Mmmmmmmm.........poutine. I got back from a vay-cay in Montreal after Memorial Day, and I'm still thinking of sinking my teeth into some damn good poutine from this damn good place, and regretting that I've only been there once. First stop on my next Montreal trip: La Banquise!
My traveling companion and I went around lunch, when it wasn't crowded and ordered La Classique, with french fries, cheese curds, and barbecue sauce (which is really gravy) to go. The french fries were soft in certain places, crispy in others, and the sauce? YUM. The cheese was delish, although it didn't go squeak-squeak like another waiter from anther place told me it should. Hmmmm.... should that be my next quest in Montreal: finding poutine with squeaky cheese?
Whatever my next quest will be, I'm sure I'll stick a visit to La Banquise in there on my very first day back. Shame they don't have an American branch in NYC.
