Service très sympa, bouffe très très ordinaire et poutine carrément fade. J'y retourne pour les gens.
Le bacon etait-ce du bacon, la saucisse un gout bizarrre, le jambon une texture de rubber. Mon assiete un grosse assiete du gros mangeur pour 9$. Tres grosse deception que cet endroit. Vas mangez la les dejeuners sont incroyable. Yeah right, il sont pas ben ben bon.
When the line up at Banquise is too long, this is honestly the next best thing in my opinion. They are open late, they have good and efficient service and they offer a bunch of poutine toping options. The poutine is solid in my books. I've recently gone from being a traditionalist, to really liking the one with peas! Who would have known!?
Poutine was alright but don't try the red wine. It tasted like vinegar. It seems to be a local favourite and it was featured on "you gotta eat here." I have to disagree with John Catucci on this one.
Great price great food. Staff was friendly. Place is a little small and dingy, but solid food. Fresh curds and good gravy. Expansive list of various poutines. Very good.
Hands down the best poutine in Montreal.
For those who don't know exactly what poutine is: it's everything wrong in the world put together to make something so right!
I love going to Claudette, I used to live right next to it and went almost every day; thank God for my fast metabolism! I even painted the yellow facade and green terrasse.
It's half trendy joint, half authentic family...

This is probably more of the authentic Quebec diner experience. I've only ever gone in after a few beers, which certainly enhances the flavor (hit up Dieu du Ciel first). The menu is unpretentious and the poutine is exactly what it should be.
Got the large poutine. It was delicious! Great cheese, lots of sauce and tasty fries!
I recommend it!!
Perfect for a late night meal! The staff is friendly and the price is right! I've been known to frequent the place on late nights, i prefer it over the Banquise even if i'm across the street from it.. Its probably due to the huge line up the food is ok but the staff is half and half (i assume they are annoyed of the young drunks) Anyways all to say its my new spot for a late night meal they... plus
Visiting Montreal and staying around the Plateau-Mont Royal area means having a wide selection of cafes, restaurants and pub bars in our midst. Little did we know that one of the best is right across from where we stayed-Chez Claudette right off Rue St Denis on Laurier Est.
They're open late ! (Best for folks like us that wanted to...

You can get vegetarian pogo (corndogs) poutine here. I feel like that statement should pretty much sum up my review.
But no, I'll keep it going.
Service was friendly, two of the guys in our group are regulars here. We sat on the patio and the wind knocked a beer over. DIDN'T MATTER. WE WERE EATING CORN DOG POUTINE.
I don't like peppers or mushrooms so I picked a lot of the veggies out of my...

The price was good but The fries were awful, they had an unpleasant sweetness to them. The gravy tasted like salt water. Better poutine at frites alours.
Quite surprised to find a lot of upset reviews about Chez Claudette, my neighbourhood greasy spoon. Although I can`t comment on what dining there is like because I always grab my poutine to go, I can tell you that this is one of the hardest working restaurants in Montreal. Not only are they open 24 hours over the weekend, but they're also open on stat holidays. Makes me suspect that the owner... plus
I think they're open 24hr on the weekends, which is only the real selling point for this place. Loads of different types of poutine, but it's a bit disgusting.
The poutines are good.
The service is awful, you get dirty plastic glasses when you order water.
Well... I would maybe have been inclined to give Chez Claudette a higher rating if it hadn't been for the following....
ordered a poutine classique to go, and then because it was pouring rain decided to eat it inside by the front door. Even though the place wasn't busy, our french quebec waitress told us that "next time we order it to go, we have to eat it outside".
the sauce also kind of...

24h spot on the weekends. Everything, including breakfast, can be had with a side of poutine.
This is the classic breakfast joint at day and poutine place at bars closing time. The food is nothing amazing yet it is exactly as you would expect it. You will love this place for its simplicity.
A great place for poutine. Amazing selection of about 20 different ways of getting your poutine. Great, traditional Montreal poutine! In the process of renovations. Great stop on the poutine train!
While on vacation and dining at a gourmet restaurant in Montreal's Old Town, I asked our young waitress if there was a food that was a local French Canadian favorite. She promptly said "Poutine" and that we shouldn't leave without trying it. I live in Texas, I'd never heard of the dish before. She recommended Chez Claudette as a good... plus
Chez Claudette was recently featured on a television show called "You Gotta Eat Here" which airs regularly on the Food Network. The menu not only includes the customary Quebec greasy spoon hot dogs, hamburgers, french fries and all day breakfast but they also serve some classics such as tourtiere, shepphard's pie, meatloaf, etc. The main attraction, however, is the 20+... plus
Nothing special. Probably 4 stars if you're drunk late at night. Funny how that improves just about any restaurant. If you're a tourist looking to try a classic Quebec poutine you should look elsewhere for the magical experience.
Same as Banquise, but a bit better.
Expect a lineup from 3 to 4 am. This place is quite popular around that time.
Ok place to go at 2 or 3am but the poutine isn't so tasty. My companion also claimed that the fries aren't crispy enough. The sauce was mediocre as well. But if you're looking for late night eats in the neighbourhood, it's an option.
What to say about Claudette's -- it's open late, well that's it. Oh yeah some people love this place (young and usually drunk) and some people don't (sober). I've been there twice and the food was not bad for 3am. The poutine is big, the fries were good but the sauce was cold, cold poutine sauce??? That may just shutdown a place, the two diners on St Denis and Mont-Royal can give you a poutine... plus
Have eaten here twice now. Second trip was deliberately to eat the same thing again, to see if the first time was a fluke or not.
Had the poutine with hot dogs trio, both times.
The Good: Excellent fries, properly *fine* minced onion on the hot dogs, best poutine sauce I've ever tasted, decent portion size.
The Meh: Sauce and fries too cold to melt the cheese even a bit (both times); very...

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 right in the details. For their hotdogs, the pickles are fresh and sweet. For their poutine, the fries are crispy, their curds are fresh (not...

Best poutine in Montreal. Claudette still works there. The food can only truly be appreciated after a game of hockey on an evening of -20 degrees below zero, when the greasy grub transforms into mana from the heavens.
Comfort foods like burgers, poutine & beer served in a casual hangout open 24 hours Thurs-Sat.
