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.

Well, it's like this, see? You will find Ste Elizabeth de…read moreWarwick cozily tucked in between miles of rural Quebec routes. One church, one hardware store and one cheese shop share the same narrow village road. You could write a novel about the goings on there, but it would only be a one page story. The cheese store is the village's new church. The heart of the village where locals and passers through congregate as they would have in the times of rural Catholicism to pay hommage to a deity greater than themselves. The sainted Cheeses. The holey Cheeses. The baby Cheeses. All are otherworldly yet they are not for everyone. The aged cheddar - their most recent medal winner, the reknowned blue, and the Tome make up - for me - The Holy Trinity of Cheeses. The "Abbey" is about an hour's drive from Montreal, and makes for an easy and fulfilling pilgrimage for those who profess to love Cheeses.

I've been wanting to try out Victoria for a while now, but never had the chance to do so…read more Recently, while travelling through Victoriaville we thought it would be just right to do so and took the time to stop by. I wasn't sure what to expect but was really surprised at the setup. I was expecting a traditional restaurant but it turned out to be more like a fast-food ordering but with various places to sit and eat (booths, a more private area, and a typical eatery). I didn't know they also had an ice cream section but then again I was there for food :) Walking in I was taken by their ad for a "Montreal Burger" and ordered that. Turned out to be somewhat of a Smoked Meat Burger but wow the flavour was amazing! There are a number of other items on their menu that strike my fancy so I'll definitely have to head back and try them out some time :)
