| - Ok, let's be honest. You never go to Verdun. You don't want to, and probably never will.
But after spending a couple years in Montreal, you may develop a passionate love for poutines. Not the kind of drunken one-night stand love, but one of slow savoring of flavors. That's when you start searching for the perfect match.
If I were on a Poutine dating show, no doubt Poutine Lafleur's poutine would in my final two. Fresh fries, fresh curds. Both fulfill the basic requirements. But the sauce. It's rich and peppery. A thick chicken gravy, not too saucy. Your fries won't get mushy. And it gets served in the classic container, none of that pretentious thing called a plate.
If you're serious about finding the best poutine in the city, give this poutine a try (and Maam Bolduc's too, while you're at it) and forget about la banquise, la belle province or Patati Patata. And did I say it's cheap? $4 with taxes for the one pictured above.
edit: This place is NOT to be confused with Lafleur the hotdog chain. It's a local thing, and the real deal.
