| - I'd been waiting to make it to a Smoke's for ages. I'm a Poutine fanatic, have had it all over the top 2/3 of North America, and I'd heard great things. We were in Toronto for a weekend and stopped by.
I'm quite glad we did!
First off, the standard Poutine is OK. It's not great, the fries are wonderful, and the curd is excellent, but I found the gravy a bit lacking. I had the wonderful Steak Peppercorn Poutine next, which was odd. I enjoyed the mushrooms, and the meat was on the money as far as doneness, if a bit under-flavored, but it was all made up for by the gravy. The Peppercorn gravy was incredible, easily the best I've ever had on poutine! It was HUGE on flavor, and played so well with everything else in the poutine. I was really glad I got it.
All in all, it reminded me of my 2nd favorite poutine place in Montreal with the tininess and the few seats, and the poutines were good, though a slight step below!
