Lonely Planet review for La Banquise

A Montréal legend since 1968, La Banquise is probably the best place in town to sample poutine (if you’ve never heard of this dish, see the boxed text, opposite). More than two dozen varieties are available, including a veggie poutine (peppers, mushrooms, sautéed onions) and straight-up classic poutine. There’s an outdoor terrace, a full breakfast menu and a selection of microbrews, plus the kitchen never closes.

    Must see at 3am

    lapetitelea recommends this,

    You must go there after a night of bar hopping. Its worth seeing all the people line up for the wonderfully disgusting local dish that is poutine!
