| - I found this little place in Old Montreal while walking around. As I was looking at their tempting menu which was pasted outside the restaurant, the kind doorman invited us inside.
The restaurant seemed somewhat like a cafeteria- the décor consisted of plants and t-shirts that were hung around the place reading "I love Montreal" or "I love poutine". The tables and chairs were made out of steal and the chairs were uncomfortable. Montreal poutine had a backyard outdoor patio as well which many people preferred sitting in. The staff was super friendly but the service was extremely slow and non-existent. It took forever for our waiter to take my order, the food took a while to arrive, and after the food arrived, the waiter disappeared. I had to wait at least 25min for the waiter to be in sight again in order to ask for the bill.
Putting that behind, the food at Montreal poutine was really good and I'm craving it everyday! The menu consisted of a variety of poutine, salads, pizza etc. Oh, the "I love poutine" t-shirt was also on the menu. I tried the smoked meat poutine and their chicken caesar salad. The portions were generous, and the food was fresh and delicious! The poutine consisted of perfectly done thick fries, drowned in gravy with a good amount of cheese curds, topped off with tender pieces of smoked meat. My chicken caesar was big, yummy and fresh too. The salad consisted of mozzarella cheese and shredded chicken on greens with strips of crispy bacon- this is perhaps the best chicken caesar I've ever had! The prices were inexpensive too which was awesome.
Overall, Montreal Poutine restaurant has great food and prices, but do expect horrifying service and ugly décor.
