On our trip to Montreal, we decided that we HAD to try smoked meat and poutine....we just had to.
We had walked by Dunn's several times and finally the craving hit us in the late evening. First, the restaurant is open crazy hours...we didn't have to worry about being kicked out because it was after 10 pm.
We shared poutine and then I had a smoked meat sandwich, while my husband had the meat platter.
This was our very first pouine (!) and it was divine. The gravy and curds mixed with the fries were just wonderful. The gravy had great flavor, the texture of the cheese was good...I could have eaten another bowl of this stuff! I couldn't get enough of it - but I knew I had a large sandwich coming.
I don't know what we were necessarily expecting...but we were pleasantly surprised by both meals. We ordered the "normal" meat - not the really fatty or not the really lean. The meat was tender, had great flavor and, although simple, very satisfying.
My husband loved all the meats on his plate...while the dish came with bread, he didn't want to waste any space on the carbs and just slayed all the meat.
Definitely a great stop in our short visit.
