| - Came here after reading the other good reviews on Yelp, and I wasn't disappointed - they're all true (including this one!).
When I showed up, it's obvious that this place has been around for a long time. Like a lot of the other good poutine places in Montreal, don't be food by the fact that the decore hasn't been changed in 20 years - you're not here for the ambiance.
I got the cheese burger and poutine. The burger was a good North American burger - a bit small by Aussie standards, but the toppings were all fresh. In the end, it was just a side to the "main" dish... The poutine was fantastic! the fries were good, fresh, but not too fried. The gravy was outstanding. It was thicker than most poutine gravies, very beefy. The cheese curds were fresh, and there were plenty of both on it.
If that seems like a lot of time to spend describing fries, curds, and gravy, then you don't know how big a deal poutine is in Montreal. I won't say it's the best in Montreal here, but if you're serious about trying the "best of" poutines, you HAVE to try A.A.'s.
