La Banquise

Montreal
A trip to Canada just wouldn't be complete without a plate of poutine... aka fries doused in gravy and cheese curds. There are plenty of places to get poutine in Montreal... and they range from fancy (think foie gras or lobster poutine) to greasy spoon-type drunk food. (I personally prefer the latter.) La Banquise is sorta the OG spot in Montreal that started as an ice cream shop back in 1968. It's open 24 hours, and they offer 30 different varieties of poutine... but we went with the classic. As you might expect, there will likely be a line (especially if you go around 1am on NYE), but it's worth the wait.
