Our Mission:

After having spent four years in Quebec under some of the world's most widely respected Poutine Masters, Emily and Danica have acquired a great admiration for the delicious delicacy that has been both nourishing (?) and comforting to the two young ladies through times of thick and thin. As a matter of fact, they have decided to pay a little tribute to their favorite dish and to the people of the poutine world by dedicating the following two months to making the final call on the most scrumptiously satisfying dish found in Montreal today. Without further ado, we welcome you to embark on this journey with us, on a journey of truth. We welcome you to the International Montreal Poutine Tour 2010!

Dinner and a movie? Or rather a movie and some Pout, yep that's better.


After a botched attempt to see Karate Kid at the downtown Montreal cinemas, we ended up at the old Forum converted into a movie theatre to see Get him to the Greek. After a hilarious movie we were ready and anxious to get some pout in our stomachs. Luckily we were right next door to to Moe's diner (corner of Maisonneuve and Lambert Closse). We had heard from several reliable sources that Moe's had great poutine. We were joined this evening by our very good friend Alexa Green.

Here's how we saw it:
a) Crispiness - 4.5
b) Thickness of fries - 3 (someone commented they somewhat reminded us of McDonalds fries, not good for a poutine)  
c) Gooeyness of Fromage - 5
d) Quality of curd - 3 (no curd but good, flavourful cheese)
e) Quality of gravy - 3 (your typical fake gravy)
f) Value (ie cheapness) - 3.5 ($9.50 for 3 people but we weren't feeling sick afterwards - which is a good feeling for pout)

It was pretty big and gooey:

Quotes:
Em - "This is the kindof poutine I would want if I was drunk." Alexa in response - "Yes, so true, its simple."
D - "How about some salt and pepper on it? ..Ou actually maybe we should quote me on that because I don't think that's a good thing..."
Alexa - "They're kindof like McDonalds fries... they are kinda gushy but I like that, you know? They soak up the gravy."



Best accompanied avec:
Salt, and an incessant phone call from Emily's sister (there's your shout out Mag!)

Total shebang:
D - It was alright, but wouldn't suggest anyone to go to Moes... the quality just wasn't there. Sorry guys, D's gotta be real. 5/10
Em - I think we're just St. Laurent poutine girls at heart. I'm not going to be as harsh as D, I could see wanting this if I was out and after a long night - but really when would we ever be going out in the Concordia ghetto? 5.5/10

Even though we didn't give it a glowing review, it doesn't mean we didn't eat every single last drop.
