1112 Queen Street West, Toronto - (647) 342-3732
So who would have thought, Toronto is really becoming a poutine town.
We have been a few times to Smoke's Poutinerie (who have now opened a second location right across from Filmore's Strip club on Dundas.
The new kid in town was Poutini's, I read a really positive review in Now Magazine and decided I needed to give it a shot.
So on a Saturday afternoon last summer we headed down Queen St. looking for the place (like many times in past I had no idea what the address was)
We finally found it a few blocks East of Dufferin just doors away from the Drake Hotel.
Staff were friendly, but ordering 3 orders of poutine took nearly 20 minutes.
The fries are really good, but they need a system to not make people wait so long.
The menu was pretty plain, either poutine or a baked potato and drinks.
As mentioned, the 3 of us tried 3 orders of poutine.
Because it was summer, it was crazy hot out, and the restaurant didn't seem to have any air conditioning, so sitting, or rather standing (as there were no seats inside) was not an option.
We took our poutine across the road and sat on the front steps of the Post Office.
There we enjoyed our poutine.
It was fantastic, the gravy was like the old style gravy you find at a real burger shop (as apposed to Smoke's who use a more Montreal style sauce).
The cheese was good too, and very generous.
Cool too that the packaging, even the fork was 100% recyclable.
In all I really enjoyed the poutine, I'd recommend it for sure.
We haven't been back, since it's not in an area we normally go to, but if you are near by, give it a try.
Their website is.
