Our first victim: Cabane

While sitting in Jeanne Mance park drinking Pabst on a sunny June night we decided to start our mission. Our first stop on the International Montreal Poutine Tour was Cabane on St. Laurent between Duluth and St. Cuthbert.

We decided to make a highly regulated and systematized scale for our judgements - A scale from 0 - 5 from "No no no" to "Fuck ya" written on the napkin of each restaurant we visit.

Cabane ranks as thus:

a) Crispiness - 4

b) Thickness of fries - 5

c) Gooeyness of Fromage - 5

d) Quality of curd - 2 ( although to be fair it was grated cheese instead of curds)

e) Quality of gravy - 5 (it was tasty yet subtle and peppery)

f) Value (ie cheapness) - 3 ($5.50 and a solid size)

 

Here it is:

Danica's loving it:

Best accompanied avec:
Mayo and a light fruity beer (we shared a pitcher of Cheval Blanc)

Quotes from the experience:

"I gotta say I'm loving this poutine" - Em

I am loving it with mayo:

Special notes:

- Plate of mayo given to us right off the bat without asking

- Hunks of peppercorn a plus in the delivery

The total Shebang:
D: "I miss the curd but was otherwise thouroughly satisfied"  7/10

Em: "Seriously enjoyed it. Actually liked the grated as it made it overall cheesier, loved the gravy" 7.5/10
