The food was amazing! Felt like I was eating at my cousin’s place, or food made by some of my tias! I definitely recommend this place for authentic Dominican flavours! The service was amazing, with smiles, and the music was so good too! You NEED to go eat there! I went on a Sunday afternoon, must’ve been 3 pm!

We ordered it from Uber. Their products were good in general, but the salad was really small. It was more like a small decoration than a real side.

The fact this place isn't rare higher is criminal. Just ate there, some of the best food I've ever had. Fried pork belly easily one of the top 3 things I've ever put in my mouth. Fried chicken amazing. Great fries. There was a Latin DJ playing while we ate. Easily one of the best culinary experiences of my life

While the food was great and the staff was nice, the music was way too loud. We had trouble understanding each other. We also had to wait quite a while for our food, so make sure you're not in a hurry, but it was quite tasty.

Local Domincan spot. Food is very flavorful. Don't judge it until you try it. We had the Chicharrón / Fried Pork Belly and the Ribeye steak.

The food? Superbly prepared. I thought the portion sizes were okay, but while eating, I realised I was going to be well-fed. Generous portions indeed Ordered the plantain fries and fried chicken…absolutely crunchy. Friend had baked chicken and fries. Nicely salted fries and delicious marinated chicken.

The food was decent, large portions. The service was really sub-par. Not very welcoming. Nobody offered us even water for the whole stay. It wasn't crowded but the food came more than 30 minutes after we ordered, and mine came 25 minutes after my partner's. The music was agreeable at first, but then became so loud that we couldnt even hear each other. It was a bad overall experience. They missed too many small details.

The owner is super rude So I get there at 1pm but he assures me they open at noon. I invited him to adjust his web site We were off to a bad start. I did not order anything as he had an issue about my review adding tip on top of taxes. ILLEGAL. So he got mad at me yelling and all. The table was dirty. Verify your check as they charge tip on top of the 2 taxes, witch is illegaI an I have to take 1 star off. I will NEVER go back there again. A group of police was just coming over, and yes it is illegal and he argued with them. Chicken was good but there much better places to get good food without the angry attitude. AVOID unless you want to be srewed. NOT PET friendly.

I visited La Maison du Poulet Melo last Saturday and had an excellent experience. The grilled chicken, steak and the pork were juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh and homemade. But honestly, the plantains and the yuca fries were to die for, they’re absolutely delicious!! The restaurant was clean, welcoming, and the owners Jhonny & his wife Renny were very friendly and attentive service throughout my visit. I especially appreciated the quality of the ingredients and the authentic flavors in every dish. They have live music, and a Dominican DJ, who kept inviting everyone to dance. It was very special to experience Dominican culture in Montreal. They were very friendly and welcoming to everyone. If you’re looking for delicious Dominican-style food, great customer service with lively Latino music, if you like to dance bachata & salsa, La Maison du Poulet Melo is the hot spot in Montreal. Whether you’re dining in or ordering takeout, you can expect quality food and a satisfying meal. I’ll definitely be coming back to this family owned business and highly recommend it to anyone in the area looking to try something different.

The service was terrible. Not even a welcome. The staff just hanging out at the back. One seemed more interested in his phone than coming back to get my order. The fries are mediocre commercial and the batter is awful. Wasn't crazy about the chicken either.

This was by far the best value and deliciousness we had had in Montreal so far. Very generous portions and delicious variety of food including meats, rice, fries and my favourite…the plantain. Compliments to the servers and chef! Wish we discovered this sooner while visiting Montreal village!

The best! If you’re looking for mouth watering homemade chicken with that spicy flavour… this place makes my tastebuds dance. One of a kind, incredible, an absolute MUST!
