first food stop when we came to montreal. when I heard about poutine, I was already in love. gravy and cheese curds on french fries! I was so glad we found out about La Banquise before we got to Montreal. Our flight came in a little after midnight and lucky for us this place is 24/7! already perfect :]
The place was packed! but people were constantly coming and going that we didnt have to wait for a table too long, we were seated right away. Our server was extremely nice and very patient.
There is every kind of poutine imaginable! If you can think it up, they probably already have it on the menu. We ordered a large T-Rex to share. it was HUGE! Ground beef, bacon, pepperoni, and hot dogs all on top of gravy, cheese curds, and french fries. it was sooo gooood! fatty meaty goodiness. droollllll. and yet we still had leftovers!
If you're going late at night, do expect it to a bit loud and there to be a younger drunk crowd probably leaving the bars. Regardless, this is definitely the POUTINE MECCA you should make pilgrimage to!
