| - Being a non-Canadian, I cannot fully attest the quality of how poutine should actually taste or look since I have nothing to compare it to. However, after being advised that poutine is one of the must-try items when visiting Montreal, I researched poutine places and this was one of the top choices. It is not located in downtown Montreal, but a few stops away when taking the metro.
It is quite a walk when getting off the metro. I was very surprised to see that a line outside the store front was already formed as I make my way towards the end of the line. The wait on the line flew by pretty quick, I don't think I waited more than an hour. - it depends on whether you decide to take out or sit down. The line starts to split into the take out and sit down section. Different type of poutine was painted on the wall, but it was still a bit difficult to see since people were lining up along the walls. As there was 1-2 parties ahead of me, I was finally able to reach for a menu and confirm what I wanted.
The menu was very extensive and definitely made it harder for someone who has never tried poutine before since I did not even know where to started. After a hard contemplation, I finally opted in for the La Miam (ground beef, merguez sausage, onions, tomatoes and Swiss cheese).The styrofoam take out box can get a bit messy which is wrapped in a brown paper bag. Luckily, I asked for a plastic bag; it was a bit dirty, but I'm not complaining since it literally dripped everywhere in the paper bag.
It was entirely filled with toppings and the fries were deeply hidden, which I had to dig for. The fries were not how I usually like my fries: crispy. It was pretty good with all the different types of toppings. It definitely gives you the feeling of wanting more because of all the toppings blended together on top of fries. Seriously who can pass on fries or in this case, poutine?
