| - So, this is where all the hipsters flock when the bars close to get a fix of greasy, hot, salty poutine before they get to bed.
For those who don't know about poutine, it's Quebec's version of ramen except no one actually thinks it might be good for you.
La Banquise's most interesting feature is that it's open late. People rave about it's poutine, and it's fine, but it's far from amazing. Well, that's not true, it IS amazing at 4:00 in the morning when you have a belly full of beer.
I don't want to be the one to say "poutine is just poutine", but it kinda is.
A mandatory stop if you're doing a poutine-a-thon, but if you're only interested in trying out poutine in Montreal, I'd go to Chez Claudette. If you're doing a Quebec-wide trip, go to Cantine de la Gare in Rimouski.
