As a vegetarian, I know some people will say I am not knowledgeable enough to review a poutine place; however, I have lived in Montreal & in Ottawa, where I have had many authentic plates of this Quebec specialty. Plus, I know a good curd & a proper frite when I taste one!
The pros at the Big Cheese:
1) lots of options, even for vegetarians
2) the vegetarian "sauce" is pretty good, a bit peppery.
The cons:
1) curds are low quality. I understand they have to refrigerate them here (unlike Quebec & Ottawa) so you won't get the full squeak, but these were still below par even for Alberta
2) 2 of the 3 times I ate there, some of the fries were overdone to the point of being rock hard. Even the ones that had been soaking in sauce at the bottom of the container were too tough to stick a fork into. The first time, I assumed this was a fluke, but a repeat episode sadly proved me wrong.
Won't be back.
