There was a 30 minute line out the door on a -10 Celsius winter day at 3 pm Sunday afternoon. That is how good La Banquise is.
I had the Elvis and the boyfriend had a (large!) smoked meat. Both were oh-so-delicious. We are big poutine fans in Toronto and frequent Smoke's Poutinerie regularly. Smoke's is delicious but La Banquise takes the crown. For me, it's all in the potato. I think some others here wrote the potato is "golden potato". It has a more waxy texture than the usual meal-y french fry potato.
Can't wait to go back!!
