La Banquise (poutine)

Poutine is the Quebec dish you have to try, and this 24-hour Plateau institution is where to do it. The mistake is getting it at a chain with frozen fries and rubbery curds — here the fries are fresh, the curds squeak, and the gravy's right. Start with the classic (fries, curds, gravy) to understand it before any loaded version. It's open any hour, so it's also the great late-night feed.

Poutine 24 hours a day in dozens of varieties — the essential Quebec dish, done right with fresh squeaky curds and real gravy. Start with the classic.
