Luke Martin calls Ma Poule Mouillée’s pastel de nata a must-try, capturing the restaurant’s warm, unpretentious charm that makes every bite feel like a cozy discovery.
“This is a Portuguese custard tart from Ma Poule Mouillée. It's really light but quite sweet, with a rich custard inside. The flaky crust is paper thin. I love how light it is. I wish I had some cinnamon, but it's still delicious.”

They also offer authentic Portuguese custard tarts (Pastel de nata) with a light, sweet profile and flaky crust.

Poutine with Portuguese grilled chicken
This is the famous poutine topped with Portuguese grilled chicken. The chicken is shredded and placed on top of fries, then covered with gravy, cheese curds, and spicy sauce. It's incredibly thick and satisfying — I can barely get to the fries through all the toppings. The chicken is super smoky from the charcoal grill, and the cheese pull is on another level. It's sinfully delicious, greasy, and full of flavor. I highly recommend this over the traditional poutine.
