Among all the great eats in Montreal, Canada, the most famous for non-Canadians is Poutine. Poutine is arguably the most famous food in Quebec, if not the most famous food in Canada. Hand-cut fries, gravy, and cheese curds. What's not to like? Naturally, with Poutine being as famous as it is, it would make sense that the most famous poutine spot in Montreal, La Banquise, is frequently touted as one of the best restaurants in Montreal.
La Banquise is one of the top tourist destinations in Montreal, Quebec, but because of that many people view it as a tourist trap. As an ignorant American though, I may not be the best judge of how good La Banquise is compared to most neighborhood and hole in the wall Poutine spots though! What we will do though is try a very highly rated Poutine shop in the USA, specifically in the greater New York City area, and compare it to one of the most famous poutine shops in Canada. This way we can see how an authentic poutine compares to an imitation poutine abroad!
