| - We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon around 3pm after our hotel recommended this place. We had both never tried poutine before. When we arrived there was a line that went outside by about 5 people. We waited maybe 20 mins for a table, so not bad. Warning: this place is cramped when busy! If you're claustrophobic or can't stand sitting next to others while you dine, I would recommend getting your poutine to go!
After reviewing the menu of over 30 poutines, I settled on Le Matty: onions, peppers, mushrooms, and bacon. My husband got La Savoyarde: bacon, onions, swiss, and sour cream. Our food arrived quickly and was piping hot and fresh. The regular size portion is HUGE, we definitely could have split one. This being my first poutine experience, I thought it was pretty tasty! The fries were hand-cut style and cooked to a dark golden brown. The cheese curds were melted slightly, and the bacon and veggies were grilled. The addition of the sour cream on my husband's went really well with the fries, gravy and cheese! My only complaint: I was a bit under impressed with the gravy as it did not taste homemade. I was glad I got mine with the veggies and bacon because they added some of the flavor that the gravy was missing. I would like to try poutine again with a creamier homemade gravy. Overall, it was a good experience, but don't expect gourmet flavors here! It is what it says: gravy, cheese, fries, and toppings, nothing more or less! Would be perfect for a hangover!
The service was good. Waitstaff was attentive and cleared our plates and delivered the check promptly.
They have a French and an English menu, so ask your server for your preferred menu language! Bonus, they are open 24 hours!
