Yesterday I went to La Banquise a 24/h Poutine joint in Montreal for the first time believe it or not. I eat Poutine all the time but never at this famous spot. A lot of people surprisingly enough still don’t know what Poutine is so I will explain: Poutine (Quebec French pronunciation “putsin” is a dish consisting of French fries topped with fresh cheese curd, covered with brown gravy and sometimes additional ingredients. Poutine is a diner staple which originated in Quebec and can now be found across Canada. It is usual sold by fast food chains.
La Banquise figured out how to turn this fast food staple into a speciality with all types of additional toppings and ingredients such as bacon, chicken, onions, ground beef and pretty much anything else you can think of.
It was amazing! If you live in Montreal and have not tried it yet, make sure you do and if you’re visiting us make it a special stop.
