A girlfriend brought me here for my first Quebec poutine experience. She sold it as her second favorite poutine place.
My game plan was simple: go the traditional route. Since I was planning on tackling the plate by myself, I ordered the regular size. I built my custom poutine with regular fries, gravy and curds, but added grilled onions for a slight deviation. We checked ahead of time to make sure there was a vegetarian gravy, and to my delight, we discovered that all the sauces were vegetarian, except for the meat sauce.
My plate arrives and I go to town. (I'm not good dating material) I figured the gravy would sog up my fries and I didn't want to give it a chance to do so. The gravy was tasty, but I wished the fries were cooked longer to hold up better to the gravy. The most satisfying thing about the whole dish was the squeaky cheese curds. I looked up from my empty plate to discover that my two dainty dates were unable to finish their equally sized dishes. Oh well, I win.
