Allow me to make the case that you should have it at Frite Alors:\n- The fries are crispy and delicious even with the cheese and gravy! This alone makes a huge difference and was the single biggest factor in my decision to list this as a \"best ever.\" Other places that are otherwise decent (including Belle Provence and even the famous Au Pied de Cochon) don't get this right, leading to a soggy experience.\n- They get the ratio right! Enough cheese curds leads to a rich enough, delicious experience all the way through.\n- They serve them in a bowl! Serving poutine on a plate is an unfortunately common mistake, allowing heat to escape without really preventing sogginess.\n\nThey offer a few \"varieties\" of poutine now, and we tried several. The Moroccan one was good but the classic / original is still the way to go.\n\nBEST X AARON'S EVER HAD WINNER: POUTINE"^^ . "1"^^ . . "0"^^ . "5"^^ . . "1"^^ .
