| - I went here to meet some friends who were visiting at their suggestion (maybe they saw it had over 400 reviews on Yelp?) and was a bit disappointed.
Sure, you can get poutine almost any way you want, but the fries are not out of this world or anything and it's not like putting ingredients on top of a bed of fried potatoes is very difficult to prepare. Considering this place has so many positive reviews, I expected it to be pretty good, though was not even as tasty as poutine you get at a chain like Frite Alors!
Not to mention, once you load poutine up with all manner of things, is it really poutine anymore? I guess like pizza purists, who say only the Margherita is a true pizza, I think I have to agree that poutine is only poutine when it's classic - with gravy and cheese alone. Anything else is just poutine with crap on top.
I probably would never have gone here if it were not for the people who wanted to go there, and I definitely won't be back. I would give this place a lower rating if it weren't for the fact that you can get vegetarian classic style poutine.
Aside from the food which was only meh, it's super crowded in here! Many places in the city are cramped, but it was a little unbearable here.
