rev:text	Ohhhh how I wanted to love it... it was -35C or lower with windchill and a 30 minute bus ride to get here so it took dedication and perseverance to consider La Banquise. We were stuck trying to figure out when to get off the bus and laughed that it must be where a crowd had formed. Turns out... we were about to join a fairly long line of people to get poutine. Yup, a rather off hour in ridiculous temperatures and there were probably 20 people outside and even more crammed inside waiting for a place to sit. They did have heaters to stand under but it was so cold it didn't really matter at that temperature. A group of friends ahead of us got in fight about whether or not to wait in the line and when one friend bolted for a nearby restaurant where you could go in immediately, shattered friends followed (and we got to move up faster! woot! heartiness for the win!) So yes... I expected to be in love with poutine here when I finally put it in my mouth. I should preface, I'm a vegetarian so not all poutine caters to me and I therefore may not have ever really developed the taste for it. The vegan sauce is why we selected La Banquise for our poutine quota. I actually don't know if I truly get the appeal of poutine. That being said, I had already has some I liked in Quebec city so I figured my peeps out west may just be screwing it up. Anyways, I got a grilled cheese and a Rachael poutine with vegan sauce. I regret all the vegetables... wish I had tried the plain as grilled veggies added nothing for me. Also, I was over my poutine after a few bites and it was disappointing to feel the need to eat most of my plate. The few bites were good and all but I was still over the whole meal very quickly. The grilled cheese was nothing special but well executed... I almost would have rather a second of those and some stolen fries from my husband. I don't think the poutine was executed poorly... I just don't think poutine is in my blood. I also felt wickedly ill for several hours following my poutine and that's not really worth it (some food is though...). Hubs had the 3 amigos (or something like that) and does say it was the best he'd ever had.... he also liked my Rachel with the vegan sauce so it wasn't just my gravy. Thus, there is a hope for you and La Banquise and maybe it's worth the line and the potential dietary upset for a taste. One thing to note.... debit or cash ONLY here. If you bring only credit you'll be washing dishes ;) I would try Montreal poutine again but I think I would pass on this place due to it's excessive popularity and my limited interest.
