Nothing like a 24 poutine place to satisfy your poutine cravings at allll times. Came here at 7.30am in the morning for breakfast. Tried the breakfast poutine: "la cassoulette" loaded with sweet sweet bacon (plus sausages) and 2 eggs that screams a typical hearty breakfast, but poutine style. It met all my expectations. The potatoes were the bite size, smothered in a rich savoury gravy! Cheese curds were good but ordering an extra serving appears it be quite costly.
Decor and ambiance was funky and cozy, loved it!!! Service was fast and pleasant. Never thought I'd say this, but poutine at 7.30am in the morning at la banquise was a surprisingly great way to start my morning.
Heads up, portions are big (perhaps I'm not used to eating just fries as meals)!! Pack up the leftovers and hike up mount royal, you'll be able to stomach it then!
