American tries MONTREAL POUTINE (3 places in 1 night)

[@JosephD]

This was nuts. On the way there we ran over a muffler in the middle of the highway (not a bumper) but somehow we’re able to continue the trip. So what is your favourite poutine place? Did we get it right? Also we know that we’re pronouncing “Banquise” wrong. Sorry, eh!

Mind you, I never tried that with poutine that has any other stuff on it than cheese curd or some meat like the t-Rex if it had veggies or sour cream, guac or anything like that would probably be awful reheated.

Kevin Mitchell you can’t call poutine as “food”. The fact that poutine is considered “cultural” food shows that Quebec has no food or gastronomy culture...... poutine is simply fast food nothing more.....

[@SergentSarge]

@@henrichvonstaufenberg4841 Saying that we have no food culture is a bit excessive. Of course, we do not have as many original meals like they have in France or Mexico, but we do have some specialities (sucre à la crème, chinese paté, fèves au lard, tourtière... ). I do agree that poutine is fast food, but more and more restaurants really take it to the next level and offer a whole new experience. Also, if poutine is considered a cultural meal, it's because poutine originated from there. If you want a "real" poutine, you need to at least come to Canada, where we have cheese curds. P.S. If poutine isn't food, well I don't know if we can say that hamburgers, hot-dogs or even apples are food.

I'm going to finish the video, but this is an A++ effort so far. Update: La Belle Province is a good representation of what the average poutine is like. A lot of people who try to make recipe videos don't get it because it's meant to be super greasy and essentially look and taste like heaven for people with hangovers. If it's too classy, it's missing the point. McDonald's poutine is alright. Like you guys said, it's not bad all things considered. But yeah, La Banquise is poutine heaven.

And for all those that think poutine is Canadian, please. I don't want to go all nationalist, but I'm afraid the rest of the country just doesn't really know how to do poutine the right way.

Now that's smart!

[@Canleaf08]

Another thing: Near the metro station Namur (named after Belgian city Namur / Namen), there is the Gibeau Orange Julep. This place has orange juice and hot dogs.

la belle province is a chain restaurant, theres no way they make their own sauce.

[@Xachremos]

Not every Belle Province is created equal though. Every one ive been to has been different.

[@IbangedYaMama]

Yeah they are franchises but they don't seem to have enforced "food rules" across the restaurants.

[@Aykalia]

The only difference I've seen, is that some of them don't cook their fries all the way through. Heck there's one where I've had literally frozen fries on multiple occasions..

[@terik4990]

Each bell pros is individually owned. That’s why they’re all different. And bell pros is the best. So yeah, they all make they own food and shit.

[@Xachremos]

@@terik4990 some of them are pretty nasty though. I find its hit or miss.

I subscribed and liked all of your videos. I just found you 2 on KZbin about a week ago. Love watching your videos. All I have to say is bagged milk lol. Addicted to your channel. Keep up the good work. You 2 work great together! I'm from Detroit so I have been to Canada many times. So I get you 2

ALBINO_JAXSON awesome thank you!!

[@rhymeandreasoning]

I was so happy to know you guys were here in Montreal. I live like a 10 min walk from POUTINEVILLE. I pass by it often. Never yet been there. I love you guys so much. Your videos are enjoyable. And I found and got CHEEZ ITS at the grocery store on Tuesday. My first time having them.

[@JunkfoodJunction]

Joe, thanks for updating the video with my BREAKING NEWS about CheezIts in 🇨🇦 eh! My review is up now too, come check it out! ✌️🙂

YAAY thank you!!

[@kiryon2019]

Oh no. Riiiight across the street from La Banquise is a portuguese chicken place that actually makes a phenomenal chicken and chorizo poutine. I never thought I could love a poutine more than the ones from La Banquise, but that one changed my mind. Missed opportunity right there :(

[@curiousoli]

Yep my thoughts

[@Crunchtophe]

Ma poule mouillée. Its also in my top 3

[@flyingzowee3190]

You sang Mr.Brightside by The killers. I’m from Montreal, and you should come back to try one of the winners of the Poutineweek : the magik poutine from Shawarmaz.It’s just magik, really. After that, back to l’Astral and sing All these things that i’ve done ? 🕺🏻😂

[@louis8869]

the reason la banquise is the best is because it's classic fries/cheese/gravy are all typical of small mom&pop patateries throughout the province, i've had better in Jolliette, Lachute, etc but banquise is good AF tho! the the vlog!

[@lucilledion5344]

At Patate Labelle in Lachute ?

[@MichaelLauzon1976]

It would have been great of you to list the 3 restaurants you went to in the description of your video...!

[@riddik79]

I actually like it better when english speaking people say it like "poohteen", sounds less cringey and more natural for them

[@jordanqq]

@@riddik79 I don't like poo on teens, thank you.

[@monsieug]

As a Montrealer, here are my top 3 poutines: 1. Roast Beef poutine from Patati et Patata 2. regular poutine from Frites Alors 3. La Matty poutine from La Banquise *Special mention to the Foie Gras poutine from gourmet restaurant Au Pied de Cochon.

[@JosephD]

mmm now I want poutine again.

[@karog.9533]

Oh au Pied de cochon. Nice, the Bling Pig in Hochelaga made it too like that. Yummy

You guys are totally determinate to your fans which I fully respect and appreciate, I have done something crazy once which I drove 12 hours to a game developing company and personally deliver a huge jar full of cookies to all the developers there as for myself and my fellow gamers to show our appreciation towards their work. I can only assume the poutine here in the west coast will taste differently than those in Montreal because we also use the local sources for ingredients. That being said, I would love to try it in Montreal and learn from it at its birth place. A good, memorable road trip has always fill up unexpected, and a huge plus with a good friend to tag along!

[@ingwis]

Whatever McDonald's offers CANNOT and should NEVER even be considered poutine. C'est sacrilege osti!

Mike Reid thanks Mike!!

[@SylvianeParent]

Mr. Brightside by The Killers! You have missed so many good places but I have to say two of the most memorable ones for me we're at "Le Fameux" corner of Mont-Royal and St-Denis with the grilled poutine and at "Poutine Centrale" corner of Hochelaga and Charlemagne, with the Poutine butter chicken. Banquise is a standard un Montréal but there is some surprising underground places as well. Loved the video!

[@BBQMikeLivinglife]

I'm french Canadian and of course, I lived in Quebec lol ;) Got to say that I agree with your Mc Donald vs Mc Donald USA, I like much more the american side for Mc Do :) By the way, I never liked POUTINE barkkk :)

[@Riel25]

The best poutine in town is actualy in front, accross the street, of "La Banquise" it's at "Ma poule mouillée". Traditional poutine+Chorizzo+Portugues chiken. It's THE best you can possibly have.

[@RichPedro]

I spent spring/summer in Vaughan decomissioning some tools one of the greatest jokes - is how Canadian Tire - sold everything but tires

[@jejeroy]

NOOOOOO it's not pronounced as POUTEEENE it's pronounced as PUTS IN and now give it a try Je VAIS(VEA) MangÉ(MANJAI) DE LA(LAH) Poutine(PUTSIN) but the Québec best Poutine is at the Dave & Dan but its open only during the summer

[@intellivisionmaster7999]

Former Montrealer here . Thanks for the visit. You’re pronouncing Banquise perfectly. La Belle is awesome if you want a poutine within 3 minutes. Nothing wrong with it. McDonalds is good poutine because the cheese curds and the sauce are pretty authentic. It’s only the frozen fries that changes the dish ... but for $5 and on any main corner in the country you can get a poutine fix. Same as in most Burger King and Wendy’s in Canada. Ps) we call the gravy “sauce” in Montreal... not gravy. Thanks for the video. I’m getting poutine tomorrow !!

[@Geno2733]

I heard BK's poutine isn't very good, and I can verify Wendy's is garbage, and that Mickey D's is actually decent for a convenience item.

[@etienne979]

Hey, you always compare stuff between USA and Canada. How about challenging food that is related to the most Canadian thing ever: our flag! The Maple products! Maple sirup season is coming up in march/April, so let’s go back to Quebec province! And while there, you should also try “luxury poutine” options in Quebec’s province best restaurants, like a 40$ foie gras poutine in a fancy place. You also miss bagels (Montreal is said to have the world’s best), and smoked meat. Other option, possible right on your bother challenge, is simple to compare Dunkin Donuts with Tim hortons.

[@TheMightyOdin]

That first place looked legit. People waiting in the cold, packed house. Then the second place was a ghost town and I thought it’s not going to be as good. My friend from Montreal took me to her poutine place, I’ll never remember the name, but the poutine came in like a deep container kind of like the kind you get Chinese food in. Round aluminum with the cardboard like lid that you bend the aluminum down on to secure. It was so good.

[@kevinnn1498]

If it was a classic poutine, odds are that it was La Belle Province.

[@blackwiza24]

Benny does that too.

[@ryanmorby7626]

As soon as I saw you lining up at la banquise I knew it was all over. I go there on every visit to Montreal. Next time try the T-Rex.

[@ValouT]

Who suggested Poutineville ??? And La belle province?? I don’t think they can be the best places. The worst poutine I had in my life was from poutineville...

[@katymaloney]

Totally agree with the whole thing, Poutineville was always underwhelming to me too. Their gravies are just bad. If I'm in a pinch, or on the road, Burger King's poutine actually does it for me. I like the gravy, it's well seasoned. And it's even cheaper than McDonald's.

[@foskco87]

Interesting... I rarely ever go to BK but I do recall randomly trying their poutine once and thinking it was really good for a fast food place. The gravy had a nice tang to it and the fries and cheese were more suitable to poutine. I find the macdonalds and wendy's ones have hard rubbery curds that dont really melt.

[@ragnarX4]

If you ever go back to montreal, right across from la banquise, there is a restaurant called Ma poule mouillee. They sell a poutine portugese style, with charcoaled chicken, chorizo and piri piri sauce. It's a must try.

[@tanyadrake7244]

You need to try Newfie fries (fries, dressing, and gravy!)... Mr Brightside 😊

[@erinjoy2376]

I agree !!!

[@bmaaxx]

What, like real T-Day turkey stuffing/dressing??? That sounds soooooooooo good.

[@erinjoy2376]

@@bmaaxx myword ! Its amazing lol

[@bmaaxx]

@@erinjoy2376 Chew-Chew's Diner on Carlton at Bleeker in Toronto has Thanksgiving Poutine on their regular menu, and my friend and I tried it last fall. It has real roast turkey, gravy and mozzarella on handcut fries with a side of cranberry sauce. Definitely would've been elevated to the nth degree with stuffing, but it was still really fine. I wasn't able to get to Toronto for T-Day or Christmas, so we made do in between. Totally off topic, but the boys might want to try their home made onion rings. Best I've ever had -- and you can order them for breakfast. They make great breakfasts there. Huge breakfasts.

This Montrealer loved this video! Glad you guys recognized excellent poutine when you had it at La Banquise (note: u is silent and s is like a z). Love that you also had to stop at Cdn Tire. Awesome canuck experience for the American. As for McDs, proof their recipes are made to be addictive as well as super salty. They came up with a recipe that works for them when their fries and gravy wouldn't pass an individual poutine ingredients taste test. Good job!

[@mr.intamin1081]

Both of you guys are amazing!’ I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers. Best channel!!!

[@JosephD]

kenneth hopkins thank you Ken!

[@mattbenz99]

The reason McDonald's poutine tastes good is largely because they have such good fries. McDonald's also did the smart thing and decided not to cheap out on the cheese. When you are in a pinch, McDonald's poutine will more than satisfy you. It isn't a great poutine, but I don't even think McDonald's themselves would claim it is gourmet. It is more of a snack poutine.

[@mb.beyxfortnite3094]

We got inspired and today were eating poutine

[@JosephD]

Woooo!

[@pouetpouetdaddy5]

Don't like La Banquise, too touristy ( and guacamole don't belong into a poutine) A good one is at La Pouille Mouillée, front La Banquise, poutine with piripiri chicken and chorizo. C'est cochon!
