| - I'm a little obsessed with poutine, ever since having it in, of all places, Chicago. So when I heard that La Banquise had the best poutine in Montreal, it made my list for "must eat" destinations.
Um, this is not the best poutine in Montreal. In fact, I was only able to get poutine twice while in Montreal (I mean, there's only so much gravy soaked fries and cheese curds one girl can eat) and this was the second best.
I ordered the poutine with peppers and onions because I like to try to kid myself that I'm eating semi-healthy. Veggies help with this illusion. The poutine is a little pricey at $8-$9 or so, but not too bad. If you're dining alone, definitely get the regular. The large is enormous. Though this poutine was fine, I actually preferred the cheaper yet similarly sized pepper and onion poutine at Patati Patata.
I was able to sit on the patio in the back, which was very nice and the staff was friendly but overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to grab poutine at La Banquise while in Montreal.
