The smoked-meat poutine was full of flavor from the first bite. The fries stayed crisp, the smoked meat was tender, & everything tasted fresh. The different textures worked really well together without feeling too rich. It was a comforting meal that I would gladly order again.

We thought we would try this restaurant as it had a more broader type of menu as we had a 10 year old with us that was a picky eater.
Food is always extremely good in old Montréal but this was not to be here I am afraid.
We found the food somewhat sub-par to what we have been use to over the years. Kinda disappointed.
I had the burger & poutine. The burger was slightly small & the poutine was not your traditional poutine that I would expect.
French onion soup & pizza was not to bad but overall I would have expected much better food.

Personnellement très déçu du sandwich poulet qui devait être dans un pain baguette comme décrit par la serveuse, il s'est plutôt avéré être un genre de pain sous-marin très mou, sans croquant. Le fromage ressemblait à des tranches de Cheddar blanc Kraft. Nous étions deux avec ce repas & deux déception. Le 5$ pour changer la frite en poutine n'en vaut pas le peine. Une petite poignée de fromage & les frites baignaient dans la sauce qui était trop liquide & en trop grande quantité. Pourtant, je suis type sauce dans mes poutine, mais bon. Des amies qui mangeaient elles sur la terrasse ont bien aimée leur repas, qui n'était pas ce sandwich!!!! Musique trop forte venant d'un radio déposé sur une chaise 😆.

The Restaurant Terrasse Jaques-Cartier is situated in a very favorable spot so the vibes are great.

I enjoyed soaking in the atmosphere. The staff were friendly too!

But the prices are ridiculous! I ordered poutine & a chicken burger. Which were both overpriced & not especially good.

Nice location. Nice staff. Awful overpriced food!

The poutine was exactly what I hoped for. Fries stayed crisp, gravy had strong flavor, & the cheese curds softened nicely without disappearing. Rich meal done properly & very satisfying from first bite to last.

The smoked-meat poutine had rich flavors. The fries & curds were good & the smoked meat added a deep savory taste to the dish. The dish was exactly what you'd expect from a smoked meat poutine & i highly recommend it.

The smoked-meat poutine was bold & satisfying. Fries stayed firm, the cheese was squickey & the smoked meat added a rich depth. This version is heavier than the classic poutine, but packs even more flavors.

Très bonne expérience, nous sommes venus de France & nous sommes tombés par hasard sur ce petit restaurant. Poutine excellente! Ambiance & service impeccable.

Merci à l'équipe pour tout

Un restaurant agréable dans laquelle nous avons mangé notre première poutine ; elle est bonne mais cela n'a pas été la meilleure de notre séjour. Le personnel est très agréable même si nous avons eu à faire à 4 ou 5 serveurs différents pendant notre repas. Par contre l'attente est assez longue, nous avons mis plus de 1h30 pour manger un plat avec apéritif & café. C'est un bon restaurant touristique.

I had the worst smoked meat poutine I have ever had. The smoked meat was tasteless & stringy. The fries were mediocre & the gravy was terrible. My wife had the smoked meat platter & it was equally awful.When asked if i enjoyed the meal I voiced my complaints. The waitress said she would see what she could do & then returned with the bill in full & said nothing more.
I would not only never go here again but i would actively tell others not to as well.
