My name is Evelyn and I'm a Poutine-aholic.
As I write this I'm eating Smokes Poutine, which I slightly prefer as long as it's the veg gravy. But, this review is about Poutini's, so let's bring it back to the Queen W poutinerie.
Poutini's is an adorable HOP (House of Poutine) perfectly placed for late night drunk passers-by. They're open hella late on weekends (3:30am!) and have many different poutine options.
My main beef with this poutine is the temperature of the gravy. It just isn't hot enough to melt the curds, leaving them cold in the middle. Their normal gravy is also a bit bland, and I have yet to try their veg gravy. Gravy is 1/3 of a pout-pout and they just don't have it right.
They have their music on really loudly late at night. Others have noted this as being annoying, but I've been involved in some pretty rad late-night dance parties here, so I'm a fan of them bumpin' the hits.
PEPPER POINTS: For offering a vegan poutine. I'm not a vegan, but I recognize that it's a considerate menu option.
PEPPER'S PISSED: Cash only. They have a high-charging ATM at the front, but still... girl needs to save her cash for her cab ride home.
