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!

A Little Night Music, and some Poutine...

After working up an appetite from some Jazz Fest dancing (yes this is coming a month late...sorry for the delay!) we headed to the Montreal Pool Room across the street - near the corner of St. Laurent and St. Catherine. We'd read some good things online about this classic fast food restaurant known for their steamies (Montreal style steamed Hot Dogs) and for their Poutine.

Here's how we saw it:
a) Crispiness - 3.5 (started really crispy and delicious but got a little soggy after a while..)
b) Thickness of fries - 4
c) Gooeyness of Fromage - 4.5
d) Quality of curd - 5
e) Quality of gravy - 4
f) Value (ie cheapness) - 5+ (seriously good value for a massive plate)




Danny and Lukas from California joined us on this stop for their first ever taste of Poutine (shocking I know..) and I can confidently say they were equally disgusted and in love with it.

Total Shebang:
This was a really solid poutine. For a place that feels like Belle Province and other Montreal fast food chains, Montreal Pool Room is doing a great job at making a quality poutine. We would definitely return. Often.

8/10
