| - Ahh..poutine! I could eat you just about everyday, as a snack, or as a meal! :)
Every single time we come to the Toronto area, we're always craving poutine. Though it's not exactly like Montreal, it is still tasty in its own right.
Poutini's delivers on this.
We came on a Saturday afternoon, as part of our city exploration/food crawl, and Husband and I shared a tiny size of their traditional. Priced at $4.99, it was the perfect size for splitting, but you could certainly finish one on your own. What I liked about Poutini's version was not only was it served in a cup, it was wide enough for two of us to dig in simultaneously.
Once we dug in, we smiled ear to ear. The cheese curds had such a nice bounce and chew to it, and it was perfectly salty and smoky. The gravy had a smooth and runny consistency, but wasn't watered down or overly salty. The frites were fried to a nice deep golden brown, excellently crisp exterior and soft interior; my idea of a perfect fry. How they managed to create the harmonious balance of gravy to cheese curd to fry in each bite is truly astounding.
Open late (3:30am on Fridays-Saturdays!!), this is a great late night snack, but be warned, not a large space, so you either grab it to go or come with a small group.
We'll certainly be back, and try the other flavors. Dig in! :)
