Guy la Patate, how I love saying that name!
This place is located on a strange strip of Grande Allee Boulevard and has existed as a fast-food joint for many years. I decided to take the plunge and try it out the other day and I wasn't disappointed.
Like you might expect from a sort-of-dicey fast-food joint, this place serves up some nice greasy eats. We ordered a jumbo poutine, which had the largest pieces of cheese I've ever seen on a poutine! It was pretty darn good. The hot dogs are your standard fare, and I just had to try the burgers when I saw that they were served on some funny looking bread. The burger was definitely different from what I was expecting. The home-made patty was pretty decent, but the fixings were unique. Inside the flat-topped sesame seed buns was a layer of relish, onions, and... saurkraut! It was a tasty experience, and I'd order it again, although the burger could benefit from the juiciness of a tomato slice.
Beware though, as you'll end up smelling like a ball of grease once you leave the place... but it just might be worth it. read more
