***4.5 stars *** Solid poutine. Thank you, Yelpers for the suggestion. I was looking to pick up some poutine on the way back home from the Biodome and this place did the trick. I was able to order ahead and online ordering was easy. Lots (almost too many) of choices. I got the Horchelaga (bacon, onions & mushrooms) and Centrale Poutines (classic). read more

We were excited to try Poutine in the place that is known for it. The interior was cute, with fun bricks signed along the wall. An English menu was easily available on the counter. There are so many options, so come prepared to chose wisely. We went with the classic. The team got it out to us quickly and were friendly. Perhaps all poutine is like this, but the cheese was quite rubbery. I wasn't sure if it was real cheese. The gravy had good flavor, but I couldn't get passed the weird texture of the cheese. I would try something else next time. This place is pretty close to a metro line, so it was easy to find! read more

We came here on Friday December 20th in the early evening and ordered to go. The place was empty - we initially wanted to order online but noticed the menu was different, less selection, so came in person. We tried one of their smashburgers and a poutine which featured cheese curds, as well as cheddar cheese, green onions and sour cream. The food was delicious but my only complaint is the very small portion size and high price. The burger by itself is over $10 and is super thin - I understand the concept of smash burgers but was surprised it did not come with fries or a drink for that price. The poutine I chose was a "regular" size but felt like a small. The food is also packaged in these cardboard take out boxes which are not lined or waxed so unfortunately most of the sauce absorbs through the paper. There are lots of different container options such as alimunium or waxed cardboard that can be used which would be a more ideal choice especially for poutine. This is just bad planning. read more

My best advice is get several small versions of poutine and share. I had The MLT which was fantastic and da hubs had The Centrale (classic). Fried pickles are sweet if that's not your jam. Communal tables are the seating arrangement. They speak English and were super helpful when we had questions. We never felt rushed while we decided on what to order. read more

Came in after a trip to the Biodome. Wow, best poutine we have ever had. Went with a small centrale and a small jaqueline. Kids shared a popcorn chicken meal. Strongly recommend the Jaqueline, but there are so many appealing looking options. Friendly service! Can't wait to visit again. read more

Stopped in for a quick bit of Poutine here after a day at the bio dome around the corner. Had little expectation and was quite pleased! Fries were clearly hand cut and well done. Gravy was a little weak but still great. I got the one with popcorn chicken and was surprised that there were only a few bites. Beyond that a clean welcoming environment. Worth a second fork! read more

First time trying poutine so I went with the classic, it was definitely good, but I had to push the cheese to the side. The Chicken ranch sandwich was OK, not the best. Something was missing in the flavor, but overall good to each. The Cheeseburger was delicious. Juicy, and just perfect. The staff was friendly and helpful. I asked for suggestions on which poutine order to get, since it was my first time, and they just told me to go with the classic. The place is beautiful and has a rustic vibe to it. Overall very chill experience. read more

First time having poutine and was not disappointed. We ordered the Verdun and poulet au buerre. The large portions are good for 2 people. The Verdun is ground beef and bacon mixed with green beans, and the poulet au buerre is basically chicken Tikka masala. Both were great and quite filling. The fries were smothered with sauce that was pretty light but added great flavor. The place was a bit understaffed with only 2 people. Took a while to get the order in. It was also pretty hot inside. read more

Great place for poutine! We were there to experience a classic Montréal dish and this place didn't disappoint ! Even had good local beer. We shared one with smoked meat, one with bacon and one with buffalo sauce. read more

4th time is the charm. Other place we had some less than desirable poutine but this hit the spot. Smoked meat poutine was good but the buffalo chicken was a little strange. Burger was decent but for some reason they were out of smash burgers. Side of fries could have been a little crispier. On the whole a good send off on poutine. read more

You can't stop by Montréal and not try the Poutine. Definitely a total different experience compare to the crispy fries you would normally get. But I loved it! My absolute favorite was the crispy pickles, can't get enough! read more

Good Restaurant just not a big fan of poutine. It's basically just loaded fries. Service was good

Came here on the specific rec of a friend who has spent plenty of time in Montreal and said it was his favorite poutine stop in the city. Did not disappoint. They had so many options and while I did a very USA-centric thing and did order a bit of the buffalo sauce poutine, I did also enjoy a classic order and one that had smoked meat and cornichon and that one was the thing that everyone really hoovered down. None of us have had the fabled "smoked meat" before and that paired with the pickles on top of a classic style poutine was just amazing. The staff were sweet, and vibe of this place was super hip, super cozy, Edison bulbs... you know the stuff. We often like to gently tease about the tragic hipness of food establishments but I'm going to be honest - it really works here. The food is decadent, they've got a whole bunch of amazing sodas with real sugar to wash down all that potato and cheese and gravy, and it just felt so, so relaxed. No pretense, simply delicious food, and a good reason to visit MTL again, honestly. read more

Maybe I made a mistake by not ordering a poutine, but I was pretty disappointed. Stopped in for something quick and the music was unnecessarily loud for just 2 other people inside. They don't specify if they use vegetarian gravy, so I went on the safe side and got a beyond meat cheeseburger with fries which came to $23 before tip. The burger itself was nothing special. Same kind of thing you could get at any other joint. Fries were a bit dry and underseasoned. I left feeling underwhelmed and overcharged. read more

Wow!! Would recommend to anyone traveling to Montreal. Poutine was amazing along with the ambience of the place. Definitely going to go back! read more

Super yummy food. My first time try, and love it. I showed my friend the picture of what item I want. Unfortunately my order came out wrong, I asked why my food is not the same as the picture? My friend did not tell me why. Either he order wrong even after he saw the picture or the restaurant made a wrong dishes. I don't eat pork, my friend tried to force me eat pork. I highly suspect he ordered wrong even he saw pictures. His intelligence level may be low. Glad the restaurant guy came out said he can make me a correct one, even my friend refuse to correct for me. As a result, I don't have to be forced eat pork. Love the handsome, kind, nice restaurant guy. :) read more

So. Much. Poutine. And it was delicious! No A/C so be prepared to sweat if it's hot out. Service is good - they forgot my friend's order so they upsized her when they brought it out. Casual vibe. I would go back. read more

While having lunch here, we actually got into an argument, on "other social media," with other American and Canadian friends about whether their Italian Poutine is actually poutine (can you imagine Americans being purists about poutine?). That conversation was silenced with a reply of "And how is YOUR authentic Quebecois poutine lunch today?" Ca y est, this is the real thing (if you want to be the purist in the bunch, order the classic smoked meat version), with more than a dozen varieties from which to choose, and way too many good aromas as you walk in. During the busier part of lunch, it gets crowded, and it can take a few minutes for your order to be made, but that proves they're making the fries fresh. Beverage options are 3 types of beers and several options for soda (and I learned the French for Root Beer). Seating options are a couple of larger tables in the center, and table space along the walls, all with "log" type seats. It's not the most comfortable option, but that's not the part of your body you're trying to satisfy when you visit here. Poutine Centrale is a medium walk away from Olympic Parc and a nice option for dining if you're in that area. read more

Came up for a trip to Montreal and found this restaurant looking for a quick bite to eat before we took the train back. Absolutely wonderful meal! The Burgers were fantastic, the poutine was flavorful and the service was super fast! Ralph and his girlfriend (the owner) were especially kind and really helped give the restaurant a welcoming feel. 10/10! read more

We stopped here after the Botanical Gardens since it was in the neighborhood and we are glad we did. Nice, cozy spot for a late lunch. While my family shared poutine, I opted for a Beyond Burger. It was nice and crispy, on a good roll with lettuce, mushrooms and sautéed onions. It came with a massive amount of French fries, of course. We also shared a pitcher of blonde beer. Very relaxed vibe with good music in the background. read more

Me and my wife were passing through Montreal after dropping some family members off at the airport. I've never been to Montreal, so my wife (who was born in YUL) decided to show me the old neighborhood where her mom and father met. While site seeing, we came across a poutine shop called Poutine Centrale, and since I've never had a real Montreal poutine, my wife suggested that we check it out. After giving the spot a quick Yelp once-over, we decided that this would be my first Montreal poutine, and boy, was I happy we choose Poutine Centrale! My wife ordered La Pulled Pork, and I ordered La General Tao. The fries could have been eaten by thenself as they were crisp and delicious. The gravey was amazing, cheese curds squishy, and the other toppings were fresh and did not disappoint. On top of the absolutely delicious poutines, the owners, a wonderful couple, were very kind and accomidating. The ambiance of Poutine Centrale is amazing! Well done to the owners for putting together a poutine spot that anyone would be happy to sit down at with friends or a date while enjoying one of the best poutines this dude from Toronto has ever had! Also, did I mention the poutines are made to order!? And they have some of the coolest poutines I've ever seen at any poutine spot. I've had many good poutines in Toronto, but nothing as delicious or as creative as Poutine Centrale. My wife and I highly recommend Poutine Centrale. We know you will love this Montreal gem! read more

We stopped here after spending a few hours at the Botanical Gardens. This was my first encounter with poutine and I was not disappointed. I ordered the 'Jacqueline' which comes with crispy bacon, melted cheddar cheese, sour cream, and green onions. An amazing flavor bomb! Paired with a cold lager, I think this was the best thing I ate during my 6 day vacation in Quebec. read more

I ordered the large Jacqueline poutine. I love the mix of bacon, cheese, shallots and sour cream. It's a really beautiful marriage between all of that and the crispy fries. My eating partner got Le Cheese Bacon and they said it was delicious and the bread (ciabatta style) really made it stand out. Only downside was that the fries were missing with the burger (i ordered through Skip so i settled that with them). I added a side of fried pickles (delicious) so maybe that overrode the fries? The menu on there is a little confusing. All in all the food was delicious and will order there again but hope they will revise their wording for this menu item on Skip. read more

I thought this place was super cute for decor. the stools were a bit weird though since they dont have a foot rest. we tried a bunch of different flavored poutine. i specifically tries the asian i spired one with chicken pieces on top with a sweet salty sauce. could have used more chicken and better quality. got to hang out here and play charades for like 2 hours before going to see the lights so pretty awesome. read more

3.5 Stars! UYE with Adam and Julia!! I've had this place in my bookmarks for a while but it's a bit out of my way so never thought I'd go. I ordered the regular poutine and was a bit disappointed there was so little cheese but the appeal of this place is to get their speciality poutines. Adam got the bs which is bason sausage and it was delicious. They have lots of seating but not in a organized ways. They're mostly tables for groups. I also found that since the seating was only stools, it was uncomfortable. But even then the place is great! A really great neighbourhood joint. I think it's great for takeouts or group hangouts at lunch. read more

My friends and I walked here after our visit to the Jardin Botanique de Montreal! It's not too far of a walk - about 7-10 minutes long. We found this place by looking up nearby eateries. This place is somewhat small, but wow the poutine here was plentiful and delicious. My husband and I never had poutine before so he asked the staff which version they would recommend. They recommended the Jacqueline! Our friends ordered a mediterranean style poutine. Our Jacqueline was delicious and satisfying. We ordered I think the large size to split - at first I was thinking of ordering my own, but im glad I did not. The portion sizes are enormous. The large size was more than enough for the two of us with big appetites. topping was a fried eggs with cheese curds, gravy, fries, bacon pieces, and I can't remember what else, but it was drool worthy. We were stuffed to the point it was painful to finish - there's just so much haha. The music is really hip and it reminded me of being in Brooklyn. I highly recommend a visit to this place to refuel after the botanical garden or biodome! read more

THREE WORDS: SLOPPY. JOE. POUTINE. Get it. It's soooo yummy and easy to eat. We came here exactly at 11 am for opening time because we were going to try an ambitious 3 new poutine places that day. Spoilers: This was the only one we went to. We ordered a small Sloppy Joe Poutine and a small Breakfast #3 Poutine. The Breakfast poutine was okay---- but the sloppy joe poutine is where it's at. Guys. The sloppy joe poutine was thick, ooey gooey, meaty, super savoury, cheesy, the fries were crisp for the first 3 minutes, and then it all just melts into a mountain of deliciousness. This is it. This the best poutine I had up to this point. It was so easy to eat because it was so saucy. Delicious. You need to try this place. They have lots of other flavours/options too--- a lot of them are super novel sounding like Butter Chicken Poutine and General Tao Chicken Poutine . Free pop if you check in too! (We didn't use it because we were the first ones in there and didn't wanna be jerks) We were so full and itis'd after eating here we just went back to our hotel until night time. Worth it. read more

I came here on a date 2 months ago, the atmosphere is great and super casual! 5 minutes into eating I had to politely excuse myself to projectile vomit in the bathroom. The rest of my date went very well and I saw him again the next day. My only complaint was that I wasn't able to kiss him because of my vomit breath. Food was good. Bathrooms were clean. read more

Ok, so I'm not sure I've ever been to a real poutine shop. I have been served it here and there but this place is only about it. I opted for the beef and onions and mushrooms. I was starving and saw the petit bowl and went for the gross size. Mistake. Petit is way more than enough. In any case, loved it. Absolutely loved it. I think in cold weather I might be here a lot more. But I really liked the space with the open windows and breeze which you wouldn't get if it were colder out. Anyway, my wife had the Mao chicken, and holy cow - super!! I am not an expert but I'd be hard pressed to find another place better than this one. read more

We were under substantial pressure from friends and family to try Poutine when we were in Montréal. Our Airbnb host recommended a few good spots, but Poutine Centrale was only a few minutes away from our apartment. We arrived around 9:30PM, and thankfully the place was pretty empty. We had no trouble ordering our food and drinks. We ordered a regular poutine and a smoked meat one with a Boreale Red beer. I was happy to be able to try a Canadian-brewed beer. It was sweet and malty and accurately red as the menu described it. Then we tried the poutine which was piping hot when it was brought to us. It was definitely good. The gravy and fries and cheese curds mixed well together. The smoked meat was a nice added touch. Although it wasn't too comfortable to eat steaming Poutine in a warm restaurant, I still enjoyed it very much. It didn't blow me away though as some other people said it would. It seems like it would be excellent drunk/hangover food for sure. I may return if I come back to Montréal. read more

They have French menu but you can ask for an English menu. They have many poutine options for you. I chose the Montreal smoked beef, and Buffalo wings ones. The sauce is well seasoned. The portion is good for the price. The price ranges from 10-20. The place is good for family, or group. The interior design is minimalism. If you check in, you can get a free soft drink as of July 2019. It is easily accessible by public transportation. There are also plenty of street parking nearby. read more

A solid place if you are craving poutine with small twists. Located in Hochelaga, it is rather inconvenient to access it. However, the detour is worth it if you are actually looking for a quality poutine. Their menu is very varied with different types of poutine as you can see on pictures uploaded by other yelpers. I personally settled on the General Tao poutine, which was surprisingly well orchestrated. The mix of flavours blended well, with the thick gravy contracting well with the sweet and sour texture of the chicken sauce. I also took the pogo, which was good, but nothing mindblowing. Would definitely come back to try their other types of poutine! read more

Stomach was growling after a morning of walking through Jardin Bontanique. Luckily Poutine Centrale was just a quick Bixi ride away. My sister and I shared the grosse size of La Sautée (onions, mushrooms, herbs and more) and it was the perfect portion. The cheese curds were squeaky and we liked that the gravy wasn't too salty or greasy. Pricing was also reasonable, although I was bummed they didn't take MasterCard (Visa or cash only). While we were stuffing our faces, there was a delivery guy bringing in sacks and sacks of potatoes. Good to know they use real, fresh potatoes! Definitely come here if you're in the area and craving some poutine! Happy Grubbin'! :) 3.75 read more

This is the best poutine I've had so far and I've had poutine everyday for the past for days. The large is way too big. The fill it all the way to the top. I got the bbq pulled pork and it was soooo good but not too strong. I don't have much to say because there is nothing to complain about. The people were very friendly and they can speak English. It's really cute inside. La vache qui rit was quite good too. Very peppery which I liked. Definitely come here and try it out! read more

Poutine Centrale is in a neighborhood close to the Olympic Park area. Food: Poutine served with a variety of toppings along with a few other dishes to round up their menu. I had the regular poutine - deep fried fresh cut potatoes topped with cheese curds and gravy. Not bad. We also ordered one topped with a bolognese sauce which was hearty and flavorful. The pogo (corn dog) had a great homemade batter and was perfectly cooked. Service: You order at the counter and you pick it up at a counter too. You'll also bus your own tray when you're done. Cost: About CAD$55 after tax and tip for a small poutine, a large poutine with bolognese sauce, a pogo, and two sodas in a can. Overall: Bit pricey for what it was, but worth trying nonetheless. Interior is definitely geared towards folks not staying too long. Seats are built in stools with no backs. They take cash and cards. read more
