Several people including our cabby told us La Banquise ia a hotspot for poutine in Montreal. We went on a Friday night around 8 PM and had to wait about 90 minutes to get in- it's not fun to stand on the chilly sidewalk waiting and watching everyone sitting in the window eat their warm poutine!! Once inside, it seems like the perfect pre or post-bar place to come, and the restaurant was full of 20 somethings were catching a filling meal prior to consuming alcoholic beverages that evening.

with a classic poutine they cannot go wrong. there are many flavors to taste. my partner recommends the la b.o.m poutine, which has speck merguez spurst and wobble. friendly staff and was surprised to see that they have vegan cheese available. great for a late night...please

no special care regarding customers, long wait to place an order, then hot drinks come cold and you have to go to cashier to never pay.
after riding the col de la madeleine we ate a fantastic tarte tatin and a tarte aux myrtilles, so brilliant!
