Poutine is a French-Canadian dish of French fries and fresh cheese curds, covered with brown gravy or sauce.
Ugggh, I think I just gained 5 pounds writing that but OF COURSE, you can't come to Montreal and not have any! So we ended up at Frite Alors. This was my first Poutine experience so I'm going to go with three stars. I ordered the traditional which was just cheese and gravy. The cheese is not melted, it comes in a curd form (see pics). It was good but obviously very filling.....great for sharing and great for after hours. My favorite part is the GRAVY.....oh my lawd, so good. The cheese, was just ok. It didn't really do much for me in the curd form.
