    If you want a real, locals vibe poutine experience stop here. We had Poutineville (I know) last…read morenight because it was close to our hotel in Quebec City and this was night and day different in all the best possible ways! First they put a layer of curds on the bottom of the bowl (no where else did this from chain places to supposed old school restaurants) then the fresh hot fries then more curds (A LOT) on that then the gravy. The cheese curds squeaked when you ate them. It's set up like a Subway sandwich place, cafeteria tray style so nothing special inside but who cares with poutine this good? They people inside mostly spoke French but also could switch to English and were friendly. They had lots of tables and booths inside and at least 8 tables with umbrellas outside. This is just off the main route heading back to US border for us going home to CT. Will absolutely be our last Canadian stop now before crossing the border. They also have a cheese and gourmet shop attached and they were selling fresh corn in a kiosk in the parking lot (which you can't take back across unfortunately because it looked great). And everyone purchased these cream filled smallish donuts so we probably missed a trick but we were so over full of sweets and pastries from our Montréal/Quebec vacation we just couldn't get any. Highly recommend.

    So curd cheese is huge in Quebec and everyone has their fav but only very few know about this…read morelocation. Of course having a true québécois best friend helps as her family lives in Kingsley so they know the best cheese shops so this weekend I got to try the SQUEAKIEST curd cheese of life. Now I know you're all going to say oh I've had fresh and great curds before. BUZZER SOUND .. you're wrong ! The best curd / freshest / squeakiest can only come from this location. If it's not made right there on the spot it's a disgrace wise words from my best friend. You can get Kingsley or guillaume back home but once it gets transported from fresh to cold and hot and cold and hot it just turns out MEH and loses its beautiful taste. So do yourselves a favour and make the drive to this location and grab a large bag for $8 dollars to go and then take a seat and order a poutine.

    We were really happy when we stumbled upon this place! We were originally going to stop at another…read morespot ( patate frit) but it had closed on October 16, so we Yelped around and found this gem. We decided to come after a long drive since it was Halloween. When we walked in, the staff were dressed up, which was super cute. They even offered us candy I took a KitKat and my boyfriend grabbed a Coffee Crisp, lol. There was an older couple nearby having fish and chips, and it smelled amazing. We decided to go classic: a small poutine, hot dog, and hamburger with a drink. Our total came to around $35-$38, which might sound a bit high but honestly, I'm used to those prices and it was totally worth it. I loved how fresh their cheese was SQUEAKYYYY I'm pretty sure it comes straight from a local farm. The fries were perfectly crispy, the coleslaw was finely shredded, and the hot dog had that soft, fluffy bun that's just right. The hamburger had that smashed-style feel thin, juicy, with just mustard, onions, and cabbage instead of a pile of toppings.

We'd 100% come back whenever we're in the area and definitely recommend checking it out. I'm so glad I got to discover this spot on the last day of October perfect way to wrap up my monthly Yelp reviews

    After landing in Montréal, I was so hungry and craving a nice plate of poutine -- an iconic…read moreCanadian specialty. So I popped on Yelp to look for a spot near by with great reviews. La Banquise wasn't far from where we were staying and I discovered that it was a favorite of locals! I mean, at 11pm the place was packed to the brim! A very promising sign. Once we stepped inside this cozy establishment, it almost felt like a diner, with fun painted tables. Our table had Elsa & Anna on it! Their menu is outstanding, offering plenty of different loaded poutines. Poutine is typically fries, gravy, and cheese curds. So I decided on La Scooby, which had meats, a Caesar salad dressing, and fried pickles on top! The flavors all worked together so well! This was my first poutine experience and by far my favorite. Merci, La Banquise!!

    A local took me here and showed me the way to eat poutine in Montreal: you are supposed to (in the…read moresummer at least) get it to go and eat it in the park. So we lined up and I got the big portion. He warned me it was huge. And sure enough - it is a gigantic portion! It's more like for 2-3 people. I got smoked meat, sausage, mushrooms (1 substitution allowed). It is incredible. The cheese is so soft and melty and the sauce works really well. The smoked meat has amazing taste and is so good as are the sausages. Next time I would get the small portion though. It's more than good enough. :)
