My fiancee and I only have 3 nights in Montreal and one of the things on her must get list was Poutine. Well it was between this place and Resto La Banquise, and this spot won the coin toss.  \n\nAs spoken by other yelpers, let me re-iterate some key points. The menu is quite possibly one of the most colorful hand made works of art that doubles as a menu. The interior is similarly decorated as well.  You would never think that a place like this existed in such a location, but drive through a residential part of town, and then boom, there it is just sitting on the corner.  Server was friendly and offered us a selection of their beers on tap and information on what they had for the evening. Eventually my fiancee settled on being a traditionalist with the standard grand Regulaire, while I went the man route and got the  grand Bourguignonne, although I had them leave out the mushrooms. Pics were taken of both dishes and just staring at these took a year off our lives.\n\nMine could best be described as meat on a plate with starch under it.  The gravy was excellent and seasoning of the beef was tasty. Since I am not Canadian, I cannot say whether the cheese \""squeaked\"" or not so I deferred to my fiancee who says \""It didn't squeak but it was still fresh\"" you purists apparently will understand that..\n\nShe enjoyed her traditional poutine, however felt that the fries could have been a little less greasy, more cheese on the plate, and that the gravy was perfect. Definitely one of her top 3 poutines shes had so far to date.
