Having been born and raised on the Quebec border, I expect a lot from my poutine for it to be outstanding.
Big cheese was acceptable.
It was post hockey game time at 11:00pm and the Red Mile was busy. Into Big Cheese we went for the first time. Big line-up, one guy behind the til taking orders and a true to life "Find Waldo" raised up in the back getting all the orders ready. Limited seating.
I do not like to mess with my poutine. I got the traditional, nothing fancy no gimmicks. I like my poutine the way it was made to taste like! Hubby on the other hand got the Pigasus with chicken, caramelized onions and baby peas. Small sized portions were more than enough for each of us. I am still so full, hours later.
My reg poutine was OK. The fries could have been crispier, the cheese could have been a tad more plentiful and squeaky (6 little pieces) but I Iiked the gravy.
The chicken one (was that really chicken on top?) mixed with the veg, cheese and gravy was actually pretty decent. Next time I may go CRAZY and try the perogie poutine.
The little restaurant itself was cute and as crowded as it was the patrons were well behaved!
