Gosh! I can only say kind things about this place. Portions and price were fantastic. We needed to have some poutine while we were in town and this was definitely the spot to do that!

Excellent poutine! I went with the classic since it was my very first one. Good fries, squeaky cheese, well-seasoned sauce and no insane wait times… what else could you ask for? Our server was friendly (in English and French) and efficient. Will definitely visit again if in the area again.

Chez Claudette is such a delightful spot and truly a must-visit for any foodie in Montreal! The charming exterior welcomes you inside, where you'll find a menu filled with delicious and super affordable comfort food classics—from hot dogs to hamburger steak to lasagna. But let’s talk about the real star here: their poutines! They serve up the best poutine ever, with crispy fries, rich savory gravy, and just the right amount of cheese curds. It's a dream come true for poutine and fries lovers! I couldn’t resist trying the "Grilled Chicken" poutine topped with bacon, along with a fluffy egg omelet, and oh boy, it was absolutely heavenly! The portions are generous, too, without breaking the bank. The service is fantastic, and the dining area is clean and spacious, making it such a pleasant experience. If you ever find yourself in Montreal, you absolutely owe it to yourself to stop by. I can't wait to go back on my next trip!

Perfect spot for a late evening meal that will put you to sleep soon after. Chez Claudette is a classic institution for a heart-warming poutine that will absolutely melt your face off. Their sauce contains whole peppercorns that add a lovely kick with every other bite.

I came here at the recommenion of some local friends and I totally loved it. Very nice ambiance and service. The menu has so many choices but their star dishes are the poutines. I took the Celine ones and they were very good. My advice is to take the small portion beacuse it is enough to feed a person no matter how hungry they are.

July 22, 2024

Food was decent but I don't think they are a big fan of tourists. Which is weird since Montreal is a tourist spot. But I'm sure they're well known in their area and could care less if tourists come to their restaurant or not. We came from Vancouver, B.C. and were recommended this place by our friend as a spot to go to. We came in and the server barely acknowledged us. Sat us down in the farthest corner and wouldn't even want to talk to us. Food was decent, but service was so bad I actually regret going there. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Ever.

Let me start by saying , Bob was great and service was amazing, BUT, good wise, not the greatest, sitting outside on the balcony in the rear, AC’s HOT air was blowing and it was a sauna, very uncomfortable to a point that you just want to devour your food and leave, DO NOT go on a hot day. So coming to the burger, 🍔 the bread was old and smelled funny, meat was good. Putin wasn’t the greatest but its edible, I’m not being rude, I’m just laying it as is to not have high hopes, its average Quebec food . Again, service was great, if not from the 2 servers , we would have walked away. I would have given 3 stars but just for Bob and the service I’m giving 4 ⭐️

Was looking forward to having poutine here as it was on the top 10 list. There was only one lady working the tables and take out orders. We were seated relatively quickly but it took a really long time to order. We ordered the classic poutine and also the smoked Meat poutine. Overall it was decent but not amazing. The gravy could have been hotter to melt the cheese curds. They forgot our drink order but they took it off the bill. They definitely need more than one server and not take customers for granted.

Sadness I didnt know this place and very unfortunately had the regrettable idea of bringing my son there for his birthday What a disappointment!!! Everything disappointed us! Firstly, it was as cold inside as outside, I wanted to put my coat back on Then, the menus I say to my boy: yakkk! There s a hair in my menu!! And since it is inserted under the protective plastic, it will never have the chance to fall and all the other customers will see it too!!! Really, its not starting well at all! It cuts your appetite My son tells me that he too has a hair in his menu and we look at each other with a perplexed and a little sad look Next, the waitress asks me if I want my burger all dressed, I ask whats in it and the answer is mustard relish. Hmm if it s not all dressed what is it?? Two dry bread? I tell him I dont want mustard, but I would like mayonnaise. So, no ketchup in all dressed??? Ok I get my burger without mayonnaise, just relish :/ The poutines we received were not appetizing the fries were soft and oily, not hot and tasted rancid! Wow!!! The viscous and almost cold sauce the cheese, very good As we had taken trios, fortunately the poutines were small! Because having had a big poutine, the disappointment would have been even greater! I wanted to add pepper to try to hide the mediocre taste of my poutine, but I did it wrong!! The pepper shaker slips out of my hands because its so oily! Absolutely disgusting!! Nothing wants to come out, since the grains are too big for the holes! So I opened it and what was there could not be identified by either my boy or me, but it looked more like ground bark than pepper! substance difficult to recognize, but one thing is certain: no taste of pepper! Doesnt look like pepper either! In conclusion, their poutine is abject. How can you fail a dish that only has 3 ingredients!!??? At least if it had been served hot but no The burger meatballs were fried, you would have thought they were deep fried. In summary, I felt very bad for bringing my son into this hole :/ I felt obligated to apologize to him. We left there having barely eaten, but we gained a heartache! Very bad experience and no, we will never go there again and we will certainly not recommend this place to anyone

We stopped into Chez Claudette to try their highly recommended poutine. With no shortage of options on the menu, we did our best to navigate it with our limited French since there wasn t an English menu available. We ended up ordering the smoked chicken poutine. While I would ve loved to get more adventurous, my partner prefers to stick to the basics. The food was okay. The gravy was flavorful, and the cheese curds had the satisfying squeak you hope for, but the chicken was just average, and the fries were softer and soggier than we would have liked but the prices were reasonable and fair. The atmosphere was reminiscent of a casual pizza or Italian takeout spot, nothing remarkable, but clean enough. Service was average as well

I asked the waitress if the burger was homemade, but she pretended not to understand my question, saying she had never heard such a request. Finally, she replied that yes, it was homemade. However, I was with five other people, and we had our doubts, because the burger clearly tasted like industrialized meat, far from fresh. So, not a good experience for me.

Claudettes? . Is the place worth the detour? Not particularly but if you are in the area and you are hungry for a poutine why not! Unpretentious and friendly service, honest poutines that are quite generous, old-fashioned decor that is part of the experience. Be careful, the veggie sauce is less tasty and more liquid than the traditional sauce, for vegetarians, the option remains interesting. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian poutine sauce

We cannot call this place a tourist trap because the promise is kept: poutine for all tastes! Generous plates, largely acceptable prices, good service. However, poutines remain more fast food than well cooked (and frozen fries).

October 22, 2024

Of course, the poutines are cheap... However, we didnt ask for extra. Indeed, cooks do not wear hairnets. Everything is sticky, from the table to the menus. Smell of sewer in the room We enjoyed our previous visit but we are disappointed this evening and we will not return.

A Montreal institution. Nothing less. I hadnt been there for a few years... and what a nice way to reconnect with the famous restaurant on Laurier! I arrive when the doors open, on a Monday, 4:00 p.m. sharp, am greeted warmly, take a seat at a table, receive a glass of water, order and receive my dish barely 6 minutes later. That s service! The portion is frankly generous and I am surprised by the quantity and size of the pieces of cheese curds (very good quality, by the way). But with a poutine, the sauce is what makes all the difference and Claudettes deserves a grade of A. I hadnt eaten all day and I had difficulty finishing my plate because the portion was so large ! The service is impeccable and the people who work at this address are very kind, courteous and friendly... and I would even add funny in some cases! Positive experience. I wont wait years to come back here.

Try the ( Quebecois) . Being from Niagara in Ontario, we were looking for more of an authentic poutine that locals would eat. Parking was difficult to find, but the neighborhood is charming and safe. Worth the walk The food Best poutine I have ever had. It wasn t a plate of gravy/cheese/fries. You can get that there, but they offer 2 pages of poutine options. Featuring local favourites. The ( Quebecois) is chicken, bacon, mushrooms , fries , cheese curds, with peas sprinkled on top. Not overly salted, just right, hearty, somewhat healthy and delicious. 5 stars all the way .

Entered the restaurant, no one welcomes you, I sit at a table, no one takes care of me, I look at the menu on the wall while waiting, so after 5 minutes, still no waitress in sight, I get up to ask me how the service works, and what seems to me to be the owner suddenly asks me have you been served, I tell him no, so he calls the waitress to give me the menu. I order a smoked meat poutine, the sauce and fries are quite ordinary, pretty much just the cheese which is decent, its certain that I wont set foot here again, and Im not picky, but there It was truly disgusting food.

Saw this place on You Got To Eat Here. The poutine was worth the travel to get there. Its a diner experience. We took the metro and got off at the Laurier stop. Honestly one of the better meals we had in Montreal. They need to get beer back on the menu and ice for their water, especially on a hot summer day. If they had those two items would have given them a 5. Our waitress was friendly and the food came out quick.

We were in Montreal for our anniversary and wanted to try a poutine spot, came here after seeing the good reviews. Waitress told us to pick a spot and we sat outside. After 15 mins she came to take our order. We waited over half an hour and we seen people who came after us already received their food and were done eating. My husband went to ask her when our food would come and she replied with what food? What food? Getting angry and yelling in the middle of the restaurant embarrassing him in front of everyone there. He said the food that we ordered. He then had to order the food again because she forgot what we ordered. Our food finally came after being there for an hour. Mind you, it was not busy while we were there and he got a regular poutine I got a poutine with cabbage on it

I think this place must have been an institution but we had burgers made from frozen preformed patties, fries which came from a frozen bag of fries that went straight into the fryer, and finally a poutine from a top 10 poutine spot which had bland flavourless gravy with cheese that melted and wasn t squeaky. I was really disappointed after all of the recommendations. The service was great. The front of house were veterans and despite a new POS system that wasn t working great, pushed the crowds through to serve.

Is this the best poutine Ive eaten in Montreal? Maybe so far. I am not yet an expert in the field given the list of poutineries that I still have to make, but I have experience. Great poutine cabin for $20 incl. tax and service that deserves 5 stars, thats happiness. The fries are good and crispy, rare enough to say, we appreciate it. A tasty and thick sauce, thicker than usual but which coats well. The only downside is perhaps the cheese which doesnt squeak enough if you quibble a little. 8.5/10 I recommend the establishment and the poutine cabin, the maple beans transported me to the middle of the forest in a sugar cabin, no in fact I order you to go there, stop go to the fraud that is Banquise. In my quest for the best poutine, dont hesitate to subscribe.

Best poutine in MTL, with the best variety and prices. The portions are generous (not just the fries, every ingredient is). The gravy is great because its homemade.

Chez Claudette has two paintings of the last supper, one of the paintings has Marilyn Monroe as Christ. This place is dope.

At Claudette you enter a Plateau institution. Its fatty, its salty, and its generous. The staff is warm and even comforting and you have the choice of 43 different poutines without forgetting the snack menu. The lunch menu is classic and highly efficient (service until 3 p.m. from Friday to Sunday).

Second opinion: no, I confirm, the classic is ok, but nothing more and there are better in the neighborhood. First opinion: Its been a long time since anyone said that the poutine at Claudettes is one of the best. I found the Céline poutine to be quite original but perhaps not my favorite with its pepper sauce and a range of heterogeneous ingredients which does not necessarily lead to an exceptional arrangement and sometimes even small tastes that leave me skeptical. Ill have to come back to try some more because the fries are excellent.

Very tasty Putin! We tried all sorts. Highly recommend! Friendly staff. Sometimes its a little hectic and cramped. The walls/furniture/toilet are very basic. Sometimes the floor is sticky A small portion (medium, small and sometimes tiny are available) is enough to fill a grown man. The coffee is very simple. Kid-friendliness: There are dishes for children.

The restaurant is really overrated. I was served by a new employee who is the most unpleasant person I have met in Canada (which is rare). It s a shame, because the manager, Marie, was able to restore the balance. Despite everything, I cant give more stars. The poutines are okay for the price. They are far from being the best, contrary to what I have read on certain sites. The room and the decoration are correct, nothing more.

Was really excited to try Chez Claudette. Heard great things. Unfortunately, the poutine didn t hit right for me. The texture of the gravy was very unusual. Super viscous consistency that kind of ruined it for me. Was my first poutine in Montreal so maybe that s how they like it out there? Either way, not my favorite. On the plus side, the staff was very nice.

The restaurant is pretty small and the waiting area is quite narrow. We ordered smoked meat, Celine and vege ones. I love the vege ones, the mushroom, the peppers are all well cooked.

Melted cheese on my poutine which indicates that the cheese was not fresh. It was like mozarella on a pizza. Thats really not the type of poutine youd want. Fries still a bit hard inside. Sauce was good but the cheese situation is unacceptable.

I gave my poutine to a homeless person, a single bite was enough to make up my mind and asphyxiate my palate with a very unpleasant peppery taste. A sauce is at least liquid, here we are talking about a viscous texture that is not at all appetizing or pleasant in the mouth... Not a sauce, in any case the staff is friendly but thats all

Very good meal at Claudettes! We went there on the recommendation of a friend. A wonderful welcome from the waitress who was very warm and smiling! An unusual choice of poutine, which made the choice very difficult. Fortunately we took the small one because it was already very generous, we had a great time! However, a big downside at the end of the meal when I went to the toilets! I have rarely seen such dirty toilets and I think I would not have had my meal here if I had seen this before eating... A big effort to make on hygiene because it is very irritable! Claudette you have to invest in bleach!

Ive been coming here since the days of yore. Its still the best Italian pouts in town, also love the celine p, and cochon trio. Lovely personnel too. It can get quite chaotic as its very popular place, so I mostly take out, but also nice to sit there during the off-times.

You lied to me about the origin of your meat by looking me in the eye and telling me that it was halal when I have a colleague who came to see you today to ask and one of the team members told him that no The worst is when I asked you you looked at me (the owner and his son) in the eyes telling me it was halal and calling me my brother You took me for a kid, just know that I dont intend to hide behind this comment and that Im going to come by so that we can explain Do not see this in any way as a threat, I am only asking for a conversation with the owner and/or his son You are a great place, your food and the atmosphere are incredible but lying about religions just to make money I find it dishonest
