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
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."
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.
Both informative and entertaining. Maybe have a little nudity for the male/vegetarian readership.
