On one of these colder fall evenings suddenly my husband has an itch for poutine. So... off to côte St-Luc BBQ to try and get a homey dish to fill our tummies.
First, ordering was fairly easy. Called, they asked a bunch of questions and we placed our order to pick up at a certain time. Service was friendly, with people being quite conscientious about covid precautions since there's so little counter space and still quite a few people working in the kitchen. It's a bit of a maze as you go in one at a time, pay at the counter, then move to the right hand in the next room with other customers (if there are any) in the booth section. Then pick up your meal, and exit from that side. Btw, it smells sooo so good when you get in. Just roasted CHICKEN hitting you in the face from every side. Heavenly.
We ordered one regular sized chicken poutine. It was... alright. This is a very heavy poutine, very generous with cheese, sauce, pieces of chicken, and fries. It's got a strong taste of rotisserie chicken so it ain't subtle. It's a more watery gravy so may not be for everyone and fries were thicker than usual but not quite steak fries. Fries were soggy though that's probably because of us having to walk it back home. Overall, my husband loves this poutine, and I think it's a bit too heavy and forgettable for me. Tho when you're craving a chicken dinner and a poutine and can't make up your mind, this will itch that scratch a plenty.
At $15 a poutine, this is pretty high in my opinion. It's pretty packed so we shared one and we were fairly full.
We will most likely be back! Keep supporting local small businesses!
