Planète Poutine et Cie

Excellent poutine! Very friendly staff, reasonable prices and large portions :) it’s a definite go to place after a night out, sure way to curb the hangover and just generally amazing treat for your stomach! Will definitely be back!

The first poutine I had in Montréal — and it made me very happy. We had the peppercorn poutine (nothing too adventurous), and the fries were tasty, the peppercorns in the gravy added a nice kick, and the curds had just the right texture. The fries could’ve been a little crispier, but that was my only complaint. Also, it was cheap, which made it a great snack that I would get again and again (if I lived in Montréal).

Delightful place with innovative poutine!
Stopped by here as part of my Montréal poutine crawl for an early dinner. The friendly lady at the counter reviewed some of the options and the sound of the General Tao’s poutine fascinated me, so I ordered it. There’s only one size of that (and it was so big I couldn’t finish).
It was really weird to have the spice and heat of the orient along side the starch, cheese and gravy of the Northeast, but somehow it worked. The chicken was actually delicious! The fries here seemed thinner than at other places, but maybe that was just me.
I’m glad I tried this type, but if I came back, I think I’d go with their short-​rib poutine. This is definitely worth a visit. And it’s close to Parc du Mont-​Royal so you can go there after eating and climb to the top to work some of it off.

Delicious! I was pleasantly surprised to discover this poutinerie right in my neighborhood. From the outside it appears quite boring and I would never have thought to go there but a friend had recommended it to me. The poutine was pretty delicious and they had lots of options for adding veg and meat if that gets your wheeling turning. I enjoy my poutine in the classic fashion and I thought their cheese was very good and that the portion size excellent. They have a student discount and are open till 4am on weekends. Also, they have loads of flavoured mayonnaise to choose from which I used to cover every fry not already drenched in gravy. Mmmm!

Just had livraison from Planète Poutine. I had the poutine saucisse Toulouse. The taste of the sausages mixed well with the poutine. There was enough cheese curds and sauce. The temperature was just right. The sausages were clearly not from Toulouse, but tasted standard.

A delicious alternative to the nearby La Banquise. Not the same, no, but a good choice when you’re in the area and want to give in to a poutine craving.
I tried the Italian poutine and brought me back to high school, when Italian poutine was considered a special event. Of course that may be nostalgia, I’m the Italian poutine I had now was light years better than the ones my high school cafeteria served. Two sizes of poutine, huge and just right (imo). I also tried a roll dog, which is quite the novelty: a hot dog encased in waffle batter. Interesting, not amazing, but definitely worth a try for the novelty.
I liked the fact that the kitchen is open, and the kitchen staff says hello when you walk in.

So just as I was trying to eat more healthly, Montréal comes up with a ridiculously delicious idea… poutine week… all week I dreamt of poutine until I finally caved and ordered take-​out from Planete Poutine et Cie, for the first time (but probably not the last).
I’m usually a traditionalist when it comes to poutine… I don’t really like a whole lot of stuff on it… maybe every once in a while I’ll be adventurous and order it with sauce au poivre, but that’s about it. But, seeing as it was poutine week, I convinced myself it was a good idea to get one of those fancy poutines piled high with fixin’s. Not my smartest move, I must say, but not my worst either.
My partner ordered the featured poutine of the week, the shepherd’s pie poutine, and that totally lived up to all of its great reviews! I ordered the Mexican poutine, and while not bad, there was just too much stuff on it for me and I felt like I was missing the actual poutine part.
The delivery service was actually quite good though. The poutines arrived still hot, not like some delivery poutines I’ve gotten that have had time to congeal on their way over (ewwww). I also received a very nice phone call about an hour after the delivery from Planete Poutine just to make sure the delivery was to my liking.
All in all, not a bad poutine week experience, but next time I think I’ll stick to my ways and order a regular poutine.

Un p’tit nouveau (depuis mai-​juin) qui nous est arrivé de Trois-​Rivière a pris la place du Roi du Plateau. J’y suis allée dans le cadre du comité de la poutine et on nous a préparé une dizaine de poutines qu’on s’est partagé à la gang. Ça n’est pas de la haute gastronomie, mais pour ce qui est de la poutine (notre plat national?) ils sont parmi les meilleurs. Mes coups de coeurs sont les poutines général tao, pâté chinois et la mexicaine. La grande majorité des poutines peuvent aussi être demandées en version végétarienne parce que la sauce de base est faite à partir d’une bouillon de légumes. La seule chose que je n’ai pas goûté, mais qui me donne le goût d’y retourner sont les «pogo aux gaufres» qui ont un nom spécial dont je né me souviens pas. Et le service à la clientèle est excellent! Une super belle équipe :)

I never imagined I would be writing about poutine one day! I usually eat the stuff every few years just to help me remember why I don’t exactly love it.
So I’m very surprised to say that I’m about to change my mind just because of this single little shop located on Rachel and Clark in Montréal.
Me and my girlfriend where looking at cool places near where we are located and she stumbled on this, she started to read the menu and we really got very intrigued. Filet-​mignon poutine? Shepherd-​pie Poutine? Come on! That must be a joke!
But the reviews on Unilocal!where good!
And they were right!!!
I got reassured when we ordered the Filet-​mignon poutine and that I was asked how I wanted my meat done! I tough they would just dropping micro waved bits of steak in the mix, but no! Got cooked right there like I asked. All the ingredients where really fresh, the cheeses was squeaking under the teeth like it should. My friend got the shepherd-​pie poutine one and it was also amazing, the real thing.
The portions where really generous and the price very good considering the quality, I really recommend.
We will be back there for sure to try the others variations.

Their poutine is perfection! Super nice owners who really seem to care about what they’re doing.

Great poutine ordered general tao and chop chop. We called before the restaurant opened and they delivered in less than 30 minutes. Great place will recommend it. Very good service

Pretty good poutine, lots of different types — from General Tao to Chicken Wings. I am a more traditional type, so I just get their regular poutine. They’re open late and the owners are super nice, definitely worth a try.

I definitely enjoyed the shepherds pie poutine and thought MAN, why have I never eaten this before, or cooked it every brutal Montréal winter of my life? I also loved the smoked meat poutine and discovered that mustard is a more friendly flavour than I had previously recognized. The young couple from Trois Rivere behind this new poutinerie on the hallowed ground of the old Roi Du Plateau are holding their own, and they seem super sweet and hard-​working and I wish them the best.
The interior is a little cold and clinical feeling, but is very clean. The mayo options for the onion rings got me excited but then I didn’t love them, or at least not with the heavy (and possibly artificial) citrus flavouring on the rings. The chop poutine is apparently popular but I am squeemish about chicken in fast food contexts and the texture on this one didn’t do it for me — felt either processed or slightly undercooked for my liking.
The joint is new and super well intentioned and there are some excellent nosh options on the menu, especially for late nights. Marie-Pier’s idea that they get a BYO license is genius, this would have me coming back with various beers all the time to cuddle up with a big red bowl of the shepherds pie. Also, I heard they are getting couches — smooth moves. I think some comf, some softer light, and a focus on high quality ingredients (even if it means slightly narrowing the vast menu) will help this Trois Rivere import thrive here in Montréal. Le Roi est mort. Vive le Roi.

Un des meilleurs endroit de poutine que j’ai mangé. J’ai essayé la Chop Chop, Ribs et Mexicaine. Les trois étaient imbattable. Le service était excellent, les prix très raisonnables. Cheers!

For out of this world twists on Quebec’s worldwide famous dish go to Planète Poutine. Poutines with names like General Tao chicken, pâte chinois and duck confit are just a few of the stellar offerings at this poutinerie.
Started in Trois-​Rivières, the planetary poutine shop has set up a 2^nd poutinerie in Montréal. Housed in the former walls of Le Roi du Plateau we did get the feeling of sacrilege when stepping into this familiar territory. Thank goodness we found salvation in some great tasting poutines.
Given the famous heritage of the location the new business might consider creating a poutine in honor of the former King (Roi du Plateau).
The Planète Poutine secret in offering so many bold flavor combos seems to lie with the tastiness of the ingredients used in making each poutine. The meat sauce for the Italian poutine, for example, was some mighty fine sauce in its own right. We were extremely pleased with the amount of cheese (and big size of some of the curds) used in our poutines. With the price of dairy products on the rise we have noticed a dwindling with the amount of cheese used in poutines. We assume most places want to avoid serving pricey poutines but there is nothing worse than a measly portion of cheese sprinkled on top of some fries. At Planète Poutine we found very good cheese to fry ratio including some mega curds that had the mythical squeak when chewed.
Don’t be frightened by some of the outlandish sounding combos because the flavors really work well together. You sometimes wonder when establishments offer crazy concoctions if the ingredients are just thrown together for the sake of being zany. The Planète Poutine combos seem to have had some real thought put into the overall taste.
The caramelized onions in the pâte chinois poutine (a show stopper) added a nice sweet taste to the dish. The vegetarian poutine with green olives, tomatoes and iceberg lettuce surprised us with how good it tasted with our gravy cheese and fries.
If there is one thing Montrealers like to argue about it’s whose poutine reigns supreme. Don’t be surprised if the time you talk poutine you hear the name Planète Poutine because this is a world-​class poutinerie.

Two different sizes of poutine. The sauce had a flavour that reminded me of ketchup. Even tried their roll dog, which is basically a pogo in a waffle, just very odd. Some interesting sauces and some interesting mixes. Not enough smoked meat on their smoked meat poutine.
