Dropped in for a quick lunch with the wife, it was quite easy to find Le Gros Jambon on Notre Dame street. Once seated, I went with the 'Coke Hotdog' and 'Poutine' and sat at their counter to watch it get prepared right in front of me. While I waited I couldn't help but notice once again how small this place is... in fact... TINY... yet they do the best they can with it. The waitress doesn't even have the space to serve me behind the counter and thus comes in from behind me in between their only 2 bar stool rows.
About 10 minutes later my yummy looking dog and poutine was served... and it didn't last long at all. Delicious!!! The hot dog was perfect though I'm unsure if I actually tasted the coke. Whatever. The condiments were fresh and quite generous. It was one mighty good dog! The poutine was really solid, with a gravy that had both texture and taste that appealed to me, the fries were done just right and the curds melted between them. This is what a standard poutine should taste like.
All was expertly done. I should try their other stuff if I ever come back.
On the way out, I took an "allonge" coffee however that proved to be disappointing as the taste was way off and was far too grainy for me. I'm unsure if it is the grains that were used or the way it was done.... but it definitely wasn't for me.
