| - I have been twice, I have eaten twice and I have loved twice... it's a fast food poutine place so if I walk in expecting delicious poutine and I get that and more - WINNING!
Most people have seen this place.. It's relatively new (last year ish), its small (seats like 20 ish) and its tucked away by Melrose on 17th ave... about 15 feet to the left (ish). My first thought when I went in was HOLY LOTS OF KINDS... so as my brain is trying to comprehend what I want .. Nacho poutine? Pulled pork? Philly cheese steak? REGULAR? Cowboy? Dessert Poutine? Steak? Shoes? Sink? I'm confused... too many choices. Needless to say, what we had we loved - which I believe was the pulled pork and a steak one.
The reason I am writing this review is because when I returned last weekend I was near ready to order something when I saw what the person in front of me got - and my eyes couldn't comprehend such beauty. A Mac and Cheese poutine. The back-story is this... I'm addicted to mac and cheese in all forms, so to see my favorite thing in life ON TOP OF a poutine my heart skipped a beat. My order had to be changed immediately to this flavor. It's a busy place, with a decent line for 2am on a Friday, all seats filled and the aroma of grease and cheese filled the air. They sell pickled eggs and pickled "pickles" (?), which was "interesting", they sell T shirts and they sell pop. So it's really a poutine place.
The beauty arrives. Its heavy, smells amazing and it's hot and gooey. A creamy, super cheesy, hot and fresh mac and cheese piled thick on a really good poutine like they do best. The fries are brown and crispy and hot, the sauce is great and the cheese curds and perfect. This is one carb overload that is HITTING.THE.SPOT.
This is prob the best poutine I have had in a while. Or.... It's the beer? I need to go back very soon...which my waistline will not appreciate.
