Walking upon Rue St. for hours, my sister and I were growing hungry and since Houston (our 2nd hometown) lacks this delicious dish, we decided to try Montreal Poutine. Being a Canadian and all, I have been a huge fan of poutine ever since I was a young gal. And being Canada and all, (our 1st hometown) I feel that each restaurant that decides to serve Poutine has to be top-of-the-line-legit-make-ya-slap-ya-momma-good. Sadly, this establishment failed to meet that. (I know who has the best poutine and so stay tuned!)
Service was wonderful. (The host complimented me on my attire... #pimpin) We were greeted and seated immediately. Our waitress stopped by and did not hesitate to ask us if we wanted an alcoholic beverage with our meal so I opted to get a glass of their Sangria. It was mediocre...just like the poutine I ordered which was with Italian sausage because I thought it was a bit too salty. The menu was not too pricey either which I think evens out!
The restaurant's ambiance is very relaxed. It reminded me of a very Austin-esque environment. We were seated outside and on a nice day, it is the perfect setting to sit and eat outdoors. The music was not too loud or too soft. Chatter amongst the customers was mildly comforting as it did not interfere with my own conversation with my sister. They also sell t-shirts and hoodies of their restaurant with a simple logo that says "Montreal Poutine" in the right top corner. It was $20 for the t-shirt and $30 for the hoodie, I believe.
Oh yeah, only one uni-sex restroom so beware.
