Poutine. It couldn’t be any more Canadian.
After poutine enthusiasts Lindsey and Francis sampled poutine from East to West, they decided to create a restaurant concept to reflect their own unique take on the Canadian dish. They wanted to create a specialty shop where a classic poutine could be a blank canvas for amazing, elevated (and sometimes wacky) ingredients.
In May of 2011 La Poutine opened it’s doors to the historic neighbourhood of Garneau and since then has been repeatedly voted Best Poutine in YEG and 5th Best across Canada. C’est Bon!
What is Poutine, you ask? Poutine is a dish created in Quebec in the 1950's consisting of fries, cheese curds and piping hot gravy. The word "poutine" is rumoured to mean "hot mess" in old french slang.
At La Poutine, we start by taking the 3 main poutine elements seriously:
Fries: Our fries are hand-cut from locally grown russet potatoes and twice fried in canola oil.
Cheese Curds: Our curds are brought in from La Belle Province, Quebec for that authentic squeak.
Gravy: We offer 3 types of gravy: Traditional, Beef-Style + Gluten-free gravy.
Our petit restaurant has 10 seats inside and 12 outside (Oui! Even in the Winter!) We look forward to welcoming you!
