The Best Poutine In Montreal | Best in Town

[@joshwinner2577]

As someone who lives in Quebec, the gourmet versions, in my opinion will never beat the local restaurants. The small restaurants have a more classic feel and poutine feels like a food that shouldn't be made in a gourmet style.

[@JUSTforwhitlisting]

Trust I always get poutine from La Belle Province, never from the boutique places. Although maybe I should try some of the boutique stuff some day.

[@americanmultigenic]

Many years ago, as a poutine "virgin" . . . I saw it on the menu, and didn't know what it was -- I was in Windsor, Ontario -- so I naturally ordered "poutine, with fries" . . . . and the spotty youth doing the cooking never questioned my order, and gave me just that. A VAST mound of poutine (with enough fries in it to feed 4): then an equally vast side of fries alone! (I was just the one person, and enough food to feed about 8.) But, I learned a valuable lesson "never add a side of fries to any poutine order!' EVER! :-)

Ah you mean when Canada decided to change their opinion about Quebec's poutines. Around that time you're talking about, Canada didn't even consider Poutine a dish or a meal. No, it was after McDonald's put it on a temporary menu that Canada tasted it and changed their mind. As a Quebecker, I wish that fact would be presented forefront when talking about Poutine. Canada didn't come up with it, Quebec did!

I was really weirded out when the guy at Au Pied de Cochon put the cheese curds below the fries. I don't know if it's just me but i have never eaten poutine like that.

Many spots add cheese at the bottom under the fries and cheese on top…it melts well with the sauce and delicious

You can't really compare a plain poutine with one loaded with chorizo & chicken and then one with foie gras. They are all completely different flavors and depend on your tastes. Of course the chorizo & chicken is going to be better than the plain and the foie gras more buttery and flavorful than the chorizo & chicken. Either try everyones signature loaded poutine are everyones plain poutine to make a comparison. They all looked delicious though.

I'll tell you right now, the actual best poutine in Montreal is at Pool Room on Saint-Laurent street. It's classic, it's cheap, they've been doing it for as long as poutine existed and it is the SHIT.

[@michaelk5007]

1 ) If you have to use an American accent, call it "Poo-tin" the actual French pronunciation where the n us not quite pronounced, but does affect the vowels is not natural for us English. 2) I fully respect your choices and decision. For $10 the 2nd choice is a truly excellent value 3) With all the hype into style, the authentic 'virgin' variety gets lost. Borderline crispy, thick, unseasoned fries; veal gravy (or mix chicken with beef); and fresh, squeaky curd cheese. After that - personalize it. I change the gravy to a more beefy and sometimes go creamy peppercorn and the toppings van see bacon that is just starting to get crisp, chicken (not as good as seen here), or pulled pork. My son prefers adding a home-battered chickens with a general Tao sauce, the s sauces combine to make a sauce that is difficult to describe other than "the best of both worlds, yet master of neither"

I’ve never visited Canada and I’ve never had poutine, but think I’ll have to try to make some at home one of these days because Swedish autumn and winter is just too chilly and uncomfortable for humans and that calls for some good comfort food!

[@zedxyle]

It'll be basically impossible to replicate at home. Can't get the cheese, can sort of replicate the gravy but not really, and would be very difficult to replicate the style of fries

[@matthewamaral7134]

Great choices of poutine spots. It seems like something very simple but there are so many places in montreal that make really bad poutine. I also agree that Au Pied de Cochon is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. I love a good local greasy spoon type place, but Au Pied de Cochon takes poutine to a Michelin Star level! Bon apetit!

[@paisy6110]

As a Montrealer, I find this video absolutely wrong. It looks like they just googled the "best places to eat poutine" and went there without any serious research. I don’t believe these poutines are fair for this kind of comparison. Yes la banquise is iconic but it’s the only original poutine in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong, both other poutines looked amazing but that’s not the original poutine that is well-known and loved all over the province (because it comes from Québec and should be referred to that way and not a "traditional Canadian meal" and if they had done basic research they would’ve known to specify). Opinions are welcomed and I invite the hate from others from being to patriotic over a meal ;)

[@StructuredBASIC]

Is this "blaise faire" attitude towards fois gras par for the course in Canada? I've never had fois gras but after seeing how it's made I can't imagine asking for it.

[@paisy6110]

StructuredBASIC I’m not sure if I understand your question but no, foie gras is not an everyday food in Canada. The girls just happened to go to a very known Chef’s restaurant here in Montreal which serve more expensive and eccentric meals

[@StructuredBASIC]

I meant the fact that they're eating an animal product that's the result of animal cruelty. I couldn't imagine if somebody shoved a tube down my throat and forced fat slurry into my stomach.

[@krisppynugget]

People often visit Montreal during the summer months which is totally understandable! But in all honesty, and this is just my opinion, I'd say that a large part of experiencing Montreal for the city that it is lies in coming here during the winter months. You experience things differently depending on the season, and the same goes with enjoying a poutine, as weird as that may sound. When you're out in the cold weather and feeling hungry, going into a warm, rustic cabane-style (which is very typical quebecois) establishment with your buds and being served a piping hot poutine after spending a couple of hours outside, it just warms your body up in the best way... That's where the true comfort and delight of eating a poutine lies :) Try it this way if you can, I promise you that it will be worth it.
