    Small Poutine
    James Y.

    I was in the Longueuil area for work and got recommended to try Alfa from a coworker. Really good poutine with super squeaky curds and a good not-too-salty gravy that all worked well together. The small was a big portion that was more than enough for a single person (almost got the large and definitely would have regretted eating all of that later). The only issue I had really was there weren't enough fries in ratio to gravy/curds which is very minor. The place definitely looks like a landmark and a go-to spot for a lot of people as it was busy even at 3 pm. Definitely a worthwhile visit if you're in the area.

    Don't have a good poutine place around home so I came here since I heard it was the place to go for poutine. The small is huge and the cheese curd is plentiful but I found the sauce too salty. I ordered a hotdog too not realizing the size of the poutine. The hotdog was good though the guy threw the relish on it like he had a fight with it and lost.

    Everyone, drop whatever you're doing. Drive, bus, bike, walk, run, hop, jump, skip, I don't care, this is THE place to have your standard Quebec quality poutine (and I emphasize STANDARD, as in without all the additional stuff you usually add at La Banquise). I visited here a few days ago after a tip from my friend, who is 99% never wrong when it comes to good food, especially in Montreal. Sure enough, this time was part of the 99%. I ordered a standard small poutine with a drink, and the poutine, despite the small size, is gigantic. I finished maybe about 60-70% of it, and even my friend who has a huge appetite, only barely finished the whole thing. I can't imagine anyone finishing a large unless they're sharing. As for the poutine, it's everything that it should be. LOTS of cheese curds (as in you can't see the fries), gravy that's actually tasty, and fries that are picked perfectly and fried fresh. The best part about all this is that the waiting time for a poutine to finish is only about 2 minutes, yet you can really feel like all the ingredients are fresh. I honestly don't know how they do it. Now, despite all the gloating, you wonder why I didn't give it 5 stars? The pricing mechanism. The poutine is priced fairly at around $6, with hot dogs being a cheap 79 cents, however they earn back your money by inflating the cost of drinks. A can of pop cost $2.19 not including tax, which is more than the $1-1.50 price I'm used to. If anything don't bother purchasing drinks until after you finish your poutine, where there's a McDonald's a stones throw away. With that aside, what are you waiting for? Go! I know I will in my next visit to Montreal!

    EPIC lunch!!! I forgot how delicious this place is. We drove from MSH just to get our cravings out of the way. Still as busy as I remember (I used to live in Longueuil). The poutine was LIT! It was loaded with poutine gravy and sooooooo much squik squik cheese. The Michigan hotdog was LIT! Even the steamed 0.99$ hotdog was very good! We had the large smoked meat poutine AKA the Greek poutine, a Michigan hotdog with onions and an all-dressed steamy for about 24,..$. It was huge! I mean, WOW! I will never forget how good this place is. Never again lol. For me, this is the best poutine in Quebec!

    The food is excellent and the prices one of the best of the south river of Montreal, I suggest it to visit this place.

    I was in Montreal for a day to walk 100,000 steps, and 1 of the 4 food requirements I had for…read moremyself was poutine. I'd never had the French Canadian heart-attack-on-a-plate, and was a little nervous as it just looks like it has A LOT going on. I sludged into La Banquise dead sober at 4:11am, as this is a legendary spot that is open 24 hours. I sat down in a bustling no frills atmosphere and remembered my deep appreciation for a 24-hour diner. You see people for who they really are this early in the morning. A couple in front of me was in a heated argument about what "being exclusive" really meant, while two separate groups of 4 to my right were feeling no pain and enjoying a poutine night cap. There I was, sipping on my black coffee mentally prepping myself for the 45 mile (72 km) day I had in front of me. The dichotomy of life. I asked the server what the most popular item was, and he said La Scooby. This monstrosity consisted of fresh cut fries, cheese, gravy, ground beef, bacon, onions, fried pickles, and caesar dressing garlic sauce. I got the small ($12.40 usd), but this thing was a TANK. It was bigger than my head and I have a HUGE head. The large must be a family style portion or somethin. Upon first bite, it was damn good. I completely see the poutine appeal. Is it an ideal meal dead sober at 4:11am? No, absolutely not, but this is an S-tier hangover food. Also, if there is ever a day when I need some extra calories, it's on a 100k step day. All the staff was so welcoming, and surprisingly chipper this early in the morning. SHOUTOUT TO LA BANQUISE! THANK YOU FOR FUELING THE JOURNEY! IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo
