Poutine Centrale comes through as a lively, welcoming spot with a wide range of poutines, where crispy fries, rich gravy and fresh cheese curds meet generous portions and good value. The vibe is friendly and local, the staff are praised for being attentive and the service often described as warm even when busy. Reviews highlight the quality and variety of toppings, the freshness of ingredients and the satisfying comfort of each bite. While peak times can bring longer waits, the overall sentiment is that this spot is a standout for poutine lovers looking for bold flavors and a fun, casual atmosphere.
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.
We were at the Biodome & needing something to munch. We decided to get some Poutine here & it was great. The vibe is cool. Iron & wood decor, great staff really tasty food. Give them a go. Short 5 min walk from Pie-IX station.
Saw this place on tik tok & it didn't disappoint. Loved the vibe this place had & my daughter who is very picky with poutine loved the one here. Highly recommend
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!
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!
An Epic place to stop! When you truly want to check the boxes of Great Poutine this is your place . So many options, so fresh & large portions. Various seating options, perfect vibe for group gatehring. & one MUST add their name to the wall ! Bonus staff is so friendly English or French ❤?🫶🏼

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!
Actually a really rustic looking corner restaurant with wood & steel interiors. It's giving industrial vibes. Anyway, fairly empty of a Tuesday afternoon. A bit if a walk after having visited the BioDome earlier but there are only so many options nearby. We took a chance on Poutine Centrale & were not disappointed. There are some tables in the front & then the ordering counter. Plenty of seating in the back as well. Heard good things about the Jacqueline so we got a small to share with 2 sodas. It was the perfect snack. Loved loved loved the fried cheese. Went well with the sour cream & gravy & bacon. The day was beautiful so they also opened up the windows.

A great poutine that delighted my taste buds. The service was excellent & definitely great vibes. The lights were missing a few lightbulbs in the restaurant dining area. I would also suggest a cool selfie wall with the huge amount of plants they have.
