Reviews for Poutineville consistently highlight generous portions, a wide variety of poutines, and a casual, welcoming vibe with friendly, efficient service and good value. While many poutines are praised for crispy fries, rich gravy, and squeaky cheese curds, a few orders are noted as lukewarm or overly saucy, and not every flavor delivers a wow moment. The playful atmosphere with board games and a Nintendo Switch, plus a family friendly setting, contributes to a reliable, crowd pleasing option in downtown Montreal.
Très bon restau pour manger la Poutine traditionnelle avec le vrai fromage qui grince sous la dent.
Concernant le Mac&Cheese c'est plutôt la déception, car on dirait qu'ils ont réussi à rater de simples coquillettes, avec une sauce liquide jaune & de la viande. Les pâtes étaient fades & sans goût. Des pâtes au beurre ont plus de goût… (mais ne sachant pas si c'est comme-ça que ça se mange au Canada, je vais éviter d'impacter le restau dans la note).
THIS POUTINE WAS EVERYTHING you want in a poutine. Generous portions for an amazing price! Hands down the best! Lots of gravy lots of cheese . MUST TRY ! Loved every bite .. MERCI BEAUCOUP

Had a great experience at Poutineville Bishop! Our server, Walid, was incredibly friendly & attentive. He truly made my first experience at Poutineville fantastic!
Portion size was also generous, 2 of us shared 1 large poutine & the mac & cheese bites. 10/10, would visit again!
Sorry to say I wasn't a big fan of the poutine that I ordered from Poutineville. I came here because I wanted to try a good poutine & figured a place with the word in its name would be the right place to go. I ordered the large montrealer poutine for takeout & it just really didn't hit the spot for me. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing but the flavour just wasn't really there for me, & the cheese wasn't as clumpy as I would have wanted it for a poutine. It felt a bit more'stew-like' to me. There is a chance that it might have tasted better if I had eaten it in the restaurant, but I was only a short 10 min walk away from my hotel.
Staff working here all seemed pretty nice though, & they seem to get a lot of delivery orders.
Ate there tonight, arrived at around 9ish. Staff was very friendly, classic poutine was generous with cheese & size was huge. Beer tasted good! Nice place to hang out.

I'm not a poutine connoisseur but shouldn't cheese curds not melt like mozzarella? In Ontario, some places cheap out by using mozz instead of curds but wasn't expecting that here, especially on the Classic poutine. It's possible I'm wrong but I don't think so. The waiter btw was stellar! Even when i asked about this.
First time I had been to Canada & obviously I had to try poutine. This restaurant was close to my hotel so I just picked it out of a whim. I got the hat trick & it was really delicious. I can't believe I was eating fries tossed with beef, bacon, sausage, gravy, cheese curds & could say that that was good.
Probably ok if you stick to poutine, but even that was a little unmelted & cold. Salad was drenched in mediocre dressing. Mac & cheese with bbq pork tasted like chemicals & inedible. Worst restaurant I've been to in years.
Poutineville on Bishop is a great spot if you're craving comfort food with a twist. I went with one of their signature creations, & it was everything you want in a good poutine: crispy fries, rich gravy, & squeaky cheese curds, all loaded with generous toppings. Portions are very satisfying (come hungry!), & the staff were friendly & helpful with suggestions. The vibe is casual & relaxed-perfect for a late lunch or dinner after exploring downtown Montreal.

I have celiac, & had no reaction.
You just have to ask to make sure they use the regular sauce which is gluten free.
The pulled pork poutine was very good. There was just the right amount of cheese & gravy, & they have good portion sizes for the price.
Loved the poutine, good homemade fries with squeaky cheese curds. They have a nice board game selection so you can hangout & play with friends while eating some good poutine!!
As a foreigner, one wants to know what this Poutine is all about, so I went to this place. Inside the place it does not look appealing at all. A lot of ‚Student Specials' are advertized & there is a cupboard full of board games... really, in a restaurant?! The furniture, 2 giant TV-screens with some sport channel on display & the atmosphere overall reminded me of a waiting room in a hospital or public area. Plenty of choices on the menu & the prices are very reasonable. I ordered the ‚Classic'... came quite quick. Taste-wise, I found the gravy kind of salty. The cheese is tasteless. Personally, I would not return to this place (unless you're a student & want to take advantage of their specials).

Oh wow! Do not walk, run to get the BUTTER CHICKEN POUTINE! It is so good! Portion is great, full of sauce & flavor! Yum! Get it, you won't regret it! Greek salad is also a 10/10. Don't bother with the Philly cheese steak though.
They have a small patio that could seat 2 groups in the front. As I wanted to try a different poutine experience, I ordered take out from this place. I tried their signature Poutineville poutine. It was very hot when received, so I would recommend bringing a bag to carry it with. The poutine was nice, with an abundance of sauce & what seemed like beef brisket meat. The gravy had a stronger flavor than most I have tried but was a bit lacking on the cheese. Would try their other selections next time!
Aucun service en français, j'ai demandé une grande mac & cheese, j'ai eu une petite & c'est rien se qui donne pour 20$ en plus le temps d'attente est vraiment long
Visit: June 2024 The poutine was pretty average; I just had the regular poutine. A good amount of squeaky cheese curds & the gravy was beefy, but the fries were a bit overcooked & had a bit of a burnt taste
