    My best advice is get several small versions of poutine and share. I had The MLT which was fantastic and da hubs had The Centrale (classic). Fried pickles are sweet if that's not your jam. Communal tables are the seating arrangement. They speak English and were super helpful when we had questions. We never felt rushed while we decided on what to order.

    Kids popcorn chicken meal
    Benjamin C.

    Came in after a trip to the Biodome. Wow, best poutine we have ever had. Went with a small centrale and a small jaqueline. Kids shared a popcorn chicken meal. Strongly recommend the Jaqueline, but there are so many appealing looking options. Friendly service! Can't wait to visit again.

    Stopped in for a quick bit of Poutine here after a day at the bio dome around the corner. Had little expectation and was quite pleased! Fries were clearly hand cut and well done. Gravy was a little weak but still great. I got the one with popcorn chicken and was surprised that there were only a few bites. Beyond that a clean welcoming environment. Worth a second fork!

    First time trying poutine so I went with the classic, it was definitely good, but I had to push the cheese to the side. The Chicken ranch sandwich was OK, not the best. Something was missing in the flavor, but overall good to each. The Cheeseburger was delicious. Juicy, and just perfect. The staff was friendly and helpful. I asked for suggestions on which poutine order to get, since it was my first time, and they just told me to go with the classic. The place is beautiful and has a rustic vibe to it. Overall very chill experience.

    Verdun
    Di H.

    First time having poutine and was not disappointed. We ordered the Verdun and poulet au buerre. The large portions are good for 2 people. The Verdun is ground beef and bacon mixed with green beans, and the poulet au buerre is basically chicken Tikka masala. Both were great and quite filling. The fries were smothered with sauce that was pretty light but added great flavor. The place was a bit understaffed with only 2 people. Took a while to get the order in. It was also pretty hot inside.

    Poutine with smoked meat

    Great place for poutine! We were there to experience a classic Montréal dish and this place didn't disappoint ! Even had good local beer. We shared one with smoked meat, one with bacon and one with buffalo sauce.

    You can't stop by Montréal and not try the Poutine. Definitely a total different experience compare to the crispy fries you would normally get. But I loved it! My absolute favorite was the crispy pickles, can't get enough!

    Smoked meat poutine

    4th time is the charm. Other place we had some less than desirable poutine but this hit the spot. Smoked meat poutine was good but the buffalo chicken was a little strange. Burger was decent but for some reason they were out of smash burgers. Side of fries could have been a little crispier. On the whole a good send off on poutine.

    Beyond meat cheeseburger and fries
    Steven R.

    Maybe I made a mistake by not ordering a poutine, but I was pretty disappointed. Stopped in for something quick and the music was unnecessarily loud for just 2 other people inside. They don't specify if they use vegetarian gravy, so I went on the safe side and got a beyond meat cheeseburger with fries which came to $23 before tip. The burger itself was nothing special. Same kind of thing you could get at any other joint. Fries were a bit dry and underseasoned. I left feeling underwhelmed and overcharged.

    Super yummy food. My first time try, and love it. I showed my friend the picture of what item I want. Unfortunately my order came out wrong, I asked why my food is not the same as the picture? My friend did not tell me why. Either he order wrong even after he saw the picture or the restaurant made a wrong dishes. I don't eat pork, my friend tried to force me eat pork. I highly suspect he ordered wrong even he saw pictures. His intelligence level may be low. Glad the restaurant guy came out said he can make me a correct one, even my friend refuse to correct for me. As a result, I don't have to be forced eat pork. Love the handsome, kind, nice restaurant guy. :)

    Large Italian and Smoked Meat orders.
    Bill Z.

    While having lunch here, we actually got into an argument, on "other social media," with other American and Canadian friends about whether their Italian Poutine is actually poutine (can you imagine Americans being purists about poutine?). That conversation was silenced with a reply of "And how is YOUR authentic Quebecois poutine lunch today?" Ca y est, this is the real thing (if you want to be the purist in the bunch, order the classic smoked meat version), with more than a dozen varieties from which to choose, and way too many good aromas as you walk in. During the busier part of lunch, it gets crowded, and it can take a few minutes for your order to be made, but that proves they're making the fries fresh. Beverage options are 3 types of beers and several options for soda (and I learned the French for Root Beer). Seating options are a couple of larger tables in the center, and table space along the walls, all with "log" type seats. It's not the most comfortable option, but that's not the part of your body you're trying to satisfy when you visit here. Poutine Centrale is a medium walk away from Olympic Parc and a nice option for dining if you're in that area.

    Not the everyday poutine you get most places. Best Ive had. Accommodating to travelers with an English menu. Very clean indoors.

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

The mushroom and pepper poutine was underwhelming. Smoked meat poutine only way to go ! They don't skimp on the meat. Fries, curds, and gravy delicious. Prices fair.

I did a create-your-own with pulled pork, carmelized onions, cheese curds, and poutine sauce. The toppings were pretty quality and I liked the pulled pork.

No Michigan sauce (yes, they call it Michigan sauce), no smoked meat, or any of the other add-ons that have become trendy over the years. Poutineville offers both. In addition to a menu of poutine choices: mac and cheese, General Tao, Philly steak, Hat Trick, and Stroganoff, you can also build your own, where you select different fries (regular, julienne, sweet potato), cheeses (curds, mozzarella, cheddar, and Swiss), gravies (regular, red wine, butter, maple, cream, etc), and toppings (egg, hot dog, corn dog, gyro, smoked meat, etc). I had considered the Hat Trick, which included bacon, hot dogs, and ground beef, but in the end, I stuck with the classic, but added extra cheese curds. I loved the crunchy and tender fries. However, I would have preferred a bolder sauce and melted cheese curds. IMO, the best poutines have cheese layered so there is a cheese pull, like in a good French onion soup, a mozzarella stick, or pizza. My sister's Stroganoff poutine was interesting and included thinly sliced steak, mushrooms, onions, two types of cheese, and a cream sauce. We both ordered the smaller size, but I was just not able to finish - so be sure to bring your appetite. We both liked our server, who ably tended to all the tables. On the day of our visit, there were large groups of friends and family, all happily sampling the variety of poutines.
