| - Had the hyped up regular sized 'poutiflette' (essentially poutine) for 18$ after tax and tips, which is absolutely ridiculous.
Granted it had cream-cheese-duck gravy and a fancy description, the Poutiflette consists mainly of fries, cheese curds, and gravy. As for the 'fancier' toppings, I had 2 slices of that 'Ile de la Madeleine' cheese, invisible lardons (counted like 5 small cubes), and a couple slices of caramelized onion (lost all its flavour to the duck and cream cheese mix).
Besides that, the dish was overall on the 'too salty' side. The gravy itself was very salty, and there was so much gravy 95% of the fries were bathing and soft (not crispy).
Now in terms of flavor, it was quite tasty and kind of rich (duck gravy and cheese). The chives and rosemary were a bit overwhelming, but when dosed moderately, it was original. So in terms of taste only, I'd give it 4/5 (too salty and too much gravy, not enough crispy stuff).
The decor was typical for a bar, but it has a rigged (weird proportions) foosball table, which has a reasonable pricing of 1$ for 10 balls.
But seriously, for an 18$ poutine, I was expecting a lot more. Either a huge portion, or a lot of toppings, which wasn't the case of the Poutiflette.
