| - I had pretty high expectations for La Banquise since it's so well known for its poutine, but was ultimately a little bit disappointed.
No wait on a Saturday near lunch for two- we had a nice patio seating until our waitress brought me an opened beer and said that she had forgotten their rule of no alcohol on the patio. She said we could either move inside or she could take the beer back, but the beer was already opened! We moved inside.
I joked about having gone without avocado for too long as a Californian, but it's true. I really, really missed guacamole, which led me to choose La Taquise- guacamole, sour cream and tomatoes. My sister got La Mart- hot dog, bacon and mushrooms. We thought they were both ok, and I was actually grossed out by the guacamole, which was more reminiscent of store-bought guacamole.
One thing that I give to them: their cheese curds were the squeakiest I've encountered so far during the trip, so definitely props for that.
Overall, 3/5.
