Best Poutines.
See All Lists
1. Restaurant MA-Am-M Bolduc
Poutine: thick and rich peppery gravy , crisp french fries and appropriate cheese. The poutine vegetarienne is excellent also, but the traditional poutine will do just fine.
This is the best poutine in Montreal, right ahead of Poutine Lafleur in…More »
2. Poutine Lafleur
Ok, let's be honest. You never go to Verdun. You don't want to, and probably never will.
But after spending a couple years in Montreal, you may develop a passionate love for poutines. Not the kind of drunken one-night stand love, but one of slow…More »
3. Louis' Luncheonette
Sherbrooke, QC J1J 2E3
Canada
(819) 564-8221
Louis is one of the Eastern Township's staple establishments. With 3 locations (one on King Est street), Louis has been serving great sandwiches, hotdogs and burgers for decades. Some of the attendants are the same as 25 years ago, when I personally…More »
4. Restaurant Stratos Pizzeria
Pizzeria Stratos is a chain of Pizzerias from Trois-Riviere. They are located throughout Quebec, although none are in the greater Montreal area. I first tasted Stratos in Sherbrooke (2 franchises there), where most people actually still think it's a…More »
5. Chez Ashton
I'll be frank with you, I love arguing with Quebec City residents about how Ashton does NOT have the best poutine. And I always seem to find plenty of folks to argue with. Yet, Quebec-Montreal pride issues aside, there must be a logical reason for…More »
6. Restaurant Chez Claudette
Montreal, QC H2T 1G7
Canada
(514) 279-5173
Chez Claudette is your typical Quebec diner. For breakfast, substitute egg and bacon by ham and beans. For lunch, try a delicious poutine with a homemade gravy or steamed hot-dogs (all dressed: sauerkraut, pickles et mustard).
This places does it…More »
7. Cantine Ben La Bedaine
I was very excited to go to Chez Ben. They have the reputation of having the best poutine in Granby, and I've even heard some people (from Granby) say it's the best in the province. The owners certainly seem to think so too, as can be seen on their…More »
8. Au Roi Du Coq Roti
This review is misleading, as this restaurant is indefinitely closed. Conflicts between the employees and the owners have led to a lock out, and the place doesn't seem to have been opened for a while.
I had been going to "Le Coq" since I was 6, about…More »
9. Frites Alors
Montreal, QC H2X 2T6
Canada
(514) 840-9000
Categories:
Canadian (Traditional),
Belgian
I've been going to Frites alors for about 5 years. Most of the time, I am quite happy with ordering a large fry for two, two beers, and a handful of different sauces/dips to try. Their sauces are excellent for most of them, and their fries are always…More »
10. Casse Croute Normand
Verdun, QC H4G 1N1
Canada
(514) 765-9194
I had high expectations, but ended up disappointed. It's not a bad poutine, but nothing fantastic.
Fries: frozen hand cut fries (there is such a thing). Not quite homemade.
Gravy: powder based sauce (not an actual gravy). Like Dave I like the…More »
11. Cantine Chez Paul
Chez Paul is your typical quebec diner with coffee, burgers and poutine. It is located on the main, which means it is easy access from little shops, bars and restaurants located on main street. When we sat it (a Wednesday at 16:30), the place was…More »
12. Resto Bar Milan
Verdun, QC H4G 1N5
Canada
(514) 767-3135
At $3.50 tx.inc., very cheap poutine. $5 for the big portion. Very salty pre-made gravy, good fresh cheese. My only complain is that the potatoes were a little bit sloppy and not crispy enough. Overall a good cheap eat, except for the $1.75 coke can…More »
13. Restaurant St-Hubert Rotisserie
Montreal, QC H1W 1B2
Canada
(514) 527-3604
If you'd ask a Quebecois to name the first restaurant name that came to mind, St-Hubert would likely only come second behind McDonalds. It's arguably Quebec's best large BBQ chain.
There's a reason for this. The chicken is delicious and so are the…More »
14. Resto-Bar La Belle Province
Verdun, QC H4G 1L4
Canada
(514) 761-6100
This is one odd little neighborhood diner. I'm not generally a fan of la belle province. I find their food to be slightly below average your typical diner food, and their prices tend to be relatively expensive. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be very…More »
15. Restaurant Au Coq Rotisseries
With a name so unoriginal (how many rotisseries have au Coq in their name?), one shouldn't be surprised by their food offerings both in content but quality.
It's a rotisserie. You can various forms of chicken, and fries. Nothing special here.
I tried…More »
16. Jimmy's Old Town Tavern
Sometimes, by chance, you stumble onto something magical. Waiters wearing Munich aprons (for octoberfest), dancing/hopping around and truly excited to be there. A place so busy and happy that an older seemingly somewhat stuffy couple gladly let their…More »
17. Mile End
With t-poutine closed, Pomme Frites remains the only decent poutine I had found in the city. Poutine, the furious mess of fries, cheddar cheese curds and gravy, is the real staple Quebec food. Takes Salt+fat = heaven to a whole new level.
The Mile End…More »
18. Salt House
** (kind of) poutine only review **
For those of you who have never been to Quebec, Poutine is the quintessential Quebec food experience that Canadians enjoy (see CBC greatest Canadian invention at #10, ahead of the alkaline battery, the blackberry,…More »
19. All Star Sandwich Bar
** poutine only review **
The All Star Sandwich Bar has been serving poutine since 2006, long before it became popular in Boston and NYC. Their poutine is simple: Fresh fresh, homemade gravy, and salty cheese. Now, they can't get the cheese curds…More »

** poutine only review **
Poutine (English pronunciation pou-teen; pou-ts-inn in French) is a Quebec dish that consists of three elements: fries, cheddar cheese curds, and gravy. Sounds simple? It's easy to mess up. See my reviews of Boston's own The…More »
21. Restaurant La Paryse
Although I've been told they make the burgers in Montreal, I felt like having a poutine and gave theirs a try as I was looking for a semi-quick fix in the area.
The poutine was lacking two of the three key ingredients to a good poutine: squick-squick…More »
22. Restaurant La Belle Province
Verdun, QC H4G 1W8
Canada
(514) 362-9927
Another La Belle Province (this one IS part of the chain, not all are).
Typical La Belle Pronvince junk. hotdogs are okay, and the buns are from the IGA right across the street.
The poutine is a dissapointment. Orange-ish commercial mix,…More »

Poutine!!
Born in Quebec but living in Pennsylvania now, I try to get poutine any chance I get. I had to come to Boston for a conference, and getting poutine became a priority :)
If you haven't heard of poutine, it's normally hand cut french fries,…More »
24. The Gallows
** poutine only review **
I've reviewed close to 20 different poutines until now, and I'll try to articulate why I think some are better than others.
Traditionally, a poutine is Fresh cut fries, a chicken gravy (made from chicken fat, salted) and…More »
25. Monsieur Poutine
The name, Mr Poutine, made me curious. It sounds a little pretentious, but can they back it up? I thought it was especially likely, given that they are also a fromagerie (Fromagerie du matin) and make their own curds on location.
The basics for a…More »
26. Restaurant Au Pot Au Feu Pizzeria
If you ever attended the Universite de Sherbrooke, you probably can't recall le pot au feu and not express some kind of nostalgia. For so many years, this little neighborhood restaurant has been the source of delicious drunken poutine experiences.

27. Harvey's
Niagara Falls, ON L2G 1V4
Canada
(905) 371-3511
It is so sad that a Quebecer in exile to the States could only find a decent poutine at Harvey's during his visit to Ontario. I tried 4, and they were all absolutely miserable except for Harvey's.
The right cheddar cheese curds (they store them in…More »
28. Taps Brewing Company
Niagara Falls, ON L2E 2L8
Canada
(289) 477-1010
Categories:
Restaurants,

Excellent beers although, as others have point out, their selection is limited. Their premium lager and their cream ale were excellent (for a beer loving non-snob, and I left a very happy man if you know what I mean.
The decor is very industrial…More »
29. Burger King Restaurants
Niagara Falls, ON L2G 3N5
Canada
(905) 357-3550
I generally love BK. In the states, in a great way of getting a decent burger for a buck. Being a Quebecer, I was thrilled to get a chance to visit Canada and hoped for finding a decent poutine. Unfortunately, BK's poutine is just as I remember it:…More »
30. O'Sullivan's Irish Pub
5 stars for the atmosphere, service and prices (all of which others have heavily commented on), -1 star for Canada Day's poutine.
If you don't know, poutine is the quintessential Canadian dish. This furious mix fries, squeeky-salty curds and gravy is…More »
31. Restaurant Bert
Sherbrooke, QC J1H 1W4
Canada
(819) 821-2076
Restaurant Bert, or Chez Bert, is a tiny dinner on Aberdeen slight north of downtown sherbrooke. It's a favorite spot of locals, who seem to be crowding the place at most times of the day. It attempts to emulate small American diners: a bar with 4…More »
32. T Poutine - CLOSED
I LOVE poutine. It's the one thing I can't wait to go back to when I visit the family in Quebec over Christmas (call me asocial if you wish). I cook it a couple times a month (more wouldn't be healthy) and also make a point of eating it whenever…More »
33. Flying Saucer Drive-In
One star because it's in a saucer. Everything else at this restaurant was abysmal. We stood at the entrance of the saucer for about 5min before anybody acknowledged us, and were sat in a tiny little corridor between the saucer's "main room" and the…More »

This place has great beers (like the 80/- for instance, kolsh was ok), and great atmosphere, but I really wish they didn't ruin my visit with their miserable version of poutine.
For those of you who don't know, poutine is the staple French Canadian…More »
35. In-N-Out Burger
I love in-n-out burgers, but I love poutine even more. When somebody mentioned that Animal styles fries were like poutine, I had to try. Oh gross. the onions, the bad cheese, and the hard consistency. Never again. I'll keep the animal style on the…More »
36. Ail Y'ail Y'ail
Onions, green peppers, light garlic sauce, cheese and fries. Not your typical poutine even when considering all of the new-types (steak, italian, veggie) that you can find around in Montreal.
Although it gets a plus for originality, the was all at the…More »
