Overall, reviews of Poutineville depict generous portions and a wide range of poutine options, from classic to creative toppings inspired by different cuisines, with many finding the poutine tasty and comforting and the prices fair for the size. The atmosphere is described as casual and fun, with options like board games and a lively vibe that suits a quick bite or a relaxed evening. Service is frequently praised for friendliness, attentiveness and efficiency, though some visits note inconsistent experiences such as a slower or less engaged server, lukewarm poutine, or fries that were not hot. A few reviews mention smaller takeout portions or food that did not meet expectations, but many diners report positive experiences and would return, especially for the Montreal style and other signature poutines. The restaurant is also seen as family friendly with options for different tastes and dietary considerations, making it a reliable choice for groups, students or travelers looking for a big meal and a casual setting in downtown Montreal.
We had a great experience at Poutineville Bishop! We ordered a large classic poutine & honestly did not expect such a generous serving size, it was almost the size of a full steak plate. For $13, that's amazing value.
The real highlight of our visit was our server, Zoe. She was incredibly friendly, polite, & helpful. What impressed us most was that she was running the entire (& busy!) restaurant on her own with about ten tables, & she handled everything calmly & professionally. That kind of service deserves recognition.
The classic poutine was satisfying & well made. Next time, we will definitely try one of the customized poutines: the menu has great options inspired by Canada, the US, Italy, & even Thailand 😊.
Highly recommend if you're in downtown Montreal & craving poutine.

Très bon restaurant de poutine. Bien copieuse, les xango sont aussi très bon. Le serveur-gerant est aussi aimable & efficace. Le service est rapide & le prix très correcte. Nous recommandons !
Portion sizes are HUGE I promise you, we got THE HANGOVER & THE MONTREALER both were really good though the hangover one was much better in my opinion while my cousin found the montrealer to be her cup of tea, had left overs from both poutine. 10/10 would recommend eating here service was really nice too, overall a peaceful environment.

this is my go to spot for some poutine after school. It is budget student budget friendly there are games & amazing music! The staff are so friendly especially Arianne she was my waitress multiple times but honestly everyone has been so welcoming & funny as well!! I highly recommend!!
When visiting Montreal I stumbled upon this spot & it was awesome, the food was fresh & tasty. Great vibes & a perfect place to experience the local scene. Highly recommend checking it out
Love this place close to home, had the "Mexican" today, a poutine that incorporate guacamole, black olives, cream fraise, & other things in line with the northern American idea of what Mexico is. Natcho plate with fries & gravy, but it's really working. The kids loves the place with the games & fun atmosphere, & I had the chance to get beaten in chess by my son before the entree arrives(he beat me fast). A place I would definitely recommend for families with kids that are +3yo.
It's heartwarming to retrieve an atmosphere you once had at a restaurant, this one brings back good memories, walls full of paintings & so much art, music is relaxing, food is delicious & many varieties, the waitress was so kind & friendly, & all of those things are mostly our motives us as clients to come back, it was amazing I strongly recommend for everyone to at least try this place!!!!
