"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. We had done the Fitz & Follwell walking tour that afternoon so a big meal was not in our cards.The regular poutine was perfectly sized for most of us ladies, if not too big to eat individually. I had the spiciest one on the menu- La Kamikaze- hot sausage, hot peppers, and tabasco. The sauce was unnecessary- a really nice West Indian hot sauce would have been way better than tabasco for sure. Two of our group had the classic and not a drop remained at the end. The fries were chunky and not too overlogged with gravy, and just the right amount of cheese curds. If I had to do it again, I think I would try L'Abreuvoir which has sliced corn dogs on the poutine. I mean if you are going to eat it, go for the gusto as it is essentially a heart attack on a plate.In the end, the amount of hype does seem excessive for what amounts to fries with gravy but the place is packed, service is good and the wait times because this is not fine dining means they can turn over tables quickly so you are never waiting too long, really. They say it is open 24 hours a day and it is packed like this all the time. I believe it. At the end of the day $10 for a pretty filling, tasty poutine is not bad at all."

after riding the col de la madeleine we ate a fantastic tarte tatin and a tarte aux myrtilles, so brilliant!

It was great experience. Best poutine we had and with different choices of toppings makes it even better. Staff could be more friendly.

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.

This place has the best poutine in Montreal! They have a wide selection and you can add almost anything to make your own poutine... There is almost always a line up but well worth it. Large portion is really large.. So just go for a regular size unless you are extremely hungry

Just spent a long weekend in Montreal. I wanted authentic Montreal Poutine. After discussing poutine at length, with the bartender at the hotel I was staying at, he suggested La Banquise. Well I google mapped it and decided it was too far to walk so I grabbed a cab. Cabbie knew exactly where to take me. If you like a loud, vibrant, funky, local joint. La Banquise it the place to go for authentic poutine. I had traditional poutine (no extra toppings) just fries, curds and sauce, and I washed it all down with a in-house beer! It was amazing! I could only finish half of a regular order, very very filling. (And not for someone counting calories). But I did walk it off wandering around another be...
