I had my first experience eating poutine at Shawarmaz and I can't say that I'm a huge poutine fan now.....
They have magical poutine on the menu, so obviously I had to try that. Get a small though, because a large is too big to even share between two people.
The poutine starts off with huge scoops of fried potatoes, the pretty thick cut variety. Then comes the chicken, curds and gravy. The whole things is then topped off with a cream sauce and some chopped parsley.
I'm not the hugest fan of parsley, but it definitely added some necessary color (and nutrients) to the meal.
Overall, I thought the whole thing was very salty and the chicken was really dry. I couldn't finish even half of my portion....
The servers were.... efficient. Borderline rude, but I've kind of noticed that about more than a few places I've been to in Montreal, unfortunately.
I don't think I'll be back. I don't even want to order poutine from anywhere else anymore after this experience.
