Per my cousin N's recommendation, we stopped by here with the family and had dinner here.
There was a long line for Ma Poule Mouillee. It probably took us around 30 minutes to get in.
Food is cheap here and portions are big. It was approximately 70 CAD to feed the 8 people.
I definitely recommend you stop by here if you are craving for some poutine.
We ordered the following:
- Portuguese Chicken - Chicken was delicious and the meat was tender.
- Salad Matilde (Chicken Salad) Great to share between 2 people.
- Combo Veronique (fries, salad, grilled chicken combo) Huge portion. Note that the fries that come in this combo is not the poutine ones. It's just plain fries.
- Poutine with cheese, chicken, and chorizo - This is the highlight of Ma Poule Mouillee. The poutine is slightly spicy but nothing you shouldn't be able to handle. It has a nice kick in the mouth. It's a bit on the salty side so remember to have a beverage on hand.
- Portuguese Tarts - Decided to try some Portuguese tarts per Yelp's recommendation and they were just OK. I was a little let down by this because I had such high hopes for this. This was too sweet for me. I mean like half a tart was more than enough for me. The center of the tart is very eggy and pudding like. The crust was layered but it was slightly chewy. I am not sure if the chewiness is attributed to the fact that the tart has been baked earlier in the day and sitting on the counter for a while. I actually like the Chinese Portuguese Tart from Taipan in NYC more. The Chinese version is more layered and flakier. It's has a nice crunch and it's also less sweet.
