1. Ma poule mouillée
“At Ma Poule Mouillée, a Portuguese chicken counter in Montreal’s Plateau neighbourhood, the poutine with chicken and chorizo is just delicious! It’s a sizeable portion, so it was more than enough. Satisfaction guaranteed!”
- Anouk, Production Coordinator
2. Patate Mallette
“The one at Patate Mallette, a traditional fry truck in Beauharnois, is really good. The sauce is excellent and the fries are crispy. What’s more, it’s right by the water, so it’s a really nice location, too.”
- Mélissa, Project Manager
3. Casse-croûte Le Connaisseur
“In my opinion, the Casse-Croûte Le Connaisseur food truck is the place for the best of the best poutine. It’s a mobile restaurant in Tadoussac. Everything is perfect: the sauce, fries, grilled onions, bacon, generous amount of cheese and their maple mayonnaise… It tastes like heaven.”
- Anouk, Senior Account Director, Creative Solutions
4. Fromagerie Victoria
“I adore Fromagerie Victoria in Victoriaville. It’s truly the perfect spot for fans of cheese curds that are huge!”
- Josiane, Studio and Traffic Coordinator
5. Gibeau Orange Julep
“The one at Gibeau Orange Julep, on Montreal’s Décarie Boulevard, is a timeless classic at a timeless location. The fries are tasty and the cheese-sauce ratio is very generous.”
- Juliette, Marketing Advisor - Retail
6. Déso Food Truck
“I adore the Déso food truck, which also has a restaurant in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville. With their fresh fries, classic sauce and cheese curds from Fromagerie Boivin, their poutine is just exquisite. I highly recommend their lobster poutine when it’s in season.”
- Charline-Ève, Editor
7. Grégoire & Fils Restaurant
“Located in Mercier on the South Shore of Montreal, it’s considered by many to be the best poutine in Quebec. The cheese curds are sliced, which is a sensitive subject for many poutine adepts! A must-try: their “pain-poutine,” which is poutine in a steamed hot dog bun.”
- Maude, Content and Creative Director
