My first poutine in Toronto and it compared very poorly with La Banquise in Montreal.
I asked for a recommendation and the pulled pork poutine was suggested. That's what I ordered.
First off the fries weren't fresh cut. If the basis of your specialty are fries, why use frozen. The fries also seemed underdone.
They weren't busy. There were only two of us there and I was the only one there when I arrived.
Secondly, the pulled pork seemed to have been sitting around for quite a while. 50 % of the pork was dry and tough. It also seemed overly salty.
Now I know barbecue dishes can be salty. I eat a lot of barbecue here in Toronto. But it just seemed to be the leftovers.
It was 8:45 when I ordered so maybe an excuse was that it was the end of the day. But you know, I was really looking forward to this.
I don't think I'll go back. I'll even go so far as to say that I will avoid this mini chain.
Colour me let down.
