I visited Montreal for a bachelor party and my mission was two-fold: strippers and poutine. I had poutine from the dingy places on the side of the streets and from the fancy restaurants with their fancy steaks. Patati Patata stands above the rest.
Simple recipe, friendly service, bumping atmosphere and delicious poutine. What more can you ask for? Sure it may be standing room only and the line is out there door, but these aren't necessarily bad things.
PS. who knew there were such thigns as a "poutinery"
