Mostly to cross off the list. I’d get the original version next time. Don’t think the toppings added enough flavor to be worth it. Left wondering weather or not poutine is my cup of tea or if it was just this spot. I’m glad I tried it though and would still recommend others do so!
Reviews / Ratings for La Banquise
While La Banquise is a Montreal “classic”, I don’t think it’s the best poutine in the city or anything. It’s worth it if you want to eat an outrageous poutine with pretty amazing meat combinations but the fries and gravy themselves are pretty average. Basically, I would recommend going there for the novelty but if you are just looking for good poutine, it’s widely available across the city. Plus, the place tends to be very busy and is cramped so it’s hard to sit down and just enjoy yourself.
Service was speedy and friendly! Poutine was hot and fresh! I thought the cheese curds and gravy were great!
Got our La Elvis poutine and it’s amazing! We had it to go since we can’t wait to be seated since the there’s a longgggg line waiting to be seated. We’ll be back again next time we visit Montreal again! 💞
I’ve lived in Montreal 2 years now and finally got around to visiting La Banquise. There was a short (~15min) wait around 3pm. For the large amount of customers and small amount of space, the staff did a great job seating and taking orders quickly. This is easily some of the best poutine I’ve ever had. I had La hot-dog and it was delicious!
I can only describe my experience by poutine my thoughts into song: Poutine, Poutine, Poutine, Poutine I'm begging to love you, I do confess Poutine, Poutine, Poutine, Poutine Please don't take advantage because you're a culinary mess Your taste is beyond compare With lashings of curds of cheddar With soft fries and gravy of deepest brown Your smell is like a breath of spring Your texture is soft like summer rain And I cannot compete with you, Poutine
Great selection of poutines. Extremely long lineup to get in but to be expected as it’s tourist spot. Wasn’t the best poutine I’ve had but still good.
Many options and many toppings. They will charge you first after 21h00 as this is their policy
A very popular spot for poutine in Montreal —we arrived around 2:30 pm and still had to wait over half an hour to get a table. The food was excellent and the portions were generous; the three of us ordered two small servings and were already more than full.
That’s amazing but in the toilets haven’t paper toilet, but the food and the atmosphere is very good.
Honestly hands down one of the best poutine I’ve had. If your in Montreal, La Banquise is a must-try. What we ordered La Classique and La Sud-Ouest
One of the BEST poutine in the city. Try the Sud-west.
Amazing poutine! The meats are tender, the sauce just right, and the cheese super squeaky!
After 10 years still one of the best poutines in the city!
Best poutine in town
Great place
I had the vegan sauce and it is gluten free!! I was so happy I could have a poutine in Montreal that was such a high quality. Thank you so much!!
I got a regular La Classique and was so full by the end of it. I haven’t had much poutine to compare but it was so good!
You can't go wrong with this place. As always, the food was great. They have many options that you have to keep coming back to try more! I had a burger for the fist time and was gladly surprised.
Great place for having Poutine in Montreal! 24hrs open! Best quality and menu has varieties which you can find your taste!
