First time in Montreal and the one place we had to try especially being in Canada was poutine and I was so glad we were able to try this place out twice in the span of four days because this has got to be the best poutine there. My boyfriend and I visited La Banquise in two separate occasions and I have to say my first visit was my favorite. Being a New Yorker we weren't very well versed in French as that was the main language there but no worries everyone was still able to communicate in English and we had no problems having our orders taken. But even now writing this review about two week after our visit I can still taste the poutine and wish I could go back and have some more. My favorite part of my visit was definitely the cheese curds and the fries were doused in just the right amount of gravy. A must visit place if you're planning on visiting montreal! The plus side is that they're open 24/7!
