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.
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!
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.
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.
