| - I'm just not a fan of Poutine. I don't really get it, its soggy fries, gravy and cheese curds. But thats probably because I'm not from around here and I prefer my fries crispy and not overcooked. And I think I'd rather have chili-cheese fries than gravy n cheese.
That all being said, this is probably a requisite touristy spot, 2nd to Schwartz if you're from out of town. I had poutine last year somewhere else, wasnt impressed, but came here in hopes to give it a real shot.
I think what really sets this restaurant apart to try poutine is the HUGE VARIETY of different toppings that you can add on top of the gravy and cheese. That in itself makes their poutine much better, and almost a basic medium to have any number of other ingredients.
We ordered 3 plates:
-Traditional
-T-Rex
-Pizza
Since I'm not a fan of poutine, traditional sucked for me. The extra meat they throw on top of the T-Rex made it much more palatable. And I have to admit the Pizza Poutine tasted a lot like a pizza... go figure!
Then we saw the couple next to us order a TURKEY N PEAS plate, and a Taco plate. BOTH looked MUCH better than all 3 of ours. We decided to get the Turkey and Peas. Its easy to miss on the menu, but BY FAR my most favorite one. It really wasnt the soggy fries and gravy I was tasting anymore, it was the turkey with gravy. So no wonder why its such a great combination.
Service was really slow here. I can blame it on the language barrier too, but they just didnt seem that friendly to us. And the line was long for dinner time. So be warned to try to come early. However, they are open 24 hours, and I suppose for locals, this must be a great spot to go for Late Night cravings.
