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.
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.
We visited as a family of 4 on a weekday around 5:00 & were able to order right away. The food was made fresh so it took about 10-15 minutes for it to be ready but it was so worth it. We're not from an area where poutine can be found but while visiting Montreal we've been having fun trying all types of poutine. This place had one of the best so far. We ordered a kids meal, the MTL, & the bacon poutine. We drove over after visiting the gardens & insectarium & were able to park right out front which was perfect because we were tired from walking all day. I'd highly recommend this place if you're in the area & want so unique poutine.
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!

La poutine est bonne mais contrairement a ce qui est sur la carte il n'y avait aucun autre plat ce jour là. Du coup c'était embêtant car on venait avec qqn qui avait prévu de manger un burger & qui a été bloqué.
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.

Une des meilleures poutines de la ville, selon moi !
Modification de mon avis: C'est passé de'un peu cher' à clairement trop cher pour ce que c'est.
Même si les poutines sont originales & très bonnes, je ne pense plus ça vaille le coup a cause du prix.
Si vous y allez, je vous conseille fortement la Jacqueline !
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 ❤?🫶🏼
