I visited Montreal 2 weekends ago with a friend. When in Montreal, one must get poutine, so we headed over to La Banquise. We walked in and didn't have to wait long for a table. It was a beautiful day so we opted to sit outside and it was quite nice. Our table was a bit close to the next table but it didn't bother me too much.
As for the poutine - I got 'La Reggae' which had ground beef, guacamole, diced tomatoes & hot peppers and it was delicious! The portions are quite big and you can choose a regular or a large size. I got the regular for $10.50 and I couldn't finish it. (My friend was able to power through the whole plate, but she was very full afterward). If 2 people want to eat the same kind of poutine, I would recommend sharing a large.
