Overall, Poutine Centrale offers a wide variety of poutines with generous portions and flavorful sauces, and the fries stay crisp while the toppings stay tasty. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere is lively and local, and many visits highlight quick service and good value for money, making it a reliable spot for a quick bite near the botanical garden or for a family outing.
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.
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.
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.
