"La Banquise sits at the Col de la Madeleine, a legendary Tour de France pass in the French Alps south of Albertville. The ride from La Léchère by bicycle or motorcycle is magical and is on everyone's lists of Alpine passes to visit. The intrepid (or fit) traveler will find his climb rewarded by spectacular views of snow capped peaks in all directions from the 2000 meter vantage point. Motorcyclists and bicyclists gather at the summit to enjoy the views and take a well deserved break. One of the rewards of making it to the top is lunch at La Banquise. We love it first of all for the views of the mountains from their outdoor terrace and lawn chairs. We have also been very surprised by the quality of the food. It's pretty typical French ski-station food really, but done very well. On a recent visit we had the Savoie burger basket, which included very high quality beef served on a fresh bun with Beaufort cheese and a slice of local ham. It was accompanied by a white sauce (don't know what it was exactly) that was an ideal accompaniment. Green salad and home made fries rounded out the main course. The burger is one of the best I have ever had due primarily to the quality of the beef. Then we ordered a slice of blueberry pie. It wasn't a slice but a full one-quarter of the whole thing. Loaded with berries on a crisp pastry crust, the pie was delicious. They also have a selection of salads (for the cyclists))) drinks and flavored coffees. In short, great mountaintop lunch spot with extra-ordinary views served with a smile. I recommend it heartily for the hungry traveler."

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.

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

One of the best restaurants at altitude for the grand domaine at Valmorel. Service is always good and friendly and food selection excellent whether winter or summer. Excellent vin chaud.

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...
