My friends and I are visiting from Toronto and wanted to hit up a poutine place since our friends from Montreal are always talking about how we don't know what real poutine is. We were deciding between two popular places and based on our friends' recommendations, we decided to try La Banquise. We went at about 530 and there was a line up but it was nothing compared to the line up we saw coming out of the restaurant.
I ordered "the reggae" which was not on the menu but my friend from Montreal highly recommended it. IT WAS DIVINE. I am also a huge lover of guac so this poutine was everything I could dream of and more. The service is okay but the place is so busy. The servers however, are super friendly. I would recommend ordering the regular because I found that it was a perfect portion to be satisfied and full.
One thing I really really enjoyed about this place is the music. I enjoyed their old school rap and hip hop playlist that kept me moving to the beat while I devoured my poutine.
