| - HANDS DOWN THE BEST POUTINE I'VE EVER TASTED! It was superb! The fries were crisp, the sauce was incredibly tasty, and it came together amazingly! The waitress told us that their executive chef was from Montreal, so it all made a bit more sense!
Unfortunately, the overall experience wasn't enough to keep the poutine high going, which results in a 3.5 rating from me.
Let's start with the bannock appetizer...it was just bread and pita break served in a bowl with mediocre garlic spread. It wasn't anything like traditional Indigenous bannock that I've tried, so I'm not sure what they were going for here.
We were told that their chicken pot pie was what they were famous and known for, but in my opinion it wasn't anything special.
I ordered the duck poutine pizza, and it was unique but overall ok.
One positive is that my cousin said that their steak was amazing! I didn't try it myself though.
The menu was creative and unique, but fell short of expectations. When the appetizer poutine is better than the mains, it might not be a good thing, but I would go back for that poutine any day, any time.
Next, the service was super slow! The wait staff wasn't very attentive and were slow coming to take our orders and to give us our bills, etc... We were there during the dinner rush, but does it take 45 minutes to get our main dish at every restaurant?
Lastly, the atmosphere was ok, not bad not amazing.
I think I'd return to try some new items, and just to reiterate, I'd come back for the poutine in a heartbeat!
