Got the chorizo & chicken poutine bowl, staff were friendly & food was very tasty! Also a solid amount of food for the price.

Ordered the Pacheco Bowl online & I got a partially filled bowl. Very disappointed when the pictures they advertise are completely misleading. Not worth the price.

Very cheap business. They try to cut costs by cutting portion sizes. This was a BOGO from uber eats which I have gotten multiple times before & the portion was never this bad. They also changed their bowls to smaller bowls. Embarrassing. Not worth it for the price. The poutine is also made with stale fries & not fresh at all.

I tried their Chorizo bowl(rice + salad) with spicy sauce & it was delicious!! The rice was very flavourful
One of the best meals I had in Montreal. A must try if you're into bowls.

Good first experience, nice food, Portugese beer available (with & without alcohol), had the chicken & chorizo rice bowl with good flavors & nice portion, however it had lots more chorizo & I would have preferred a balanced mix (or more chicken!). Would return, but in Le Central there are so many options that in the future I will explore other foods. Service was difficult due to their cashier system being down, had to pay cash or wait for a fix alongside other customers. Due to this issue, order was not relayed to the kitchen & after a 10-15 minute wait had to ask & then get it prepped, ended up eating after my partner. Le Central atmosphere is crowded, narrow paths, lots of elbow rubbing, but this is part of the experience & even if sometimes difficult to find a table, you go there for all of it. Will return!

We paid more to take out the chicken & shrimp rice bowl, only to find out upon reaching home that we were given the cheaper chorizo instead of shrimp. We were cheated. Chicken was nice.
