I live outside Canada since a while now and I rarely have the opportunity to eat a delicious "Poutine". While visiting my parents during the Christmas break, I took the opportunity to please my belly. So that's why we ended up at Valentine. By the way "Poutine" has nothing to do with the Russian President! For those who have no clue of what I'm talking about, a Poutine is made of fries topped with salty pieces of cheese and it's covered with a gravy sauce. It's obviously fast food or let's say comfort food. That's the thing you eat after a drinking evening and it's great!
This Valentine take away counter do make a good Poutine. They do have table if you want to eat there, it's not a problem. The service was fast and friendly. The fries and the cheese were fresh as well. For those who wouldn't have the balls to try the Poutine, they also offer smoked meat sandwishes, hot dogs, potato chips and fries, If you feel adventurous, you can try one of the non.traditional Poutine. Poutine with chicken pieces, Poutine covered with a kind of spaghetti sauce or a Poutine with BBQ sauce instead of the original gravy sauce. This Valentine is located in a rest area along the highway 10 near exit 115 (Magog). It's easy to access, there is loads of parking even for trucks or campers. In the same building there is a convenience store, a Touristic info point and other restaurants. There is even a gas station next to it. So in short it's a place to stop and rest if you are on the road. read more
