When it comes to poutine, I like the classic: fries, gravy, cheese curds. Occasionally, I'll add hot dogs. No Michigan sauce (yes, they call it Michigan sauce), no smoked meat, or any of the other add-ons that have become trendy over the years. Poutineville offers both. In addition to a menu of poutine choices: mac and cheese, General Tao, Philly steak, Hat Trick, and Stroganoff, you can also build your own, where you select different fries (regular, julienne, sweet potato), cheeses (curds, mozzarella, cheddar, and Swiss), gravies (regular, red wine, butter, maple, cream, etc), and toppings (egg, hot dog, corn dog, gyro, smoked meat, etc). I had considered the Hat Trick, which included bacon, hot dogs, and ground beef, but in the end, I stuck with the classic, but added extra cheese curds. I loved the crunchy and tender fries. However, I would have preferred a bolder sauce and melted cheese curds. IMO, the best poutines have cheese layered so there is a cheese pull, like in a good French onion soup, a mozzarella stick, or pizza. My sister's Stroganoff poutine was interesting and included thinly sliced steak, mushrooms, onions, two types of cheese, and a cream sauce. We both ordered the smaller size, but I was just not able to finish - so be sure to bring your appetite. We both liked our server, who ably tended to all the tables. On the day of our visit, there were large groups of friends and family, all happily sampling the variety of poutines.
While exploring Montreal, we stopped by Poutinville after a late start to our day. None of us had a specific craving, but the menu full of creative poutine options quickly won us over. I ordered the China Poutine, which came topped with fried chicken and flavors inspired by Chinese cuisine. It was far better than expected--savory, unique, and surprisingly reminiscent of an actual Chinese dish. My friends went with the classic version, and they thoroughly enjoyed it as well. The restaurant was short-staffed during our visit, but our waitress did an excellent job managing the tables on her own. Despite the wait, the experience was worth it. If I lived in Montreal, I'd happily return to try more of their inventive poutine creations.
The food was very good and the service was excellent. It was our first time trying poutine here, and our server was extremely helpful with recommendations. Everything came out quickly and fresh, and the portions were very generous. Definitely shareable and great value.
It offers a great varieties of poutines. If you like poutine, it'd be a great place to try. The staff was friendly and professional. The setup was simple. I liked my Montrealor and it came with a fried dill pickle
The food was amazing first time experience! The staff very friendly and the ambiance feels right at home! Never felt out of place. 10/10
I was with a group of people who wanted poutine for dinner, but in our party we had 2 with gluten issues, one being severe. Fortunately, she uses a website or application that provides useful information. Poutine can be a challenge, because sometimes the gravy contains gluten. Fortunately, Poutineville, in general, gets good marks. Unfortunately, there are 5 of them in Montreal, only 3 of them rate well on gluten-free - this one was the best and most convenient, and we all had a very satisfying dinner, with a variety of poutines, and zero issues. We started with several types of drinks which included non-alcoholic and alcoholic, and of those it was a variety of beers and cocktails. These all came out quickly. My cocktail was quite strong. Apart from those ordering gluten-free poutines, the rest of us ordered from their "International" menu. Mine was the Portuguese, which focused on chorizo. Again everything came out quickly. Now, were the poutines authentic/traditional? Some were. Were they delicious? Absolutely. But I was amazed at just how many garden peas were atop my poutine. I have nothing against peas, just surprised at it. With so many places in Montreal to get poutine, this wouldn't necessarily be high on my list in general, but it definitely worked out very well for this particular group of friends.
I love poutine! As an American no one does poutine like Canadians... every time I go to Canada I look for an excuse to eat poutine damn near every day. The reviews were good- so we hopped an Uber and went 20 mins for dinner. They were busy- I'll give them that, but when we saw the pile of dishes on the bar that hadn't been bussed and the tables full of people without plates in front of them and line at the door we should've known to go ahead and leave. We had a party of six and we were seated after about 10 minutes. We waited another 10 minutes and had our order taken. Then the real wait started. 45 minutes later and we still did not have our food. We checked with the waitress and then suddenly two of the meals we ordered arrived. Clearly, they had been sitting in the window for quite some time. The plate itself was hot, but the food was not. My mother-in-law got a veggie sandwich that was literally a quarter of an inch of grilled vegetables and some cheese on a giant bun. I wouldn't judge them on that alone. It's a poutine place not a sandwich shop and definitely not someplace for vegan food. She got regular fries, and they were soggy, logged with grease, and cold. Finally, my poutine came out... it was literally just a side order of poutine and I also ordered a pogo. My poutine was ice cold. Not even a little warm. I couldn't even eat it. I couldn't get the server's attention to have her take it back and heat it up or bring me something else. At that point, I would've been happy with a salad or something cold, as long asI got to ear after 12 hours of travel. Everyone at the table had their food and was finished and my pogo still had not arrived. She comes after the third time of me asking her and another server and brought me a plate that was so hot she couldn't hold it, but the corndog itself was cold. I didn't even bite into it, I touched the outside, felt that it was cold, and broke it open, and it was not even warm on the inside. Clearly our food was prepared, it just was never ran. I don't know if they had a shortage of servers or what, but at that point stop taking DoorDash and Uber eats orders and focus on your diners. Food was going out the front door, but nothing was coming to our table. Nothing we got the entire meal was hot or fresh. I handed my food back almost as soon as it came to the table, and they still tried to charge me for it. The food was inedible to begin with, but who wants to sit and eat when your entire table has already had their meal and is ready to go? What a shit experience. So here I am in my hotel eating a pb&J I scraped together from the breakfast nook.
There are quite a few poutine spots in the area but decided to try this one. The reviews were really good and there were so many varieties of poutine. We placed an order ahead and the order was ready for pickup in a timely manner. The poutine was really good. Everything was very flavorful. You can make whatever modifications you need on the different types of poutine so it is to your liking. You also get a hefty portion so there's a good chance you'll have leftovers. My only critique would be the amount of cheese curds on the poutineville poutine. There were significantly less curds than on the farmer poutine. Other than that, they were both delicious.
I've only ever had poutine in Montreal, and I went back to have it again! From an American standpoint, this restaurant kind of gave me a family, friendly vibe with your standard poutine and milkshakes. You can also play board games while you eat! Handicap-accessible single stall bathrooms in the back.
When in Canada, poutine is a must. Stopped here after a concert late at night and glad they were opened. The service was ok and can definitely use some attentiveness. We ordered the China large and classic large to split amongst 5 people. The fries weren't as crispy as I thought it would be and the chicken in the general Tso was severely dry. I would stick to the classic. Overall not bad.
Poutineville is a great spot for those wanting poutine and only poutine (not necessarily authentic poutine, but poutine nonetheless). How many times can one write 'poutine' in a review, I wonder? We got the classic poutine with cheese curds and gravy, as well as the option with pork on top. The fries were excellent, the sauce was flavorful, and they have plenty of 'internationally-themed' poutine options! Only reason I'm knocking off a star is related to the service and interior, which were both nothing to write home about.
I was glad that we experienced it. First time in Montreal and it lived up to expectations. The gravy was tasty and I wish it was not as salty but what do you expect with ham?. But the fries went soggy fast. Who ever invented it must like mushy food?
Pretty good and quick poutine service. We went with the Montreal poutine. Very filling and decently priced. Probably would have liked more spice or flavor, we added jalapeños. Casual ambiance. But all in all, good poutine. Maybe not the best but definitely hits the craving.

Tried the Montrealer and some drinks. Sitting area has skidding door that opens to street. Indoor seating while feeling like you are outside. Great flavor and friendly service! read more
Not bad but not the best poutine I've had in Canada. I expected the fries to be better quality, a little softer and fresher than they were. I did a create-your-own with pulled pork, carmelized onions, cheese curds, and poutine sauce. The toppings were pretty quality and I liked the pulled pork. They put too much sauce on it for my taste but the flavor was good. Place has lots of seating available and it's open super late so it's not a bad choice for a late snack. Server was also super nice and prices are reasonable. read more

The reviews were good- so we hopped an Uber and went 20 mins for dinner.

Gotta have poutine while in Canada and Poutineville does it so well! There are pages of options to pick from! I love the world options with different elements from national favorite dishes. The poutines are cheesy, savory, and so delicious. Each regular portion is huge and very filling! The restaurant is big and spacious so lots of seating is available. read more

During our recent trip to Montreal I realized that I never really had poutine. So obviously we had to try it while we were visiting. Poutineville happened to be close to out Airbnb and had good reviews so we gave it a try. They had some options that you could order or you could make your own poutine. Some of their options were international flavors which was a neat idea. They also had the choices of regular fries, sweet potato fries, tots or mashed potato's as the base. My significant other chose the large portion of make your own which was regular fries, gravy, cheese curds and chicken. I chose the standard portion of the Portuguese menu option. The base was sweet potato fries and the toppings were peas, cheese curds, chorizo, feta and gravy. Both meals were delicious and I wondered how I have not tried loaded fries for dinner before! The toppings were fresh and generous on both meals and we both had plenty to take home. A fun dinner, glad we were able to try it. read more

Excellent poutine, milkshakes, everything! While they were quite busy at lunchtime on a weekday, my group of 7 was seated right away and our drinks arrived quickly. My daughters' milkshakes were simple and freakin good! Our food took a while to arrive but they were severely understaffed due to a couple employees calling out sick. Though their menu's vast with burgers, salads, hot dogs, subs, and more, their poutine is a MUST with several pre-selected combinations and over 50 "Create Your Own" options. My hubs thoroughly enjoyed his "Quebec Sugar Shack Poutine" of meat galore which came with bacon, ham, sausage, cheese curds, a fried egg, and maple gravy that wasn't too sweet. Then my savory "French Onion Poutine" super satisfied with cheese curds, caramelized plus crispy onions, mushrooms, Swiss cheese, and wine sauce. I highly recommend this spot! NOTES/TIPS: **Street parking was easy **Gender-neutral restroom **Huge kid's meals, excellent service, fair prices, full bar read more

Let me caveat this and say that service was absolutely amazing . . . but the food was filling but unsatisfying. We were full, but we didn't feel good. Poutine was a good experience. I think I would have regretted not trying the dish as a signature food item in Canada, but it's simply not for me (and for the price, it was not worth it). FOOD We got a custom poutine with Philadelphia cheesesteak, pork, beef, cheese curds, tomatoes, grilled onions, with pepper sauce, and then a Farmer's Delight. Since we were hungry, we had a few good bites, but we would not recommend getting a whole dish as a meal. Splitting with a friend (or four) would be ideal as the dish becomes dull after a few bites. We ended up finishing a quarter of it before packing it to-go. Our walk back to our hotel left us feeling full but unsatisfied, but nonetheless in a good mood because of the amazing service. SERVICE Our waiter (I believe his name was Nick) was incredibly sweet. He took his time to explain how ordering at the restaurant worked and gave us his recommendations. He was also quick to help whether we needed hot sauce or our check. Overall, we would rate the dishes a 2/5 and service a 5/5, but this meal just wasn't for us. read more

This was the last spot we ate at in Montreal. It was actually Poutineville Bishop. I chose the place due to the good reviews. I ordered the lie specialty... Poutine with braised beef and red wine sauce. My partner order poutine with chicken wings, spicy sauce ahh jalapeño. We both enjoyed the meal. It was quite filling. I would definitely visit again. read more

Snowy evening in the city, many spots were closed in the area to brace for a storm (and the holidays). Thankfully, this spot was still open, with barely anyone inside for dine-in service. Opted for something different and got the "Montrealer" ($14). An assortment of fries, smoked meat, mushrooms, swiss cheese, fried pickle, and some sauce. Definitely more of a cheese-fries dish than a poutine but good nonetheless. Plenty of cheese over a large helping of crisped fries. Loved the fried pickle on top that had a thin coat of breading. Wished there was more smoked meat in the dish, as it felt skimpy on that end. Washed it all down with a local.draft beer ($7ish) Do like the fact they have vegetarian options, as well as plenty of non-poutine items. A solid no-fuss option in the city. read more

The smashed potatoes weren't my thing a little heavy and seemed to unbalance the taste and the Montreal smoked meat looked like it was cut from a deli vs the fresher offering at La Banquise. The cheese curds were really good and squeaky. I'm more of an order something simple and well done (NY Cheese Pizza, Black Milk Tea) vs a dish with a bunch of stuff on it, but the "France" poutine was really well done! It tasted like French onion soup, but in solid form and as someone who likes French onion soup that was a great surprise. I'd go for the interesting takes on poutine vs the staple here. read more

Got: classic poutine, gyro sandwich, veggie sandwich Price: $10 + $4 for large poutine and add-ons. $9 for each sandwich Value: nice sit down spot with fair prices. Can get expensive if you want lots of poutine add ons Lemme start by saying that the poutine is great! They have two options for your potatoes (crushed or regular fries). The crushed potatoes are in a scalloped shape then crushed with more exposed surface area. They have a dedicated paper where you can customize/add toppings to your poutine. There's a sweet potato fries option and vegan cheese option. They have a gluten free and vegetarian option for gravy (their traditional one). Their sandwiches were slightly salty and the bread was overly fried. The bread was crispy but slightly too hard. We also got chicken wings which were meh. They weren't crispy and were dry. Soggy in excess sauce. Overall, their poutine is great. The crushed potato option is novel and adds variation to the traditional fry shape. Their other food is ok but nothing superb. I personally wouldn't make poutine a whole meal but I'd recommend for good, customizable poutine. read more
This was the suggestion of a local and it could be the best or the worst - i don't know because i only have poutine once every few years. What i can say is i thought it was good - had some heat, was flavorful, and the curds squeaked when you ate them which i have been told Is the sign of a good poutine. read more
Good service, good food, casual atmosphere, tight space can be very crowded. They were very busy when we went on the weekday both tourist and locals go to this place. That's how you know. This place is very popular. Poutine it's not something that we used to eat but since we are visiting Montreal, we wanted to give it a try . As a matter fact, most of the restaurants in Montreal serve poutine. Amongst all those restaurants, we decide to try poutineville. We ordered a traditional poutine , and a pull pork poutine. We couldn't finish all. Definitely like the flavors and the local beer is refreshing. Street parking only if you drive , otherwise, it's very convenient if you come on foot. read more

I wanted to try poutine while in Montreal and was told this was the place to do it. It's hard to gauge whether this is bad poutine in general or whether it's my own personal preference but I absolutely hated it! I had it delivered and threw out the whole thing after a couple of bites (I got the spicy one that has blue cheese). I guess it's worth trying if you want to experience local cuisine, and apparently this is where one does that, but it's not for me lol read more
This was some LEGENDARY poutine. I got the smashed potatoes, standard gravy, cheese curds+swiss, gyro+smoked meat. Their smashed potatoes are deliciously crisped - definitely better than normal julienned fries. The gyro is delicious, the cheese curds are delicious, the dish isn't too salty. Everything was well-balanced (as well-balanced as an unhealthy meal like this can be). GOOD STUFF. Best poutine I've had so far as an American. read more

The facade is deceptive. The FOOD on the other hand is DELIVIOUS... and the DRINKS! I had a coconut martini that was ABSOLUTELY delivious! If you don't like the standard list of offerings... you can construct your own. You are provided with a list of ingredients and a pencil. They also offer burgers, hot-dogs, subs and a sundry of other items. Not expensive... and the plates are much larger than expected. read more
