| - I get so happy thinking about the Poutine I had here last weekend that I cry. I almost didn't want to leave Montreal because of this place. But I had work on Tuesday so I had to leave. Such is life...
This place was recommended to us by a former McGill student, a former Montreal resident, and a bunch of random musicians who were selling stuff at a garage sale. So we HAD to go.
9, 9:30pm on the Sunday before Labor Day, we waited about 10 minutes to get seats. The staff was super nice and super helpful with recommending stuff for us to eat. The place was small but everyone in there seemed to be happy and enjoying their meals, and the decor was colorful and inviting. After sitting down I ordered a burger and a Poutine (Patati), which came with the mushrooms and bell peppers (everyone else ordered, actually, the same thing :P).
First, the burger. It's this weeee little burger with a soft yet crispy and springy bun and a tiny little patty. Nothing spectacular but really, really fresh ingredients that melded nicely together in my mouth.
Now for the Poutine. Let me describe it a-la Ham from the movie The Sandlot.
First, you put the fries. Then, you put the sliced mushrooms. Next, you put on the sliced bell peppers and red onion. You top it off with some chewy, mild white cheese. Finally, you finish it off with a liberal helping of dark, beef gravy. Finish by stuffing your face.
The flavors blend so well together! The savory of the gravy with the sweetness and freshness of the onions and peppers, with the fried goodness from the potatoes, topped off with the mild soothing nature of the cheese, it equals an explosion of flavors that satisfies with every bite.
5 stars for a cute atmosphere, super nice staff, and great Poutine
Revisit? Next time I'm in Montreal!
