I am a big fan of french fries, but not of the gravy sauce. The mix of those two, even with cheese? Eh...- That was my first impression of poutines. I didn't have much expectation for the food and I actually love, loved one! Poutine is worth to try, and if it is, here is the place. La Banquise is not simply the tourist spot- you must try, it's worth a visit.
Good for night out with beer. I'd recommend ordering some beer and salads too. It's good but could be greasy so needs some refresh. Also, the portion is large (or even though you think it's not, it's hard to finish all). So you may not need to order many like one plate per person.
