Best Poutine in Montreal
La Banquise
This is a classic Montreal spot serving over 30 varieties of Pountine. It is open 24/7 but prepare to wait in line no matter what time you go.
Poutineville
Poutineville is a Montreal chain and one of the best Poutines in the city. They also have the biggest poutine you’ll find weighing a hefty 15 pounds called the Heart Attack Poutine (topped with everything from chicken, bacon and hot dogs to green peppers, minced beef, mushrooms and homemade gravy).
Au Pied de Cochon
Au Pied de Cochon is known for its unapologetically gluttonous menu items such as Foie Gras Poutine and Duck in a Can. Save room for one of their traditional French Canadian desserts like Pouding chômeur or Tarte au Sucre.
