Cultured Palate: Best Dishes from Canada

4. Poutine
Many people consider poutine the ultimate drunk food – and they’re not wrong. Poutine is an indulgent dish made of French fries, which are topped with cheese curds. Then the whole plate is doused with a hearty helping of hot gravy, which melts the cheese into long delicious strings, wrapping your fries in gooey goodness.
Although poutine can be found all over Canada, the best versions are found in Quebec, where the dish originated. La Banquise is the most popular poutine restaurant in Quebec. Not only do they serve up a classic poutine complete with from-scratch fries and gravy, but they also serve variations on the classic – with additions like smoked meat, guacamole, or roasted veggies.
