| - Solid place for Portuguese chicken. I much prefer it to Romados for a variety of reasons: the interior is cuter and has more seating, the prices include tax and last time I compared it with Romados, I think Ma Poule came out slightly cheaper (not sure if it's still the case, since I noticed a few weeks ago that some items at Ma Poule increased in price by a dollar or so), and most importantly, Ma Poule has juicier chicken which does better the next day. I always found Romados to be very dry and not enjoyable the following day. I also like how Poule packs the side salad in its own box to save you from having drenched and soggy fries if you do take out. I used to hate taking Romados home, because the fries would be covered in dressing, and the chicken was usually packed rather carelessly. I also think Poule has slightly better fries, although they're still not what I call great (but you come here for spicy chicken!). I also want to note that I generally do not like poutine and avoid it everywhere else, but once I tried it here, I was hooked. It's definitely a great combo of spicy chicken, salty chorizo and salty sauce with decently fresh cheese curd. I would definitely pick this poutine over any other at La Banquise which is across the street. The small poutine can feed two easily and I don't suggest the large unless you have a massively massive appetite. Overall, a great place for a cheap, filling and happy meal!
