wasn't up to my standard. There were no glaring red flags, but I still was fighting back a panic attack over a freaking bowl of poutine! The tables aren't comfortable. They're a bit odd & don't work for young kids. The playlist was good, though. 90s vibe. Wouldn't return, personally but hope they can improve if this is their dream!

This place is wonderful if all you want is poutine. We tried their shredded pork version & shared a large portion. It was delicious & such a huge a portion that even as hungry as we were we couldn't finish it. The staff is friendly & very helpful. A great place to get your poutine fix.

Fun little spot with tasty food at a good price, within easy walking distance of the Botanical Gardens. The classic poutine had a rich gravy & they were VERY generous with the cheese curds, which is always a plus. Nice fresh coleslaw with a tangy dressing, & a wide selection of premium soft drinks made it easy to round out the meal.
Staff is very friendly & were patient with an anglophone like myself; counter service was prompt, with food being brought out to the table. Restaurant is busy with takeout service, but the space is well appointed so you can relax with your food without feeling rushed. Atmosphere is hip without trying too hard, it definitely has that unique Montréal vibe!

The Small order of French Fries was really big!
My wife & I even shared our fries with her uncle last weekend while totally enjoying our burgers (cheese, cheese & bacon, smash) next to a freshly delivered pallet of 700lbs of potatoes.
Perfect blanching. Perfect re-fry & seasoning.
Cooked in beef fat the way they should be.
No trace of old, dirty oil stank like most poutine joints, & not a spot of grease left on the checker paper when we finished. 👊
Those were some of the best fries I've ever eaten. Perfect.
Bravo.

The MTL was amazing. Definitely recommend. Took a while to come out (15-20 minutes?) but the service was very friendly. The setting is cool too, but the'chairs' are awful to sit on. I am small, & I couldn't fit on them. I had to lean on them like one would a railing. Still yummy though!

The poutine was beyond mid even bad at sometimes we got the extra cheese to taste the average poutine which should taste good to mid as a classic in quebec here the fries were soggy & the cheese wasn't up to the task at hand it was small & didn't melt at times so it was hard to eat without scooping the whole thing in your mouth It costed around 30 something or 40 for two poutines regular size. The chairs were horrible!!! My back ached & I couldn't eat at some point because of the horrible pain of the awarkard seats. Overall felt like a horrible experience & a waste of money & time. The only redeemable thing was the staff the staff were amazing & kind thank you guys for making the experience somewhat enjoyable & sorry for the bad review.

We were visiting Montreal & our friends took us here. We had the classic & it was soooo delicious. The potatoes they use was so good. Gravy & cheese were not overpowering. One of the best poutines I've had. But the vibe was good & it was close to Mount Royal, Olympic stadium, biodome, botanical garden. Great spot!

We found this place on our way to look for a local lunch. They have amazing poutine, everyone ordered a different kind to try & were all very satisfied. The also have great burgers & smash burgers, all the ingredients taste very fresh, & their burger sauce is delicious. They make very real, natural, & tasty fries. They don't have gluten free buns or bread, but most of their poutines are gluten free if you don't mind cross contamination. All in all, great lunch, the wait time was good. Our appetizers of coleslaw & fries came after about 10 minutes, the poutine came before 20, & the burgers came around 30. This was great considering we were a large group & there were a sizeable amount of other people also in the restaurant.

We got burgers & a beer, great homemade flavour on the burgers & the temperature of the beer was just on point, the service was excellent, everyone was very friendly & of course the ambiance of the place it's so original & charming, definitely coming back soon!

Reviews were good so we tried it out. We ordered takeout, two poutines & a burger. Burger was very good but poutine was a letdown. We ordered a large & the box was stuffed 97% with fries with only a bit of cheese sprinkled on top, & it was dry because there was not enough gravy. The small poutine we ordered was decent & proportions of cheese/fries/gravy were normal. Probably wouldn't go back.
Paul
Went back again for a second time &, even if all the ingredients are there, fries cheese, presentation, quantities among other, something is missing. I was expecting the sauce & the overall dish to be more tasty & nope.
Brianna
This was my first time having poutine & it was great! The people are super friendly & helpful, the prices were very reasonable plus it has a super cozy atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend stopping by for a quick bite to eat if you're ever in the area.
