Braised Beef and Curd Cheese
or
Well, I'll be a Son of a Bitch
Poutineville is the grease spoon to kill all grease spoon(and far better than Greasy Spoon).
I've been twice, each time I simply ordered food to go but whilst waiting for my order I took in the place. It is some good eating.
Putting interesting spins on classic Quebec poutine, I'd go for Poutineville over La Banquaise any day of the week but hey, that is just me.
On our first visit, the owner(Costa?) was kind enough to provide a complementary braised beef poutine with blue cheese and a red wine gravy. I am a purist like fellow Yelper, Mathieu B. when it comes to poutine but holy hell if this thing didn't sway me in the other direction.
And like any good dealer, shelling out things that are horribly addictive...the first one was free...but the next one will cost ya.
Stop waiting in line @ La Banquaise like a douche bag and go and try Poutineville, you won't regret it.

When in Montreal....you go to the place with a name that promises nothing but poutine.
And then you leave blissfully stuffed and happy that the promise was fulfilled.
First off, the service is fantastic! Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and patient - with the build-your-own-poutine menu, we needed some guidance. She even brought us a sample of their signature smashed potatoes (écrassées) to taste before ordering.
After much deliberation, le boy and I decided to split a grande (it truly is!) Classique, which includes cheese curds, braised beef, the aforementioned potatoes, and a red-wine gravy/sauce. Seriously, one of the most satisfying simple dishes I've ever had! And definitely as far as poutine goes, the flavors were balanced and not too salty, which is what usually happens to other poutines that I've had.
In a futile effort to balance out the meal with something light, we also shared the grande warm goat-cheese and eggplant salad. Turns out they know how to make delicious "healthy" fare here too!
Miraculously, I still had room for dessert and got the brownie cheesecake. It felt a bit like an afterthought (tasted like grocery-store variety), but I can't fault them too much for it - it's doubtful that many people have any room for dessert after a meal at Poutineville.
After I leave Montreal, this meal is one that I'll be trying to replicate back home unsuccessfully, I fear. -

Although I am a resident of Poutineville, aka Montreal, I honestly don't eat poutine very often. Perhaps once every six months. I mean, I like to keep my belly rolls down to a minimum of three. Anyways, this place recently made a "Best Eats" list so a few friends and I decided to see if its rating was legit. I have to say, I was pretty excited about the fact that you get to check off not only the kind of potatoes you want, but also what kind of cheese, meat, veggies, and sauce you want. And, you get to use a big fat pencil to do the ticking. As a result, I was delighted, and I swear that pencil is now NOT sitting on my desk at home. After a wee think, I decided on my own special poutine, which I must admit, was not very adventurous. However, I did get to witness a friend order cut up Pogo's on his, so I momentarily lived vicariously through him (see line about keeping my belly rolls to a min. of 3).
The poutine was great, the service was super, and in six months when it's time for me to get my poutine fix, I may just avoid the Plateau's poutine hot spot (we all know where I mean) and return to the coolest poutine place in the land - Poutineville! -
Review from Khanh L.
Poutine is pretty much everywhere in montreal...
We recently moved to Rosemont area recently and took a break from unpacking, so naturally we walked around the neighborhood to get something to eat, and this place is just around the corner...
They have signature fries called ecrasé in their poutine, which consists of unpeeled wedges which are boiled then crushed then fried, it gives the fries more surface area to develop a crust. It's quite nice.
There are quite a few choices, the standard varieties are there, like bacon, pizza and galvaude... and you get a little score menu where you can make your own, and you can check off what you want like in a sushi resto.
My friend had the godfather poutine which tasted like pizza, and I made my own with bacon, cheddar, cold slaw and red wine sauce, it was nice, it had some tanginess of the cold slaw with salty bacon (real bacon, thick cut pieces), and sharp cheddar to tie it all together.
The poutine are about 12$ each, a bit on the pricier side, but it's good and the portions are huge. We also order a sample appetizer which had chicken wings, fried pickles, onion rings and fried cheese sticks, served with salsa and spicy mayo.
Yummy, I definitely think it's better than la banquise, and the place always seems to be full when we pass by.
On the menu there is this poutine called the heart attack!!! it's served in a huge frying pan, and it costs 50$!!! for 10-12 pounds of fries!!! -

Very pleased with my experience at Poutineville. We were a party of 20 and the service was fantastic! The food came out fast with no mistakes! And it was DELICIOUS! The portions were extremely generous. Only order the large size if you want to induce a food coma.

Continuing on my hunt for the quality poutine spots in Montreal I had an opportunity to visit Poutineville last night with some friends.
The awesome:
- the order form that made me feel like I was taking an exam back in university, but seriously the variety of options and the "design your own poutine" thing was very cool (image: http://www.flickr.com/...)
- funky lamps, comfy booths and decor in the restaurant
- my friend Julie getting a super cool surprise from the owner (I won't spoil it in case Poutineville want to offer it again sometime) because she had tweeted about the restaurant earlier. I just LOVE that they have an active presence on social media - facebook and twitter. Way to connect!
The poutine:
- I ordered the classic and it was good. I particularly loved the fries they used. The cheese (grains frais) wasn't my fave (I like it super squeaky) but combined with the super fries and poutine maison sauce, worked nicely.
- I tried a bit of Julie's order (onions, peppers, tomatoes and bacon) and it was yummy.
Overall:
I see now why people rave about this place. It's definitely worth checking out. -

excellent service-- server spoke english and french and also gave us some tips on places to see and visit. the owner made sure we were happy with our food choices and overall was entertaining and very friendly.
food- ask for the specials and definitely go for the house potatoes vs usual french fries. you can order the original poutine or you can build and customize your own, which is a lot of fun!
they also serve alcohol here which is a bonus.
ambiance is fun and very trendy. parking is easy to find. -

Great fun place. Good service friendly and helpful. Been there twice yummy poutines of course but the ribs and burgers were juicy yummy as well. Do yourself a favor and always say yes to the coleslaw it is the best I've had anywhere and I don't usually like coleslaw.
