La Banquise is setting up to offer poutine delivery around the clock.
Kate, Kb, Ian, and 2 others are discussing. Toggle Comments
Poutine should always be eaten on-site for maximum french fry crispness and cheese squeakiness.
I suppose it doesn’t make much difference with the overrated Banquise, as their fries are limp and their cheese sub-par,
This almost feels like licensing the Banquise name. The new service will not operate from La Banquise restaurant but from a ghost kitchen elsewhere in town dedicated only to uber orders.
@Poutine Pundit Where’s your favourite in Montreal?
Ian, my favourite used to be montreal pool room, but they don’t use good cheese anymore.
It now goes to Decarie Hot Dog…their sauce is unique, buttery and has a hint of rosemary I find. Their fries are also great.
Whenever I get poutine from anywhere, I ask them to double fry the fries. And always double the curds.
I know you didn’t ask me, but I love talking poutine.
I seldom have poutine, but Patate Rouge is the best I’ve had. But their fries are so good on their own that I’d probably eat them as is.
Unfortunately, P.R. is on a depressing stretch of Crémazie near St‑Hubert, not one of the city’s pleasanter walking streets.
