Are there any good places to get poutine around the consulate??? Can't come to Quebec and not get one.

I dont think all poutines are made equal lol Some are made with curd cheese, other with grated cheese etc.

Do you want to try the real thing or a fancy one? Nowadays they make all kinds of poutines... with pepper sauce, blue cheese, and all kinds of stuff.

I like the good old La belle Province poutine. There has to be tons of poutine places around the consulate... Will you be walking?

For poutines... here are a few suggestions:

La Belle Province

705, Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest (on McGill I think)... so a few blocks West of of the consulate.

(514) 845-4113

La Belle Province are franchises so the quality can vary from one to the other. But in general I like them. Cant say Ive been to that one in particular.

Foufounes électriques has a wide variety of poutines, and it is a Montreal Institution as a music venue etc. My 74-yr-old anthropology teacher used to love hanging out there for people watching.

http://www.foufounes.qc.ca/about/

La Banquise is a little further away (short cab ride though). It is supposed to be excellent.

994, Rue Rachel Est

(514) 525-2415

There are a few greasy spoons on St-Laurent below Ste-Catherine that serve good poutine but I cant recall the names now... I'll try to find them.

Do not eat KFC (or PFK as we call it here) poutine. I tried it the other day and it was gross. The gravy was grey :wacko:
