Laval and its 5 go-to poutines

Poutine for meat lovers

Even without adding too many ingredients, poutine is what you might call a hearty dish. But did you know you can make poutine even more substantial by adding meat—and not just any meat, but ribs! The Poutine au Rack atBalthazar Laval is a true feast for meat lovers. Homemade fries, cheese curds, beer-braised ribs, red peppers, jalapeños, fried onions, and pepper sauce.

And if that’s not enough, you can always add a little foie gras sauce and some bacon. In that case, a short walk through Centropolis might be in order after the meal.

Innovative fusion poutine

Love butter chicken AND poutine? We're not holding back progress, because someone at Spice Bros Place Bell has come up with the idea of combining the two. BANG! Butter Chicken Poutine is born! A surprising and tasty combination that's definitely worth the detour. Here, we're still reeling from the imagination.

Microbrewery poutine

Generally speaking, we love microbreweries for their atmosphere and their beers. But what we especially love about Les Insulaires Microbrasseurs in Laval is their poutine. Les Insulaires’ poutine has it all. Made with potatoes, beef brisket slow-cooked in beer, beer sauce, and fresh cheese, it’s a true treat for the palate. Of course, when paired with a house beer, like the Senja or the Ma Banlieue, it’s even better.

Poutine for fun

Poutine can be a side dish, but it can also be served with other foods. At Randolph Pub Ludique Centropolis, you can enjoy poutine while playing one of your favorite board games. Whether you go for the Classic poutine, the Mushroom and Bacon, the Chicken, Onions, and BBQ Sauce, or the Portuguese Sausage and Onions, you’re in for a treat. And hopefully, a win, too.

Poutine without compromise

For a surprising poutine that makes no compromises on the taste and quality of the meat that tops it, you can’t go wrong with the Poutine Edmond served at Edmond Bistro. 1855 beef flank steak and mushrooms—a winning combination for lovers of meat and flavor.
