"What I rediscovered was a thing of beauty. The fries seemed to be perfectly built to handle the cheese and gravy, while the curds retained their squeakiness even while melting in the gravy. The gravy itself played a perfect role, adding moisture and meaty flavor to the mix without being overly salty. It was all made even better because of the giant plate the poutine was served on, giving me the ability to eat the perfect balance in every bite."
"So we went looking for some poutine. I read this article from the McGill newspaper, and La Belle Province was the most convenient. For those that don't know, poutine is an order of fries with cheese curds and gravy on top... a supposed specialty around here. This was actually really good... Fries had a lot of potato flavor, cheese was melted all over. All the artery-clogging factors that make something good. Mmm."

"The poutine was authentic and made right in front of you. Gooey gravy and chunky curds add some thick savoury flavour to the steaming hot fries. The decor is unassuming and emphasises that this is a genuine local eatery. There were quite a few poutine options with additional toppings."
"Authentic poutine, this is where locals gather after a night of drinking with friends to enjoy a real, authentic Quebec poutine"
