My first ever taste of REAL Canadian Poutine when on business in Montreal. Planete Poutine was the closest to my hotel, so it was a why not sort of moment in choosing the venue for my lunch.
For about $12 CAN, I chose a large bowl that I thought I could finish easy. Try again! The fries and curds proved to be no match for how much I could accommodate in my stomach, given how rich it was in taste. For once, I didn't quite finish my lunch. No matter- still good eating anyway.
Customer service here was fun. The gentleman who prepared my poutine snickered when I asked for pork cut up within my dish (it was available, so why not), which enhanced the taste a bit. Add in some discussion that was 95% in Francais, and consider it a pretty good afternoon within Montreal's Boucherville area.
Plenty of parking within this shopping district, and all smiles here. Cheers to a good time eating at Planete Poutine! read more
