    This is one of the Quebec institutions for putine. Ambiance of a greasy college diner. Friendly staff. Multiple topping options. It's a heavy meal. No surprise. I am no expert but I would prefer crispy fries. Hard to accomplish with a gravy over them. I opted for the Elvis with some peppers as I wanted some vegetables. I wish it had strips of beef rather than ground. Stick with normal size as portions are huge. NO regrets. It's a dish I had to try as an introduction to Montreal but it will probably be my last.

    Lovely server and the food is really good for the price point. Ordered the bacon cheeseburger with baby poutine and a glass of house white wine. Pros: - friendly service - food came out super quickly - delicious food - extremely affordable

    Chez Claudette wins best cheese curds in our battle of Quebec poutines but outside of our squeaky buddies, the experience was just okay in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, there was nothing wrong with service. We walked in at mid afternoon and ordered a classic poutine to-go since parking is nothing short of a nightmare in the area. The fries were stacked high and the gravy was poured in piping hot before being closed up. But on first bite after opening, what I didn't expect was notes of sweet? Tasted the gravy, nope. Definitely not the curds. The fries? Yep. Why were they a little sweet? Odd. I just couldn't really get behind it. I guess it's to balance the savory gravy, but unfortunately, it really stuck out to me and not in the best of ways. They also wilted quickly leading to somewhat mushy fries. But let's talk about the star: the curds. When people talk about squeak, these guys actually made noise! Nice! If I had another chance, maybe the move would be to order a poutine with even more savory ingredients laid on top.

    Chez Claudette is a poutine staple in Montreal. We got lucky with prime seating and the food was made fresh and quickly. While it was a very filling meal, I found it to be a bit bland. Maybe I'm just not a poutine person.

    I came on my first day in Montreal. It was also my first time trying poutine. I got the Celine. For me, it felt too overwhelming and turned me off. I thought it was too salty. I did enjoy the onion rings. Service was efficient. It was definitely a hole in the wall spot.

    3.5 stars for the poutine but 5 stars for the service!! We sat at the bar on a bustling weekend afternoon and while overwhelmed with the poutine options we all settled on a giaaaaannnnttt platter each and left full. I think this was a special poutine experience if your visiting though I couldn't eat on the regular just due to the sheer volume and heaviness lolol. The vegetarian poutine was the best vegetarian version I've found! We also had absolute pleasure to meet Adel, the chef lighting up our plates and hearts!! He was kind enough to whip us up a crepe too, which was a nice sweet treat and different from crepes I've enjoyed before. It was a lovely experience at Chez Claudette!!

    Maurice Pritchard protects some of the finest poutine north of the border. Super delicious, with massive flavor, excellent coverage of gravy, great potato layer, and the cheese curd squeak just cuts through like a humid day in Louisiana. There was very little not to like about the food here. It really is delicious, served quickly and with a friendly cashier to make it all better. The prices are pretty reasonable as well. A high recommend from me, as it checks all the boxes in terms of a well balanced poutine without ruining your insides.

    Was told this place was one of the best. Friendly casual service. The steamies stole the show (vapeur). Get them with everything (coleslaw, mustard, etc). They were the best cheap eat of my trip hitting a dozen famous places in the city. The poutine selection is vast, the portions for a "petite" could feed two. Honestly I think I liked the gravy on the original at La Banquise, the poutine Quebecois was good -- the additional ingredients were quality and didn't feel cheaply added. Interior is a little cramped with fake brick wallpaper but bright. If you come here, get Steamies. I was lucky to just be able to walk in and get a table on a Saturday at noon.

    This place wasn't anything special. We ended up getting some poutine and it wasn't anything spectacular. If you're looking for a good poutine place, this isn't it. But if you want to grab a quick bite then sure. Service was alright.

    Awesome diner vibe. I opted for the classic poutine and really loved it but the star of the meal was the steamies. That was my first time trying them and they were great! Definitely a good place to try for authentic Quebec food.

    Elvis
    Yumi K.

    I've got to say, we absolutely loved the gravy and the cheese curds in this poutine. We ordered the Elvis and the Smoked meat poutine for a party of two and almost finished everything despite the relatively large portion sizes. We preferred the Elvis as we found the smoked meat to be a little salty. The Elvis also comes with veggies which add more flavor and help cut through the heavy meal. This place can get pretty busy with take out orders so if you're sitting in, you'll have to be patient about service. Nonetheless, the service is very friendly and happily chatted with us and regulars that came by. You pay for your meal at the counter when you're done with your meal.

    Food Not to compare poutineries, butttt... Chez Claudette has La Banquise beat. My friend and I ordered a classic poutine and the curds were noticeably funkier (definitely a plus for my inner-cheese-lover) which was complemented by a sweeter potato. On the other hand, I didn't love that the fries were all soggy once they got to the table nor that the curds produced more of a pull than a satisfying squeak, but this is all _easily_ overlooked by the gravy. The star of the show, the denser, and all around mote flavorful gravy was the perfect blanket to swaddle each fry. I'd come back to this place in a heartbeat. Value We paid 8 CAD for a small poutine split between 2 people that I'd consider a heavy snack or lighter lunch. Experience We came in on an early Saturday afternoon and everything about our experience was fast: we were seated immediately, turnaround time from placing our order to receiving our food was unbelievably quick, but even the interactions with our waiter were rushed, almost edging on curt.

    Chicken Tandoori poutine

    Hungry for lunch! We were just walking on the Laurier street; the first restaurant that we spot was Chez Claudette. When we entered, it was a tiny diner. I won't say it is the most cleanest place. We took a table by the entrance. The service was superb. Our waitress was sweet, friendly and very quick. The menu has lot varieties of breakfast and comfort food. I decided to take a risk, so I ordered chicken tandoori poutine. I won't lie about it...it was really good. Fries, curd cheese, chicken tandoori, caramelized onion, and tandoori sauce made this dish really special. My friend decided to take a breakfast plate with omelette, with potatoes and bread. The kitchen was nearby, so the noise of the clanking of dishes were very loud and disrupting. But we did stay there about two hours... just talking. I really enjoyed that nice diner.

This thing was loaded and it was all so good. It came with smoked meat, bacon, spicy sausage and pepperoni on top of the traditional cheese curds and gravy. Totally worth jt for $28.60 CAD. Their Blanche beer (8/10) was light and refreshing and balanced out the savory poutine. The ambiance in the restaurant was loud and busy.

We decided to get the La shoot-out - this has smoked meat, bacon, spicy sausage, and pepperoni. We shared the large portion and it was massive. I give it a 9/10 - it was delicious! They loaded it with a lot of meat, the fries were soft with some crispiness, the gravy was soooo good, and the cheese curds were yummy. This whole concoction was great! To drink we ordered one of their beers - La Banquise Blanche - nice beer! Service was good, our waitress was nice and helpful. Overall, this a must if you are in Montreal. You can't miss eating poutine.

The cheesecake was rich and decadent and it was topped with the a strawberry sauce. This cheesecake didn't have a crust. Definitely good to share. Price point is good for this establishment.
