Fries+cheese curds+gravy = Poutine (in Vancouver)

See All Lists
Since I'm from Montreal, QC, I always get asked where is the best poutine in Vancouver. Here is my take on this traditional Quebecer dish who has 3 simple ingredients, fries, cheese curds and gravy! (There is no place like Ashton in Quebec City. Period)

I discovered Anny's Dairy bar for their poutine a few years ago at the French festival on 7th. I tracked them down and took the trip to New Westminster.

It is *exactly* what poutine should taste like. It just matches the one you find in most…More »

Just came back from trying this relatively new poutine place in Vancouver.  (There is a place with the same name in Victoria, not sure if it is the same owner).  Like I said in other poutine place review before, it take 3 things to make a poutine,…More »

To make a good poutine it takes 3 things, fries, cheese curds and gravy and Belgium Fries hits those 3 things very well.

The fries are good. Made from real potatoes they are thick and crisp but not dry.  They use real cheese curds that are skweeky…More »

Fritz take on poutine is ok. The fries are like frozen fries... dry and the gravy... isn't right... It is acceptable. The cheese curds are good though. Very important to have a good poutine.

Fritz is okay only after a night out of heavy partying…More »

The Charlatan is my local watering hole. I have been there many times.  To catch up with a friends or to talk "business" (do go game night where it gets loud like in any Vancouver pub).

I have been a big fan of the Five Points and I was very happy to…More »
