Poutine Centrale is widely celebrated as a fantastic destination for authentic poutine, offering an extensive and delicious variety of toppings that keep visitors coming back. Located conveniently near local attractions like the Biodome and botanical gardens, the restaurant is frequently praised for its cool, industrial-style atmosphere, welcoming service, and engaging touches like interactive chalk drawing. While some diners have noted occasional wait times during busy periods, the high quality of the fresh fries, squeaky cheese curds, and flavorful gravy consistently earns high marks. Guests appreciate the generous portions, the accommodating staff who assist English speakers, and the overall chill vibe that makes it a must-visit spot in Montreal.
La poutine était sur la coche, 100% parfaite!! Frites débiles, excellente sauce, fromage frais. Le service ce dimanche 22 février midi était GÉ-NIAL, le *nouveau* proprio est tellement sympathique & accueillant, on a envie d'être son ami. Nous reviendrons c'est certain!
Bonne poutine. Sauce salée & poivrée comme je les aimes. Définitivement il manque de fromage ce qui pourrais faire la différence entre aller là & prendre mon auto pour aller plus loin pour une expérience plus à la hauteur de mes attentes fromagé!
Over all bonne poutine c'est juste que le ratio frite/sauce/fromage marche pas.

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.
Manque de fromage. C'était plus une patate sauce qu'une poutine. Très peu de sauce également. Le service est rapide mais pour 11$ la petite poutine, ça ne vaut pas le détour.
Not enough sauce, not enough cheese, way too many potato skins makes you feel like your eating leather.
There are much better choices for poutine than this place, sorry I was disappointed.
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.
We came here on Friday December 20th in the early evening & ordered to go. The place was empty - we initially wanted to order online but noticed the menu was different, less selection, so came in person. We tried one of their smashburgers & a poutine which featured cheese curds, as well as cheddar cheese, green onions & sour cream. The food was delicious but my only complaint is the very small portion size & high price. The burger by itself is over $10 & is super thin - I understand the concept of smash burgers but was surprised it did not come with fries or a drink for that price. The poutine I chose was a "regular" size but felt like a small. The food is also packaged in these cardboard take out boxes which are not lined or waxed so unfortunately most of the sauce absorbs through the paper. There are lots of different container options such as alimunium or waxed cardboard that can be used which would be a more ideal choice especially for poutine. This is just bad planning.
