Had my first poutine here - now I'm hooked! Tasty meaty gravy, thick enough that the fries didn't get soggy. Fried ground beef, diced bacon, thin slices of hot dog sausage & melting fresh mozarrella-type cheese curds, etc. Just for carnivores!
Ate at Poutineville for my first time in July 2026! They had great vegan & gluten free options for the create your own poutine menu. The regular gravy is vegan & gluten free & they have vegan cheese. I added tomatoes & sautéed onions as toppings (each topping is an extra $1.75). The poutine was amazing! The junior size was plenty for one person. I felt satisfied. Also enjoyed the red sangria. Glad I got to enjoy a traditional Quebec staple food while traveling here! Merci! 🍟
We ordered the junior french poutine & omg the size & the taste! This is the best poutine I have tasted so far, despite the extra fried fries. The junior poutine is also quite filling for one person. We also had the Dulce de lèche cheesecake. We liked it too. The service was quick & the staff were very polite. We didn't have to wait for a place.
We went again after two weeks, & this time the experience was not so great, the platter of starters was just too oily. The Mexican poutine was nice. I'm done with exploring poutines.

It's a diner, well sort of, specializing in poutine. But, we enjoyed some craft beers, chicken wings with 2 sauces, & grilled cheese sticks, for a late afternoon snack because we had skipped lunch. The server was lovely, friendly, & very attentive. Even though it was around 3 pm on a Monday afternoon, the restaurant was bustling with people, & busy. A nice little spot on a main street, just 5 minutes away from the Old City.
It was a rainy day & this place was right across the street from our hotel so I went over & got a large Philly cheese steak submarine sandwich with fries to go. Great service & the sandwiches were absolutely delicious, my wife & I shared this & there was enough for later!
I love this place! We traveled from Vancouver, & after eating here, we realized we had never actually tasted real poutine before. I was worried it might be too heavy, but wow - it was absolutely delicious. I should have asked for her name, but the staff member who helped us was incredibly kind. She recommended the poutine, explained how to eat it properly, & even told us about the different types of cheese. We learned so many things we would never have known if we hadn't visited this place. Next time, I definitely want to try other dishes too. Highly recommend!
It is the best poutine restaurant. The real potato fries are fried to perfection. The gravy tastes so good. Too many other restaurants fry the fries too brown. My favorite is Philly beef & cheese poutine. If you have a big appetite, then get the mega size. You get a really satisfying meal. The cosmo ros? drink is great. The service is fast & wonderful. We will come back here again.
We got a nice quiet table in the back, no line & fairly empty for 6:30 on a Saturday which was nice. There are an overwhelming number of menu options, but we got the phili cheese poutine & chicken fingers with salad. I was very happy with the chicken fingers & salad, it had cheese & lots of diced tomatoes, with onions, red pepper & regular lettuce not the cheap iceberg kind. The chicken fingers were crispy with lots of batter, just perfect to go with the salad. They came with BBQ sauce, the good dark kind, not the runny pale stuff. The poutine was okay, lots of onions but not as much meat. The diet coke was small & kind of flat. The service was great, & the food came out quick. I heard it gets much busier later at night though. I would go back for sure.
Stick to the poutine as its excellent with fresh cut fries, very flavorful gravy & nice sized cheese curds. Pulled pork & smoked meat are average. Very casual deco
In my opinion, a poutine served without the cheese curds melting is a big miss. A shame, the ingredients seem to be rather great, simply served without gravy/fries that were hot enough to make decent poutine.
