I had just arrived in Montreal after a grueling, rain-filled drive from Toronto. My friend and I put our bags down at the hotel and headed for a drink, but the bar wasn't serving food. Where to go? A patron told us to hop in a cab and go to La Banquise for poutine. We were not disappointed.
I regretfully got the La Classique (fries, cheese curds & bbq sauce) while my buddy wisely embellished and had an additional topping. Mine was good, but with so many toppings available, I think I missed the boat.
It's 24 hours, so I may be back another night.
