Ma Poule Mouillée

This is a wonderful dive. It's not too much to look at and be prepared to wait; but, man, that food is so worth it. The portions are cartoonishly big and the food is soulful. The poutine is balanced and very flavorful and the chicken is moist and tasty. It looks like a greasy spoon, but there is nothing greasy about it. I will definitely eat here every time I am in Montreal!

Their grilled calamari and Portuguese chicken were AMAZING! The chicken still tasted delicious even when it was cold. They truly worked some magic with their sauce. I didn’t try their famous poutine, and now I really regret it. I’ll definitely be coming back when I get the chance!

I recently returned here for the first time in about 10 years and was extremely disappointed. The poutine was not the miracle I tasted the first time and my chicken thigh meal was no better as the chicken just tasted greasy and I could barely taste the spicy piri piri sauce I asked for. The rice I got also tasted very bland.nnThis was a very strong disappointment for me. I expected them to live up to their fantastic reputation and it didn't even come close.nnI'm genuinely baffled.

Ma Poule Mouillée is always a great choice for Portuguese chicken and I find they have the best poutine in the city. For the price, you are getting a huge portion and everything is amazing. I give their poutine a solid 9/10 with the star being the chicken and the sauce. The cheese curds are very good and the chorizo is also a nice touch. The fries are pretty good but are the lowest point of the dish. I can’t express enough how good the chicken is, they nail it! If you come in the early evening, get ready to wait for a table but for lunch during the week it’s perfect.

As a lover of Portuguese chicken, I had to try this place and I was not disappointed. The poutine is hands down one of the best deals in the city. The portion size was huge easily two full, delicious meals, and the flavor balance was spot on. I expected something heavy or greasy, but even with the chorizo, it wasn’t overly fatty at all just perfectly rich and flavorful. The chicken itself was excellent, and the service was quick and friendly. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fresh, modern twist on classic poutine.
