La Poutine - Open!

On the way to Sugarbowl to meet up with a friend yesterday evening, Charles and I encountered an 'open' sign at La Poutine. We stopped in to grab a 'Traditional' ($5.95 for a regular) and ate it outside on the sidewalk, watching poutine lovers go in and out of the small space.


Though only water, diet coke and orange juice were available yesterday - their first day of business - it looks like they will have several exciting soda options ready to go soon (Stewart's, Boylan's and the like). Poutine wise, other options include The Quebecois (traditional + Montreal smoked meat), Granny's Poutine (Traditional + peas + chicken) and a Vegan Poutine.


There will definitely be a return visit and more thoughts as they settle in. Right now hours are limited, but nevertheless La Poutine is open!

so exciting, must stop by. How was the poutine?

I thought it was okay, though I would prefer a bit richer gravy. But to be perfectly honest I don't have much to compare it to.

The cheese curds were certainly a little 'squeaky', but since they're being made here I'm guessing they're pasteurized (?) which doesn't give quite the same effect.

I liked the fries - crispy, skin on. Yum.

Definitely stop by and please report back!
