Although there are many variations with different toppings these days, just like poke, my favorite way is still the classic Quebecoise poutine just loaded with squeaky curds and gravy. The large is enough for two to share, unless you plan on making it your entire meal which I wouldn't judge especially since you can't find ones with the squeaky curds back in the US.

I haven't had poutine since moving from Detroit a year ago. Seeing a place named "L'Authentique" -…read morewell, it has to be good right? This restaurant is essentially a small shack on the waterfront level with some outdoor picnic table seating. It's conveniently located next to a large pay lot, so there's plenty of parking. When we stopped by after driving off the ferry on a Friday evening, it was relatively quiet and we were able to place our order with only one party ahead. Since the fries are freshly fried, it took a couple of minutes to assemble. Classic Poutine, Large ($15 CAD) - As a classic poutine, this is a pretty simple dish. The fries are clearly fresh cut, with even a little potato heel in the mix. They are cleanly double fried, allowing the requisite tenderness on the interior combined with the crisp exterior, even holding up to the gravy poured over the top. The gravy is pretty standard. It seems to be from a powdered base, so it's mainly there to contribute sodium rather than any robust beefy or vegetal flavors. They add a ton of cheese curds on top, enough to cover the entire surface of the metal tray the poutine comes in. The curds are fresh, milky tasting, and fabulously squeaky. They are still distinct with some substance instead of being melted into a puddle from the hot gravy. (4/5) While I can't really compare L'Authentique to anything in Montreal (seeing that I've never visited), I thought it was pretty good. It's clearly good enough to satisfy my poutine craving at least! Washrooms - No public ones, but if it's not too busy, the staff allows customers to use the staff washroom.

Goat Jack's was a former White Spot which was renovated for new ownership. Unfortunately shortly before they were to reopen a truck was left in neutral at the top of the parking lot and rolled down the slope crashing into the newly renovated restaurant. Thankfully repairs were done and Jacks opened. It's a nice space, maybe a little dark, but with a bright bar area. We were quickly seated in the back left in a very large booth for the four of us. The menu features wings, but has other offerings as well. The lovely K ordered the wings with hot sauce and the nachos, neither of which she found to be very good. I had the BBQ burger, and fries, both of which were pretty good. Taste is a personal matter, but service isn't, and our server was excellent. Her only faux pas was filled our friend's Mike's Hard lemonade glass with water when it was almost empty while she had a full water glass beside. She apologized program's fetched Val another Mike's on the house. The four was more about the service than the food, but again taste is a personal thing, but you can't beat great service. They just have to get the food up a half a notch in our opinion.

Would have been longer but the people in front of us gave up and left. Could see many empty tables, but was told they were reserved. They sat empty well after we were seated; what a waste. The hostess was like a deer in the headlights, when she seated us we learned she was also our waitress! We came for cod (Have since learned it is rockfish) & chips special, but the price was only reduced from $24 to $21, not a great deal. The food took a long time to come. We noticed people who had come after us finishing before we got ours. The fish looked beautiful, and the batter nice and crispy, but the fish was very dry and very fishy tasting. The fries underneath were greasy and soggy. The tarter sauce was runny, and the coleslaw lacked dressing. We would have sent it back but never saw the waitress again until she brought the bill, and took our plates. We made a point of telling her to which she only said "I'll pass that on to the chef". We won't be back, and do not recommend. There are many many better choices in town.

As someone who doesn't eat meat, I think this was a mistake on my part. I forgot that the gravy for Classic Poutine was probably not Vegetarian. I should have actually ordered the Mean and Green Poutine. Ooops. Will try to remember that for next time. The fries were hot and crispy; the cheese curds were squeaky just as they are supposed to be. I think this was a more authentic version of Poutine than what we've had previously at Fritz's European Fry House in Vancouver. The cheese curds there were not squeaky; rather, they were melted and had a very ooey, gooey, stretchy texture to them. Personally, I think I prefer the poutine at Fritz's European Fry House even though it may not be as authentic as the one at Mean Poutine . I wouldn't say though that it's better.

This is located on a main strip in Victoria - and I was happy to see it. I'd only had it in Ottawa. They have others in BC just not in Vancouver. It's a small stand so it's tight but it opens to the street so it feels bigger. On your birthday, you get a free beaver tail which retails probably closer to $10. You get to have the original but my favorite favorite flavor is the original with a lemon on it so they gave that to us for free for my mom's birthday. You must visit the spot if you're in Victoria yes it is a little touristy, but it is a very good product and the staff is super friendly.

The strawberry cheesecake one is layered with cream cheese frosting, a drizzle of strawberry sauce, and generous chunks of graham cracker crumble. Service was neutral, and ambiance was great!
