Although I've been told they make the burgers in Montreal, I felt like having a poutine and gave theirs a try as I was looking for a semi-quick fix in the area.
The poutine was lacking two of the three key ingredients to a good poutine: squick-squick cheddar cheese chunks (this was the wrong type and grated) and the sauce was quite blend. It tasted like one of those quick-mix you buy at the grocery store. The fries were crisp and big, which prevented the whole thing of turning into a soup within 2 minutes (that is a good thing). The presentation was pretty and the atmosphere of the place is jovial and relaxed and the service is courtois. Altogether, my poutine experience at La Paryse was a pleseant one.
Looking at the next table I saw that the burgers do seem great, so perhaps next time I should stick to that. The poutine only really deserves a 2, but I'm sure there are better dishes on the menu... yet a part of me thinks that if you can't do it right, don't offer it.
