| - I was told that La Banquise is a must for any Montreal trip- so off we went, via the Montreal subway (which ran a lot faster than the NYC subway... and the doors opened before the train made a complete stop?!)
After this thrilling ride and a short trek from the Mont Royal station, we found ourselves at this Poutine Haven. I liked the very casual atmosphere- the store quickly filled up with locals/regulars (there was a line when we left!) To me, locals lining up is a good sign.
My boyfriend ordered the BOM (bacon, onion and merguez sausage) and i got the T- Rex (ground beef, bacon, hot dog sausage and pepperoni)- we ordered regular sizes, but out came these mountains of fries, cheese curds, and MEAT. I couldn't finish mine (but I'm very proud to say I was damn close to finishing it), so if you're going for two, maybe a good idea to just get the large portion.
The poutine was FANTASTIC- fries were fresh (with a good mix of crispy ones and squishy ones that've been doused with gravy), cheese curds were starting to melt a little, and the meats were fresh off the grill! Wash it all down with one of their local beers.
And its open 24 hours! Yet another reason to move to Canada... Healthcare, Hot PM, and heaps of poutine!
