I went to Resto La Banquise to experience poutine for the first time and I must say I was not disappointed. It was everything I expected. Greasy fries, thick gravy and hunks of unmelted cheese.
I had to wait in line for about 45 minutes before getting a table, but that was probably a good thing, I don't think I could have finished a small plate of poutine without being woozily hungry.
The service was fast, but since it was past 9:00 the bill had to be paid in advance. After the order was placed it only took about 10 minutes to get the food and a lot longer to eat our way through that thick mess of fat.
The food was basically awesome. I had the bacon poutine which I gathered was just the regular poutine with bacon on top. If you're going to have grease why not go all the way, right? It was super cheap, about 7 bucks a plate for the small and filled me up for the remainder of the night. In fact, I hardly wanted to move after eating all of that. I would definitely go back, especially after a night at a bar. That would be so amazing. I can't even imagine...
