The day was hot and we'd been touring for several hours. We were worn out and famished. A beer or two and something to nosh was what all of us needed.
We sat outside at Bulldog Beer House and took in the sights.
The wait staff was very knowledgeable about their beer selection and their food.
As it was our first day in Montreal, we really had a focus on trying poutine. Bulldog has a variety of poutine on their menu and the waitress was really patient and helpful as we made a selection.
With 20/20 hindsight, having had poutine at other restaurants after our first experience at Bulldog,here's what I can tell you.
Their standard poutine was the best we had during our visit to Montreal.
The fries were larger, almost steak cut style. The cheese curds were underneath the blistering hot gravy, so they had melted a bit (a technique we didn't see at other spots) and the gravy was a chicken gravy, similar to a Kentucky Fried Chicken gravy.
For us, this totally hit the spot.
Next time we're in Montreal, we'll be heading to Bulldog for more than just poutine and beer.
