Resto La Banquise really took me back to these whole-in-the-wall artsy, with just the right amount of punky, funky style of the college town I grew up in. \n\nWe super lucked out and walked in just before the line filled out to the door and down the block. They have packed every possible space in this place with a seat. Little did I know this place was a total institution in Montreal.\n\nI got the vegetarian poutine with hot peppers (not too hot) and mushrooms, a small (which by anyone else's standards is a large)... and I'm so, so glad that I did, because I probably would have stuffed my face with the large if it was sitting in front of me. I've never met a gravy and cheese curds on french fries I didn't like, so this was no different. I must come back for more topping combos!"^^ . "0"^^ . "1"^^ . "4"^^ .
