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.
The food is beyond delicious! The service is amazing too, shoutout to the waitress Clara who served our table, she was extremely nice to us! Highly recommend!! Encourage this small business because they truly deserve it!

Sorry in advance for the lengthy review: I don't know if this place was just having an off day based off of the good reviews, but our experience was not good. We ordered the caramel shakes with alcohol, the pictures & the menu are very deceiving, & we couldn't even taste the $5 shot of alcohol. They didn't seem to get the idea of a "starter" because it arrived at the same time as our main meal. Although they did arrive within 15 minutes, which was good, because we were starving. I ordered the pulled pork poutine... it was 25% corn, 25% red peppers, 50% fries, & NO pulled pork. When I finally got the server's attention, she came over, I brought up the concern nicely, & she asked "are you sure?" I said "yes, & if I could please just have a regular poutine instead as I didn't enjoy the poutine in general, it would be great" (that much topping without the main key feature of the dish kind of ruined it for me). She simply said "okay" & walked away. No apology for their kitchen staff completely skipping the pork. My partner ordered the Mexican poutine which was about 40% fries & 60% toppings. It was not an enjoyable experience, he ate it... but he did not enjoy it. We waited over 30 minutes for my 2nd poutine... you'd think that they would try & make my redo fast since my partner already had his food & I'm now left with nothing... but apparently not (they were not busy). Eventually I got up & asked if I could have my poutine to go instead. She said of course, & no problem. We left after I got the food. The redo poutine I ordered was also gross... I had maybe 5 bites before I just gave up. Very frustrating experience. My partner & I both agree, that was probably the worst poutine we've had... including McDonald's poutine, which is just gross. I definitely felt that the staff of the restaurant just didn't care because we're English speakers & not from Quebec, I know a lot of people in Quebec hate English Canadians... & it showed. Very overpriced. Honestly, the only good thing about this restaurant was their quirky atmosphere & the option to play games while we wait. We didn't play, just because that's not our thing, but it was a nice touch. I hate leaving bad reviews... but I felt this one was needed

Love this place! The food is really good, lots of options for all people. Service is great & the staff are really kind & welcoming. Great for everyone including students.
Clairement déçu Les frites étaient clairement réchauffée & pas fraîche Or c'est clairement ce qui fait tout dans une poutine Sauce ok & poulet pop Corn passable Vraiment dommage car de base j'adore les poutine de poutine ville (je n'avais jamais mangé dans celui là) J'ai commandé une grande poutine poulet double fromage en grain Attention si vous commandez
We were in the mood for poutine & happened upon this spot. The serving sizes were generous, & the waitress was very friendly. We were pleasantly surprised to find board games available for us to play! It's an ideal spot for socializing with friends, whether enjoying a game while waiting for your food or having fun while dining. We definitely plan on returning to finish our game!
La classique poutine québécoise était un délice - des frites parfaitement cuites, des fromages en grains qui crissent, & une sauce savoureuse. La recommandation de cocktail de Salma était tout aussi impressionnante, me poussant à en commander un autre. Cependant, il était difficile de ne pas ressentir une pointe de sympathie alors que Salma gérait toute la soirée seule, jonglant avec tout avec grâce. Bravo à Salma pour avoir rendu notre visite extraordinaire même au milieu d'une soirée animée !
Single server & chef tried their best but the restaurant was severely understaffed. Two of our orders were wrong & food wasn't the best. Good atmosphere with board games available. A bit overpriced for the quality.

Food was really great. I feel bad for the server because she was all by herself & the food took a long time to order, prepare, & clean up. Not complaining, just an observation some patrons would be far more critical of. Otherwise, the food was great.
Poutineville, un momument de la gastronomie poutinienne (oui ça ne se dit pas & alors) à Montréal. Un grand choix de poutine du monde si le monde était composé de 15 pays & que le Québec était indépendant. Vive le Québec independant ! Un peu de 20$ pour une poutine québécoise avec une bière de la brasserie belle gueule offerte. Accueil & service agréable. Si quelqu'un mange la poutine à 100$ appelez moi je veux voir la bête.
Très bonne poutine ! Les meilleures, je ne sais pas chacun aura son adresse préférée mais l'enseigne est à tester. Petite promo pas piquée des hannetons qui nous permet d'avoir une bière gratuite ! La serveuse était très sympathique
