| - Interesting poutinerie in HoMa. Industrial vibe pushed to its fullest - and it's gorgeous. The place tries a little hard with the bottles of Sriracha everywhere, almost screaming "we'd never be so uncool as to have ketchup around".
But right to business: When your business name is Poutine Centrale, you got to deliver one darn good poutine. Good fries, the right curds, and a good gravy. Then, you can think about all the "toppings" and sides.
The fries were excellent, "blanched", hot, and a bit serving. Likewise the cheese was fresh, in small chucks. The gravy was rather unimpressive, with no taste. I wondered whether it's just a powder base - which would be surprising given that it's should be able to make their gravy from scratch considering the amount they sell. The smoked meat version was excellent, with LOTS of meat that we couldn't finish.
All in all, an excellent addition to the neighborhood. Other than their gravy needing some love, I think it's an excellent poutine spot if you're in the area.
