Poutine is a must try if you are in Montreal. La Banquise has it all.

Poutine was on our must have list for Montreal and  we chose La Banquise.  They’ve been serving up poutine since 1968 are open 24hrs a day, currently offering 28 varieties.  We tried 4: the Classic (with veggie gravy), The Mexican (with tomatoes, black olives, hot peppers and veggie gravy), The Obelix (smoked meat and house gravy), and The Kamakazi  (chorizo and hot peppers with house gravy). There wasn't a lot left on the plates when we were done.  The fries were crisp, the curds squeaky and the grav, hot and tasty. Yummy!  This is not your everyday eating but could be addictive. Comes regular or large,  the large might be good if you don’t mind noshing down in a plate of chips and gravy with others but otherwise a regular will satisfy most anyone easily.  994, Rachel Est  www.restolabanquise.com
