Searched, but there has been no poutine discussion.

I had poutine up at Whistler at Zog's and it was delicious. Anyone know of good poutine places in the lower mainland?

[keifun]

I like the ones from Burger King..its decent!

[red_2]

Vera's Pountine !!!

[LsquareD]

Costco!

[SoulCrusher]

+1

Costco!

[LiquidTurbo]

OH YES. Must try costco poutine!!

[Durrann1984]

Belgian Fries on Commercial Drive

[Hondaracer]

BK's is actually pretty good

i had poutine at 5 diff places when i went to montreal and none of them were really "Great" for what i expected in montreal

suprisingly the best one i had was at the casino lol

[happytoro]

Another vote for costco lol
Feels like a heart attack after tho

[beetea]

+1 for zogs

[hongy]

Not newyork fries for sure.

[2damaxmr2]

costco has pretty good poutine but i dont like the beef gravy. kfc has the best gravy

[KO7]

Buckeye Fries in Playland, next to the water log ride by the entrance.

[teaoh]

i say costco has pretty good poutine and its for a cheap price.

[KingDeeCee]

Costco for sure. But the last time I went, it kinda went downhill. My cheese was literally frozen and the gravy was way too salty. However, it's still the best I have ever tasted in the Lower Mainland.

The fries make up for the crappiness of the gravy and cheese :P Oh god I love their fries.

[Durrann1984]

Buckeye Fries in Playland, next to the water log ride by the entrance.

LOL shamless advertisement

do/did u work there haha

[aznrsx1979]

I gotta say Fritz is probably the best. I used to think Costco was alright, but I agree with KingDeeCee, the last time i was there the cheese was frozen.

[Ohkun]

another vote for fritz

[popnGEAR]

i like chambar's then costco's

[Armind]

What about New York Fries?

[HonestTea]

Just wondering, do you need a costco membership card to go in and purchase food at the concession stand thing?

[Amuse]

KFC, they use chicken gravy
A&W
Costco, their fries are good but the cheese curds don't melt!

[[o_o]]

Just wondering, do you need a costco membership card to go in and purchase food at the concession stand thing?

I've only been to the one near Stadium Skytrain. No membership required.

[Durrann1984]

Just wondering, do you need a costco membership card to go in and purchase food at the concession stand thing?

nope dont need a membership to purchase food

just walk in the 'exit'

only bad thing is they take cash only..no debit or credit cards

[Vansterdam]

the 4 best around hands down

fritz ( on davie st downtown)
new york fries
KFC
and costco ( fresh fries + you get a preety big ass servng altthough the cheese sometimes dosent melt like others have said)

[artmotion]

Fritz

[hotjoint]

+1 for BK poutine, i also like kfcs's. I always get it with my toonie meal. I had poutine at red robins the other day, not bad....

[Nvasion]

bk is pretty good but its kind of salty.
costco is okay but the cheese sometimes doesnt even melt and its cold.
dairy queen poutine has good gravy/cheese but the fries are 7/10.


if i was to buy a poutine in the near future it would be at dairy queen, 6 dollars for a large and its a big box!

[L-Dawg]

the BEST is at "fritz" it's on davies and granville in downtown.

[sh0n]

Costco's pretty good - but everyone's right about the cheese curds.

Luckily I live by one and usually get it to go and bring it home and pop it in the microwave.

You get a tad soggier fries but at least the cheese is melted

[hamsup]

fritz is not bad.. but i think Costco one ups them on poutine !!! =)

Burger king is too salty

New York Fries is pretty good

[2damaxmr2]

kfc gravy + costco fries = best poutine
i tried it the other day

[KO7]

LOL shamless advertisement

do/did u work there haha

lol, no I never worked at Buckeye Fries, but I used to work at Playland. I wonder how much damage their poutines did to my arteries cause I loved it. I've seriously never found a better poutine since then, try it the next time you go.

[murd0c]

Harveys actually has a pretty good poutaine as well

[Durrann1984]

lol, no I never worked at Buckeye Fries, but I used to work at Playland. I wonder how much damage their poutines did to my arteries cause I loved it. I've seriously never found a better poutine since then, try it the next time you go.

haha yeah i think i tried it i cant remember

but i had a friend working at buckeyes and i just get the fries and.. nacho cheese to go along with it

arteries were tightening

[flameboy54]

Here's my personal ranking of local poutine...

Costco: ****
A&W: *** 1/2
BK:*
Belgium Fries: ****
NYF:*** 1/2
KFC: ***1/2

Still haven't tried Harveys, DQ, Fritz, Zogs. Heard that Hell's Kitchen has some pretty good poutine.

To this date, the BEST poutine I've had was in HK @ The Keg in LFK. Hands down!! But unfortunately they've stopped serving it. :(

[Amuse]

Where is Hell's Kitchen? They have poutines?

ny fries looks the best

[willystyle]

I hate when Poutines are just unmelted cheese curds.

[HonestTea]

Costco's poutine doesn't seem that big...not even close to 2x of KFC...or so it seems??

[Vansterdam]

costco poutine is fucken huge

[flameboy54]

If you do costco take out poutine, it's huge. They use the rectangular styrofoam containers with the folding lid, like the chinese 'fan hups' and they pack it in. Easily bigger them the eat-in containers.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

had A&Ws yesterday

fucking sucks


tried Costco, its alrit, wats with all the hype? i was expecting more
the fucking curd doesnt melt shit, and its salty



NY fries is the best

[CaRcuS]

i dont think the frits at davie and granville is there anymore

[aznrsx1979]

i dont think the frits at davie and granville is there anymore

Unless they closed recently, they should still be there. I walked by it about a month or 2 ago. I'll go check on my way home.

[Nvasion]

lol i can see costcos un meleted cheese curds

[aznrsx1979]

Here's Fritz's website

http://www.fritzfries.ca/poutine.html

They even give you the history of poutine.

The poutine is really good, but I like their dipping sauces for the fries even more. I almost wanna walk down right now to get some...lol

[HonestTea]

Fuck..now I just gotta find the time to hit up a Costco and buy poutine :D

[Vansterdam]

haha im gonna journey my way downtown tmr and grab a poutine followed by a japadog ftw

[quasi]

how much are the poutines here?

It's been a while I'm not sure exactly but it isn't really cheap from what I remember. It is however quite good they also have smoked montreal meat sandwiches which are great.

[Noir]

i dont think the frits at davie and granville is there anymore

I was there last Tuesday.

They're poutine is just so-so. Gravy is good as gravy generally is but I didn't really dig the fries. They had like NY Fries type of fries instead of the McDonalds, KFC type which I prefer.

Although Fritz does have more variations such as bacon poutine or chicken poutine which I have yet to try.

[LiquidTurbo]

Eww Anny's looks burnt..

[d1]

I tried Costco's yesterday.. wasn't good at all

[HonestTea]

^ FUCK?

[Adsdeman]

Not newyork fries for sure.

x2 they suck, Churches chicken is decent!

[willystyle]

Went to Fritz last night for their Poutine..

Ordered the Jumbo Pountine with Montreal Smoked Meat.. it was alright.. shared with my friend.. definitely not worth the price... fries + pop + smoked meat = $10.25

also ordered a small fritz fries with chili chutney dip.. this wasn't bad... it was alright.. $4.75..

Probably not gonna visit again.. quality doesn't justify with the price..

[Volvoman]

I gotta say Fritz is probably the best. I used to think Costco was alright, but I agree with KingDeeCee, the last time i was there the cheese was frozen.

Went to try out Fritz today :thumbsup:

Nice Review!

[Nvasion]

went DQ today and it was yummers!

[Durrann1984]

Dam volvo!! lol
im so dam hungry now
and u HAD to show pics
im starvin lol

[HonestTea]

Damn Volvo looks so damn good!

How much did it cost?

[Meowjin]

fritz is the best. Gotta get a dip to go with that poutine1!!

[akira112]

DQ, Belgian fries, Zogs up @ Whistler.

Fritz looks good, gotta give that try.

[Volvoman]

Poutine was $5 for the medium. If you're hungry, the medium will do. If you're really, really starving, go for the large. The XL is only for people sharing..unless you're hardcore.

But then again, while I was there I saw a dude order a medium, eat it on the spot, then order another one for the road as he was walking home...

[2damaxmr2]

not going to downtown for a poutine....

[HonestTea]

Just bought a Costco Poutine and you guys weren't lying when it was huge, hahaha

I expected a bigger box but it was good for the price, compared to NYF.

I didn't taste it fresh cause my friend bought it for me and came to my place, it was a little cold, so I oven'd it (PS: Styrofoam melts in ovens LOL) The cheese was semi-melted before I shoved it in the oven, it was more like room-temperature cheese, not frozen.

It was a bit soggy(as expected cause I didn't eat it right away) but it was extremely salty, not sure what caused it, I'm thinking the gravy cause my friend told me, the girl kept pumping gravy into the box and it was like a pond inside the box. LOL

Overall 7/10, better then NYF and it was pretty filling with lots of melted cheese too!

does that include the drink as well?

[NimbeeTT]

Yeah, costco poutine is the best imo. and worth its price
Im not a big fan of anything New york fries, i find the fries really dry and salty and i personally dont like the skin on the potatoes =/

[tough]

zomg just had a dq one its cash

[Volvoman]

does that include the drink as well?

nope

[Slif]

Fritz is better than most places in town, but I dream of Chambar's

[taylor192]

Anyone been to Ottawa? The Elgin St Dinner served a poutine that was the size of a whole plate for $6.99... or you could upgrade the hashborwns in your breakfast to a poutine... for less than $10 total!

I miss east coast food, serving sizes, and prices. Damn left coast taxes.

[..::lazybum::..]

New York Fries
KFC ( unfortunatly )
And Costco

MMMMmmmmm

[Durrann1984]

Fritz is better than most places in town, but I dream of Chambar's

worrd??

[murd0c]

I worked at NYF at Famous players in guildford for a bit. I made the best Poutune around. The trick when making it is to get the fries more crispy then normal so the gravy won't turn it into a soup.

[..::lazybum::..]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[CivicTypeRice]

m mmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm mmmmm

forget, KFC, burger king, costco, and A&W (gross)

this is the real deal , the shit
and no i recommand eating on site, so it doesnt get soggy when u take out
hell, i ate a sandwich and scallop roll and a cali roll at lunch

than 3pm i went for a large cuz i had this craving for a decent poutine. googled it up and ppl raved about it, so i was like aww wat the hell

i think i will try XL tomorrow haha

u can add chicken, bacon bits, or even montreal meats!!! crazy

they have like 9 dipping sauces, didnt bother to try. wanted the original poutine flavour

drool
their fries are nice and crispy, not soggy shit. gravy is decent yet not overpower nor too salty like costco.
the way they filll it up is half way the filling they stop and add some curd cheese with gravy, than stop and continue to stuff the fries. By the time they reach the top more cheese curd and more gravy. its the shitttt :thumbsup:

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

Went to Costco today... Thumbs down. Had size, but thats about it.

werd tats wat i say


dont know why some ppl on here RAVESSSS about it

:rolleyes:

[Veilz]

New York Fries!!!

During a non-busy time, and with accomodating staff, ask them to re-fry the fries to make them super crispy, then use the extra crispy fries in making the poutine (done this a couple of times).

You run the risk of a heart attack with the extra grease but at least you would die smiling =D

[racerman88]

Belgian Fries on Commercial Drive

they are good

[abinga]

If your doing NYF then you have to say double cheese, double gravy... otherwise its no good.

[TypeRNammer]

Costco Poutine

I KO'd eating it half way, too much cheese -.-!

Not local to Vancouver but thought I'd share what you can get in Montreal and to make you guys drool. :)

Oh, and in the background, those are authentic Montreal steamed hot dogs! So good! :D

Ship some over here bcrdukes! That looks soooo tasty.. Whats the name of the restaurant?

[bcrdukes]

*haha!*

Sorry guys, I had that last year when I was in Montreal for business and the name of the joint - I can never remember but it's in the Saint Laurent shopping district. If I recall correctly, the name of the place is translated into English as "Iceberg." It's open 24/7 and awesome after a night of drinking and partying in the university/clubbing district. :D

[aznrsx1979]

Just had BK's on my way home. I still gotta say from personal experience it's

1. Fritz
2. BK (alright, not great)
3. Costco (cheese was cold the last 2 times i tried)
4. A&W (gravy too salty)

It's been so long since I've tried NY Fries and I haven't been to some of the others mentioned.

[LsquareD]

Seems like lots of people like Fritz. I gotta try it sometime next week. Mmmm.. Poutine..

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

just had fritz again on sat

mmmmmmm with montreal smoked meat

woot

[Z3guy]

Lobster Poutine at COAST.

I agree 100%....by far the best poutine in the city......no comparison.......nothing else like it in the city

[Alphamale]

Fuck, went to Costco to get some poutine. I will never eat one again. Ever. (at least not for a while).


How the shit do you guys eat this stuff twice in one week? Maybe once every 3 months or something. I felt like a sack of potatoes.

[stewie]

im amazed nobody has mention BURGER BURGER in new westminster!!!!!!

their portion of poutine is HUGE!!!

its on 6th street...like a block UP from the old military armouries....if you guys are ever in that area...check it out!!! its right beside the 7/11 on 6th

Are you sure it wasn't because Alphamale was stuffing your gravy?
hurrr hurrrr.

stewie, do you mean Burger Heaven? I can't think of another burger place around New West.

[RFlush]

Are you sure it wasn't because Alphamale was stuffing your gravy?
hurrr hurrrr.


Shit maybe you were right. His fry had a lot of cheese around the tip as well!

[willystyle]

Costco Poutine is gross, the gravy that I had was cold, and the cheese curds never melted.

[taylor192]

Fritz on 718 Davie st is the shit
Fritz is good, yet for the price I was expecting larger portions.

[taylor192]

Is there a chip truck anywhere in this city? Out east they have the best poutine and prices.

[!SG]

had pajo's poutine, was ok, but the fries tasted off. the gravy was good though

had costco's poutine, large portion but the gravy was way too salty

[HonestTea]

[q0192837465]

IMO the best hands down i the Lobster Poutine from Coast

[Durrann1984]

IMO the best hands down i the Lobster Poutine from Coast

how muchh?:D

[winson604]

how muchh?:D

I don't remember exactly but it was over $10 and under $20. It isn't showing on their online menu right now but I know they have it. I went again 2 months ago and they just brought it back on the menu due to demand so I can't imagine they would take it off again so suddenly. They told me they are also bringing back the lobster grilled cheese sandwhich soon too due to demand.

[Vansterdam]

^

nah. It's so nasty. cold cheese curds wtf. nasty gravy.

thats why u bring it home and renuke/reheat it :)

mmmm lobster grilled cheese

[Nvasion]

anyone try the poutine place under the cobalt hotel in vancouver? right before the georgia viaduct

[K-Dub]

thats why u bring it home and renuke/reheat it :)

mmmm lobster grilled cheese
what good is food that you have to reheat again just to make it edible?

[Expresso]

what good is food that you have to reheat again just to make it edible?

then you get soggy fries! but thats just me my preference is cripsy fries and properly melted cheese.

[Nvasion]

i just ate a DQ poutine and omg!!! best poutine ive had in my life!!! i kid u not~!!!! the person who made it put 30% more fries 30% more grvy 20% more cheese... the box was so filled!! omg my heart hurts in such a good way!!!

[DeeK]

Went to Fritz yesterday. That was average at best.

Then again I'm used to A little shop out of Calgary called "King of subs". It's unreal.

[Jermyzy]

When I used to go to UBC, I liked the poutine at the Pit Pub. They use the skinny fries, gravy, melted cheese (I think cheddar though), some green onions. Then I would dip it in the hot sauce. YUM! :) They also had good belgian fries too!

[Nvasion]

went costco today.. the one by bcit and had a poutine. it was meh..

[7seven]

IMO Belgian Fries has the best poutine.

The worst has to be the poutine at Chambar, $9 for a small portion with barely any gravy and shitty fries.

[q0192837465]

Red Robin poutine sux too. Solid cheese & not enough gravy

[Hondaracer]

where can u buy cheese curds?

im gonna make a good one this weekend

[Nismo200SX]

Went to Burger Heaven in new west, had a breakfast burger to compare it to the red robins royal with the egg in it. and added a poutine to the meal since its only like $2.50 more or something like that.

verdict. Poutine with wedge fries ( they claim their fries are awesome too ) those wedges rank in the bottom of all wedge fries i've ever had and the gravy tasted burnt and the cheese didnt taste too well either. 2 thumbs and 2 big toes down for Burger Heaven.

To top it off The burger was weaksauce too. Made me wish I went to Vera's instead hell even red robin.

[LiquidTurbo]

Hm. Gotta try some DQ poutine..

tastes like ass, and they use stylerofoam or however the shit u spell that word. The freaking thing gets melted due to high temp off the fries, fucking melted stylerofoam causes cancer
:mad:

[Great68]

Is there any place around that makes poutine with REAL gravy? IE: Not the pre-packaged, just add water, reconstituted, salty, shit?

[LiquidTurbo]

OH yes. La Belle Patate..

I recently tried this place and it's EFFING DELICIOUS. Their poutine (I tried the original), is really light, and you can eat lots of it without feel sick afterwards. DEFINITELY recommended!

During the Olympics, Glowbal had a little stand set up on Mainland in front of their restaurant. They served the best poutine I ever had. Crispy fries, tons of cheese curds and a not too salty gravy which they were very generous with.

Not sure if they have this poutine on their regular menu though.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

probably the closest to what you'd find in quebec. but their cheese, is more or less cold when prepared, so when they pour the gravy on it'll won't be melted all the way through. they say it's how they do it in quebec, jury is still out on that one.

if they didn't do that, i'd say they'd be tops, but since they do i'd say the best place is belgian fries. although, if i wanted to feel soo wrong yet soo right, kfc

Annie's in New Westminster has good poutine in my opinion. It is prepared and served exactly the same way as I remember when having it in Montreal and in Quebec City. She's from Quebec too! :)

Belgian Fries? Are you sure? I was there recently and the quality of fries (and overall food) was absolutely terrible.

[Hondaracer]

from memory id say Burger King and KFC rank up there for fast food

both are also better than 90% of the poutine i ate in Montreal, their idea of "poutine" is basically a soup, the only place i had it that was excellent happened to be the Montreal Casino in the food court

[Vansterdam]

Belgian Fries? Are you sure? I was there recently and the quality of fries (and overall food) was absolutely terrible.

its really a hit or miss as sometimes i go the place is super packed and other times there would be noone

[LiquidTurbo]

I think it was $5. Worth every cent. I've had a lot of poutine and I think its the best I've had.

[choda]

2 thumbs down for La Bella whatever it's called, I got the poutine with hot dog and the cheese was still frozen, no flavor, over priced I thought for poutine, gross overall experience. Will definitely not be going back, but I guess someone else had a better experience!

[highfive]

Harvey's poutine is pretty good. Comparable to BK.

If not, go to flying beaver and order fries, cheese curds, and a side of gravy and do it yourself. I did it once, it was fucking awesome.

[bcrdukes]

i agree....not the best...nor the best looking either...

Back when I was in high school (I went to Britannia) Belgian Fries was absolutely amazing. The quality of fries and customer service was excellent. They always made sure your food was up to expectation and at times, they would give us extra fries to take back to school with us in case we were still hungry.

But over the years, I noticed that the quality of food had something left to be desired. In addition, they stopped caring about whether you enjoyed your food or not. They just wanted you to order, eat, and to leave. I understand that it's a business but come on, without your customers, you wouldn't have business.

Belgian Fries has let me down throughout a number of different occassions. It's no longer on my list of "must go to" places for poutine anymore. Anny's is where it's at for now. Not only does she serve excellent poutine at a reasonable price, her smoked meat sandwiches and Montreal style steamies are delicious! :)

[November]

+1 for Fritz because they don't just pile the gravy and cheese on top, they layer it inbetween the french fries

[LsquareD]

+1 for Fritz.

Got some mad cravings for it now.. :(

^ I really liked the one at La Belle Patatae! Their beastly looking smoked meat sandwich was really tender and delicious too!

I've also had the one at Fritz before too but that was a while ago, if memory serves me correctly it was pretty darn good too (although I was drunk out of my mind at the time lol)
I haven't tried Belgium Fries yet but I plan to in the very near future!
BK would be my choice if I had an instant urge and I'm not in downtown!... it ain't the best but it'll suppress my craving for the meantime!
Costco Poutine was mega-fail compared to any of the above!

I was in a poutine craving phase for the last 3 weeks (not a big fan but seeing this thread got to me) so I planned to go to fritz yesterday but they're closed on Mondays. Checked out Le Belle Patate on Davie. I was amazed at all their choices of poutine. Had the traditional and I thought it was ok. But this is coming from someone who was never a big poutine fan anyways. Deff worth a shot though.

My friend who lived in Quebec said it was really good.

What other poutins have you tried other than Costco's that lead you to that conclusion?? :p

[-lincolnboi-]

costco's fries are pretty good, but the gravy is way too salty. tried Anny's the other day, good gravy, but the fries were mediocre. their maple twist cone is awesome!

[bcrdukes]

^
Yes! The maple twist cone is AWESOME!

The fries there (in my experience) are hit'n'miss. I've had delicious fries one day and crummy fries the next. :(

[hirevtuner]

had the Vera's poutine yesterday, it was pretty average, but the fries were crispy, gravy was a little salty for my taste and the cheese curds didn't all melt

[2damaxmr2]

Pro tip: KFC gravy + Costco fries, cheese curd = profit.

[skiiipi]

not sure if it was mentioned earlier in this thread
but Zako's on the corner of cambie/broadway has great poutines
and even better montreal smoked meat

Went to Belgium Fries yesterday afternoon and had the regular poutine. It tasted like the Costco one except the gravy wasn't as salty.

[Awesome]

Nice thread. I gotta try some of these recommendations. I love poutine.

[IMASA]

Alright, after seeing the pics on the previous page, I went to La Belle Patatae and tried their smoked meat poutine. I did not like the cheese at all, tasted like rubber erasers. Isn't this stuff supposed to melt? The fries, meat and gravy were good though.

[hamsup]

Dude.. that is what squeeky cheese is suppose to taste like !!!!!!

[Expresso]

Yea I've heard that MTL style the fresh curds are not supposed to melt very easily.

I like mine with melty cheese and super crispy fries lol, total opposite.

[LiquidTurbo]

Ya, its a matter of personal preference whether or not you like the squeaky cheese.. its the original style. Personally I quite like it.. A nice change to the gloppy cheese of other places.

[ASG111]

how much is the costco poutine and is it big or is it the same size as their fries?
i've only had their fries and they are quite good. i wasn't aware that they carried poutine as well

[-lincolnboi-]

it was like 3.99 the last time i had it. they come in the styrofoam plate/bowl things that you usually get with the chicken strips + fries combo if that helps...i've never ordered a side of fries before, so i don't know how big those are. it's quite a portion if you ask me lol :thumbsup:

[Anakin]

i think la belle patate has the most authentic poutine around here, likely the best, you can't beat the real thing

[xPhuong]

I just had a poutine at Brado's Pizza it's on commercial drive.
I got this deal 29.99 for Large Pizza 10 Chicken Strips + Fries, Large Pooutine and 4 cans of pepsi.

Shit the poutine was like KFC GRAVY, Melting cheese and like crispy fries like church's chicken fries but cut like kfc fries :)

[MG1]

Wife had a craving for poutine, so I dug up this thread and decided to go give Anny's Dairy Bar a try. Poutine was pretty good. What really hit the spot, though, was the maple butter twist. It was perfect with the poutine as a "chaser" (for lack of a better word). Alternate between the ice cream and poutine, ftw!

Poutine 7.5/10
Maple Butter Twist 9.75/10

The combo.......... 10/10 pure synergy

The curds are squeeky. Cheese did not melt, but if you push them under the hot gravy they semi melt. It's the way poutine is supposed to be.

BTW, Hondaracer, they sell curds there. $23.00/kg. Not bad, I guess. It's hard to get that shit. Apparently, a lot of Quebecers go there to buy the cheese.

I guess home made is best, since you can make it the way you like. I recall Costco used to steam the cheese curds before putting them into the fries and gravy. This was long ago and they obviously don't do that anymore.

Next. Fritz. I would like to go tonight, but two helpings of poutine might be enough to send me to the grave. LOLOLOL

[bcrdukes]

Glad you enjoyed Anny's Dairy Bar! :)

[J____]

for some reason i always think of something else when i hear POUTINE lol

I bought 2 coupons for the large poutine ($20 value) at La Belle Patatae. I am planning to give it a shot tonight.

Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

[MG1]

So, I went to Fritz tonight. The poutine was better than Anny's. The cheese was really good. Straight from Québec, so they say. The cheese is not squeeky and melts easily. It actually has flavour. It's more expensive. Time to go a few different places next week.

I cannot go back to Costco poutine ever again. OK, maybe....... it's $3.99 afterall.

[murd0c]

I don't go gravy so when I get a poutine I get no gravy and extra cheese and put it in the microwave and with just ketchup and vinegar. So so good yummmm

[willystyle]

So, I finally got a chance to checkout La Belle Patatae this evening. I ordered the Traditional Poutine for $9.50, however I got it for $5 instead cause I had a coupon.

My first impression of the poutine was, the cheese curds were HUGE, unlike Costco's Poutine, the cheese curds were served warm, big and chewy. It had a very distinctive flavor compared to all the other cheese curds that I've had before.

The fries were nothing special, they were just like any other fries at other specialty poutine shops.

Now onto the Gravy, this is definitely the cream of the crop, I've never had such tasty gravy for a poutine before, it was rich, thick, with just the right amount of salt. Unlike the poutines from other places, the gravy was not salty at all.

Personally, it deserves a 9/10 for its overall presentation and flavor. It's definitely the best poutine I've had. Far better than the one besides Celebrities on Davie and Burrard.

wen i went there my cheese was cold...i was pretty wtf...

[!Kodamu]

Harvey's pountine is better then costco.

[Culture_Vulture]

To me, Poutine is a unmitigated mess of saturated fat upon saturated fat upon more saturated fat, but I find of the handful of places that I've tried poutine at, Vera's on Granville would probably be on the top of the list. Generous servings and more gourmet.

Nevertheless, leave it to the Quebecans to invent something like poutine...

that is true, but its one of those things that once in awhile u just dont give a fuck about what you eat...as long as it tastes good and gulp down with a large coke than its all good

i don't think they use regular cheese curds there, when i had it they seemed just like chunks of mozzarella, they shouldn't melt that easily

Having it right now first time. It's salty at the bottom. It's not in styrofoam but also not as big as I thought. Also it's not 3.99, Came to 5.59 after tax. I was at the downtown Costco.

[vafanculo]

I'm not a poutine lover, but have had both Costco and brado's. Before I tried brado, I thought costcos was pretty killer. Now brado has left an urge for me keep going back to brado. Really good.

Got the Poutine Pizza, a smoked meat poutine AND a Philly Sub! I actually liked the sub the most, the poutine was good, but not on par with La Belle, I would put it a fringe 2nd or solid 3rd... battle it out with Fritz... oh and the pizza was actually kinda gross... it sounded like a good idea at the time when I ordered it...lol but it's got no flavour and impossible to eat fast so the cheese just gets cold and solidifies into a block of gunk ...

Burger King gets my vote for most under-rated, for a fast food joint they got it down pretty good ...
Costco for most over-rated! I don't know how Costco gets so much poutine-props from you guys, it was very 'meh' to me when I had it, I've been twice and both times the cheese was pretty bad and salty!

I've had GOOD poutines at Coast, Chambar and Crave but that's cheating, they add some crazy delicious stuff (Lobster, Braised Ribs) in there so it's not a "real" poutine in my books :lol: ... but pretty yummy!

[ShadowBun]

I find Costco's really salty. too salty for my buds.
Is La Belle's less salty?

[Obsideon]

Compared to Costco, all other poutine is less salty... I didn't like Costco's at all ... trust me La Belle is good stuff :thumbsup:

Oh and I think I had the worst poutine a few days ago on the BC Ferry haha

[rageguy]

Costco's poutine is super crispy and extra salty. The cheese is fine and so is the gravy. There's really nothing bad if you don't mind the extra sodium. La Belle is hands down Vancouver's best poutine. Somewhat salty, but just so damn good.

Get the La Belle Poutine at La Belle. It's got smoked meat and stuff. Awesome mix.
