During Poutine-Week I went on a Poutine Crawl with a group and our first stop was Cleaver, but I almost wish we'd saved it until last because it was so good it set the bar super high!
The location itself is almost so blended in that you don't even notice it at first, but once you get inside it's clean and bright with lots of wood and mirrors. It's got a nice feel to it but it was rather loud as it filled up. The tables were set already with paper menus and a mug full of popcorn between the place settings. The popcorn itself was good, with a nice smokey-cheesy flavour.
The poutine we had was Curds, Treacle-Gravy, Whiskey Duck, with Parmesan Duck-fat Fries. The fries were well seasoned but a little limp but the cheese on them was delightfully gooey. The gravy was delicious, with great duck fat flavour unfortunately it was a little too thin so instead of coating the fries it just pooled at the bottom of the bowl. The duck meat was perfectly cooked pulled similarly to pulled-pork which blended well with the fries.
All in all I would eat that again for sure, though I haven't tried anything from the regular menu yet.
