Gaga Patates – Poutine
Review: The fries were real hand-cut fries. They seemed to be a little smaller than standard. They were well done, but not crispy. The doneness seemed to bring the sweetness out of the potatoes. There was a decent amount of cheese curds. The gravy was of a thicker consistency with rich beef flavour. Rating: 8.4/10
Pong’s Poutine – Poutine
Review: The fries were hand-cut shoestring fries, which was a great differentiator from other places. The gravy was a pretty standard brown gravy. There was a good amount of curds. Rating: 8.4/10
Poutinerie La Trappe – Poutine
Review: This featured real hand-cut fries. They were topped with a lighter gravy (seemed more like a chicken base than beef base). As you’d expect from a cheese factory, there were plenty of curds and they were very fresh. Rating: 8.2/10
Friterie 1151 – Poutine
Review: The fries were real standard-cut fries. The gravy looked like a standard brown gravy, but tasted like it had some Cajun spice in it, which I didn’t love, but didn’t really hate either. The standout element was the cheese curds. This poutine holds the title of cheesiest poutine to date. Rating: 7.5/10
Frank & Mos – Poutine
Review: The fries appeared to be a hair bigger than a standard cut. They were really nicely crispy. The gravy was thick, but strangely wasn’t very strong. The cheese curds were fresh, and plentiful. Rating: 7.1/10
Smoque Shack – Poutine
Review: The poutine had skin-on frozen fries. There was an adequate amount of cheese. The gravy had a good flavour, but was too light. Rating: 5.4/10

Review: The hand-cut fries looked crispier than they actually were. The gravy was nice and thick. There was a good amount of cheese curds. Rating: 7.1/10
Sonny’s Bar and Grill – Poutine
Review: The hand-cut fries were nicely cooked. The gravy was pretty standard brown gravy of a nice texture. There was a good amount of cheese curds. Rating: 7.5/10
