I don't really like french fries or gravy all that much, but I was visiting Montreal, so eating poutine was a required activity whether I wanted it or not. My friend sent me here promising it would be a good spot for the (in)famous snack.
They have a large menu of poutines, and not much of anything else. I had the classic poutine because I figured that was really the only way to see what all the fuss was about. Not gonna lie, it was pretty good! The fries were crispy and the gravy was thin, almost broth-like, which I liked. The cheese curds were good, but I wish there were more of them. I can't help it, I love cheese! Maybe you can order extra cheese?
Overall, a good first real Canadian poutine experience. I can't say I'll be craving the stuff but if you're a poutine fan or just curious then La Banquise is a good starting point!
