I’ve never been a fan of poutine until I tried this place. I really enjoyed the accompanying hot dogs as well.

This is by far the best poutine going around. Nothing comes close. The fries must be cooked in lard, they taste incredible. The sauce is ever so slightly spicy, not overly salted. Yes the cheese is on the bottom, but you will learn to love that, it is perfectly squeeky. The only thing that could be better is the acceptance of interact payments.
