It would be sacreligious to visit Montreal without getting some poutine. I've had a few poutine experiences throughout Canada and even visited some wannabe places in the States. They are typically hole in the walls, but what would you expect when ordering fries topped with gravy and cheese?
I was pleasantly surprised to find that Poutineville was a pretty nice restaurant. And even more pleasantly surprised to discover that they let you make your own poutine. You get to pick the fries, type of sauce, toppings, etc. This place should be renamed Poutine Heaven! Speaking of heaven they also serve fried pickles here, which is every pregnant woman's dream.
I was happy that our waiter spoke English so he could help me navigate this new poutine world. I chose sweet potato fries, red wine sauce, a variety of vegetable toppings and even some bacon. It was absolutely delicious! The red wine sauce was a bit gravyish for my taste, but guess that's to be expected since poutine is typically topped with gravy sauce.
One of my dining companions mentioned she was never able to finish the massive "small" order of poutine, but have to admit I did a good job finishing mine thanks to the future linebacker currently living my stomach.
