I was so happy that I was in Montreal this weekend because they were having their poutine festival. Located right in the heart of the Old Port in downtown Montreal, it was the place to be.
First of all, no entry fee. Secondly, you have so many vendors to choose from with a variety of gourmet like poutines. I had the pleasure of trying the deep fried curd poutine, and it was absolutely delicious. Every bite had the right ratio of fries, gravy and curds. That's all you need with a good beer to compliment it. They also had some interesting poutines like seafood poutine with a tartar sauce like gravy. And, jerk pork poutine. So many options for those with different palates. I'm sure you'll find that one poutine that will make you smile.
This festival is great for group of friends because you can all order different poutines and share. I only wished they had more benches to sit and enjoy your meal. It was so limited that you were waiting in line for an available seat.
