| - Whenever I return to Montreal, a plate or four of poutine is always in order. And Valentine is one of the fast food places dedicated to serving up this dish, and doing it just right. My favorite is the Poutine Saucisse, with steamed hot dog rounds, whereas my sister prefers the Poutine Extrême, with hot dog and ground beef chunks. Afterwards, of course, she is known for falling asleep from a poutine coma.
On a recent visit, we were shopping downtown and made a detour to the food court for this quintessentially Quebec meal. I ordered the smallest portion available given that dinner was just a few hours away, yet the bowl of crunchy fries, gravy and cheese curds was huge; an even larger portion is available, if you can believe that.
First things first, bury all the cheese curds to achieve melty goodness. Then, dig in.
I love the French fries here, both crunchy and tender, as well as the decent portion of cheese curds. Yum.
