Try poutine in Québec

“You are welcomed by the open kitchen and cashier at the entrance. You breathe in the oily fumes of the deep fryer and the grill. At some point, this oily aroma was quite disgusting. A new exhaust fan is needed or a stronger range hood. The floors were greasy, but it was inevitable. We were seated directly in front of the kitchen. For the full 2 hours we were there, we inhaled the endless oily and greasy fumes. Saying that, the advantage of sitting in front of the kitchen, was to ensure our food was always prepared correctly with no “extra ingredients”.”

“After a night out on the town, me and a group of friends decided to head out for a poutine. A great source of sustenance after having over-imbibed a little, and a great chance for me to experience this legendary poutine first-hand for the first time. I had the classic poutine. After all, what better way to judge if this is in fact the best poutine in town? I must admit, I was under-whelmed. The fries were delicious, and had a little sweet taste that made them extra special. However, the gravy was too bland for my taste, adding nothing to the overall taste of the dish. Moreover, one third of my fries had no gravy on them, which is not ideal.”
