Joe Chicago - a taste of Chicago in Montreal... While all of the food sampled and the service were great, what I truly delighted in was the poutine. Even if you don't love poutine, you're in Montreal and it is practically illegal to find yourself in this fair city and not indulge in this decadence. I happen to love poutine, but this place has definitely ruined it for me forever. The gravy was sublime (not sweet), the cheese curds fluffy and the portion ridiculous. It was by far the BEST I've had. Sure it ain't in the most happening of spots, but it was oh so worth it.
