| - Hmm... out of 10 or so reviews, more than half of them are from non-Canadians. That paints a pretty good picture of what Les Trois Brasseurs is like, which is like a Canadian version of TGIFridays (minus the flair). I went to the Vieux Montreal location, which had a really nice patio on the sidewalk. The service wasn't snooty or pushy, although my server did ask me if I wanted an English menu before I sat down (is it that obvious? Maybe my American flag fanny pack is a little too big).
The poutine, which is the main reason I came here, was alright, but not stellar. Maybe it was because I'd never had poutine before and have nothing to compare it to, but it just seems like mediocre fries soaked in gravy, covered in cheese curds. I mean, tasty as hell, but... ten minutes later, do I really want soggy fries smothered in a liquid heart attack? The Caesar salad was redeeming because it came with, as all things Canadian, a hearty portion of bacon. As for the beer, which is brewed on premises, I cannot comment on it, as I foolishly ordered a beer cocktail (peach schnapps mixed with 'La Blanche' - very light wheat and barley malt beer... never again).
Sitting outside probably makes it seem less corporate, for what it's worth.
