| - Poutine is pretty much everywhere in montreal...
We recently moved to Rosemont area recently and took a break from unpacking, so naturally we walked around the neighborhood to get something to eat, and this place is just around the corner...
They have signature fries called ecrasé in their poutine, which consists of unpeeled wedges which are boiled then crushed then fried, it gives the fries more surface area to develop a crust. It's quite nice.
There are quite a few choices, the standard varieties are there, like bacon, pizza and galvaude... and you get a little score menu where you can make your own, and you can check off what you want like in a sushi resto.
My friend had the godfather poutine which tasted like pizza, and I made my own with bacon, cheddar, cold slaw and red wine sauce, it was nice, it had some tanginess of the cold slaw with salty bacon (real bacon, thick cut pieces), and sharp cheddar to tie it all together.
The poutine are about 12$ each, a bit on the pricier side, but it's good and the portions are huge. We also order a sample appetizer which had chicken wings, fried pickles, onion rings and fried cheese sticks, served with salsa and spicy mayo.
Yummy, I definitely think it's better than la banquise, and the place always seems to be full when we pass by.
On the menu there is this poutine called the heart attack!!! it's served in a huge frying pan, and it costs 50$!!! for 10-12 pounds of fries!!!
