TWENTY. FOUR. HOUR. POUTINE.
Need I say more?
La Banquise is known to be rowdy, which is why it made sense that there were two bouncers stationed out front when we went.
We were a group of 6 and it just took a few minutes to be seated inside (there's also a backyard).
Among us, we ordered the Classique, the Bacon and the Smoked Meat. Smoked Meat was probably my favorite, but they were all equal parts artery-clogging and delicious. Perfect drunk food, as evidenced by the full tables everywhere.
Beware - the portions are pretty large, even if you get the smaller dish. So bring a friend... or 5.
They also offer fries and gravy as a side, because why the hell not?
Also tried one of the beers - a Microbrasserie Alchimiste IPA, which was one of the worst attempts of beer I've ever tried. Seriously, avoid at all costs.
Other than that, La Banquise is a great time.
