| - 3.5 to be exact. I'll round up for these HUGE portions.
Oh... my... poutine.. this place is crazy with their portions. One of the staple busy places that you can go for Poutine, La Banquise is definitely a great "bang for your buck" place. Keep in mind that this place is generally busy and will definitely have a wait during peak hours even with the decent amount of tables inside. If you are not willing to wait, there is a park nearby so I would suggest taking it to go and eating outside at the park benches or have a poutine picnic if it is a nice day!
Just to keep in mind, the sizes here are very generous. I could not finish a regular size, and I saw the large size which is would fill a large to-go container to the brim. I got the La-T-Rex, which had steak, pepperoni, bacon, and hot dog sausage, with gravy and fries of course. The fries here are not crispy to begin with so as you are eating, the fries just get soggier and soggier. My personal preference would be to have crispier fries as they are drenched in gravy. I think a smaller option would have been better for me.
Next time I come here, I would likely try to get a regular meal with fries on the side and turn them to poutine (for $3).
FYI: This place takes only Canadian debit cards, for foreigners bring that cash! They do have an ATM inside if you forget.
