Rotisserie chicken and poutine as a last Montréal meal
At St-Hubert in YUL, many Québec regulars grab one more order of rotisserie chicken or poutine before clearing out of Montréal. This outpost of the local chain sits airside and runs at airport pricing, so expect about CA$18–25 per person for a basic chicken plate or poutine and drink. It’s a familiar logo and menu if you know St-Hub, just tuned to “you’re captive in a terminal” levels.
Figure on standard chain dishes: quarter or half-chicken plates with sauce, fries, and coleslaw, plus poutine with the usual brown gravy and cheese curds. Reviewers call out poutine and rotisserie chicken as the only things really worth it here, treating them as a send-off before long flights. Skip anything that leans “generic pub,” like basic burgers or overdone salads; they cost more than in town and don’t hit the same nostalgia note.
Service runs slower than you’d expect for an airport spot, especially when two or three gates nearby are boarding within the same 30–40 minute window. There are repeated complaints about portion size compared with city St-Hubert locations, with plates looking closer to a light meal than a full sit-down dinner. Build in an extra 20 minutes on top of what you’d allow for a quick-serve meal if your departure board shows multiple flights at your gate cluster.
Regulars who grew up on St-Hubert will still plan a stop here before long-haul flights, fully aware the prices beat downtown Saint‑Denis or Sherbrooke street locations by a good margin. They come for the sauce, the skin on the rotisserie, and one more airport poutine, not for value. Watch out for automatic tipping prompts on the payment terminal that start high compared with other CA$-priced fast casual spots in YUL.
Practical tip: if your connection is under 60 minutes gate-to-gate, order poutine to go and eat at the gate instead of waiting on a chicken plate ticket.
