Our friend Dylan joined us for a leg on our tour this past Saturday because it was his last night in Montreal before he was flying back home to France. We almost went to to La Banquise, however the line was too long so that stop will have to wait for a while. Instead we ended up at Le Grand Bayou on Rachel near the corner of St. Laurent.
For a New Orelans themed restaurant we were pleasantly surprised to see that they had poutine on their menu. However their pout had a different take as it was with meat sauce instead of gravy.
Here's our ranking:
a) Crispiness - 3.5
b) Thickness of fries - 4.5
c) Gooeyness of Fromage - 5
d) Quality of curd - 2.5 (it wasn't curds, just a lot of crispy melted cheese on top that)
e) Quality of gravy - 0 (it was a tomato meat sauce)
f) Value (ie cheapness) - 3 ($7.50)
It does look good:
Given that we are writing this 5 days later and left our napkin review at the restaurant (haha I bet they were not happy with what we wrote...) we don`t have our hilarious quotes or complete review to write here.
However from what we remember we were not entirely impressed and believe it would have been much better as a normal poutine. It just didn't give us that lasting poutine flavour, we weren't satisfied.
Ewww pizza poutine. As a rule, you should never accept a poutine that has shredded mozzarella on it. Poutine isn't poutine if there aren't cheese curds on it
