Montreal Excursion for Poutine


Poutine is Canadian comfort food, originating in Quebec. It's french fries, covered in brown gravy and topped with cheese curds.


While in Montreal with girlfriends a few weekends ago, we hunted down this specialty. It sounded so over-the-top, we had to try it.


Most places were closed, and we almost gave up, but eventually we found the charming Maison Poutine, a tiny place, in a building over 200 years old.


After trudging around in the snow (Montreal in January is SO cold), we were happy to find such a welcoming place. And the food was great!



Our favorite part of the meal turned out to be the hot smoked chicken sandwich -- it was topped with caramelized pears, just enough brie cheese, and a tiny sprinkling of red onion, on crusty french bread. It came with a simple green salad on the side. And the poutine was served in a bowl.

Appropriately, we enjoyed our food while the hockey game was on in the background.
