What people say

"Now let's be serious, you can't possibly go to Montreal without trying a local poutine. And when we're talking about poutines, La Banquise is an institution. What is poutine you may ask? It's a traditional meal from Quebec made of fries, a very special cheese and gravy. Another very "light" specialty right? And at La Banquise, they have a crazy selection of toppings you can add to your traditional poutine. Be aware that it's an extremely popular place and you may wait in line for some time, but it's worth it! "
"Open 24/7, La Banquise is a famous poutine destination for locals and tourists alike. They have over 30 different types of poutine, each with their own funky name! A personaly favourite of mine is "La Taquise" - think nachos x poutine. "
"The poutine place to go too in Montreal. Day & Night they're a dependable location for that godly Poutine. Can be really busy in the summer, they do offer takeout, which is a good idea for a picnic in the nearby park, Plateau Royal."
