La Banquise had lots of options and lots of delicious meals to pick! If you ever come to Montreal, it’s a place that you are REQUIRED to dine at!

This is the best spot to go when nothing else is open in town—they’re open 24 hours! The poutine is absolutely amazing, and the service is fast (though sometimes there’s a short wait). Don’t forget to try their root beer—it’s a perfect complement. Highly recommend! They have vegetarian option available

Truely incredible experience. The poutine is legit. Gravy is full of flavor. Cheese curds are fresh and squeaky. Fries are absolutely perfect and loved seeing the buckets of prepped potatoes waiting to be fried! Might be the best poutine I've had.

We got a poutine on Uber Eats and it was good but not ground breaking. I definitely wish we went in to the store because I think if it was hot it would’ve been perfect

The archetypal poutine, I finally got to try it and it lived up to the hype. I got a regular classic poutine and a diet pepsi and had a really good experience. Everything about the poutine was very classic indeed and done well but no particular component was mind-blowing because it will be like other very good poutines you have had, so if you are an afficianado you might want to try some of the many options. But I was happy to see the price was not inflated despite the fame. The service was very nice and very prompt and I still felt very welcome as a table of one. Definitely the gold standard of poutine and there are so many options, including for vegetarians, so it's a great place to bring friends.

On our first trip to Canada, we HAD to try poutine in what has been called "the best poutine in Montreal". Admittedly, I don't know much about poutine (since this was my first experience) but I can say that the poutine was DELICIOUS! My 7 year old grand daughter fell in love with poutine there and has asked me to make it for her homemade. Not only was the food excellent, the service was fantastic and the atmosphere lively but not over the top! Thank you for having us and introducing us to a Canadian staple❤️

An eclectic and insane selection of poutines and open 24/7? What's not to like! Certainly worth the hype and a visit if you are in Montreal and want an authentic or crazy poutine. The service was great and this place is awesome.

It has been years since I have been but it was always a great experience (especially in the middle of the night)! Next time I am in Montreal this is a non-negotiable stop for me.

Open 24/7. Poutine was a bit dry. And not enough cheese for the size of poutine

Really good poutine. But the reason why I'm giving only 2 stars is because the server told me that I needed to tip more. I was quite taken aback by that as tipping is to the discretion of the customer. I already tipped a reasonable amount, but the moment I heard that, I wanted to cancel my tip. Tipping is NOT something that is required, it is an act of courtesy. Overall I had a bad experience because of the server, and I'm probably never returning.
