Like everything else is this city when it comes to F&B this place changed & not for the better.
Food:
Taste - the main & only ingredient being used is salt. There was no flavors in this poutine like it used to be, it's just salty
Portion - not in the bowls they used to have that were truly big & well plated with lots of cheese. Also for 26$ plus tax perhaps put the toppings on your full plate not just half of it as per the picture
Service:
Unfortunately we got stuck with potentially the worst waitress in the restaurant. Miss'self love' tattoo should have a little more'respect for others'. Horrible attitude from taking the order to giving the bill when I was denied a copy of my receipt because she assumed I didn't want & never asked & printed her copy. Working in this industry is not for everyone. I feel bad for the other hard working staff members that were picking up her slack & serving us after. It sucks to pool tips with someone like that who doesn't deserve it.
Atmosphere:
Lively, fast, buzzing with people & energetic vibe. From tourists to locals side by side & loud conversations with laughter & anecdotes. Thank God one thing remains the same...View more
La Banquise has been serving up poutine magic since 1968, & with 35 different poutines on the menu, it's hard not to find something you'll love.
As part of a collab for my summer picnic series, I stopped by to pick up takeout with my friend Hady. I went for the Royale (pulled pork, bacon, & apples), & she chose the Reggae (ground beef, guacamole, tomatoes, hot peppers, & Swiss). Both were generous, loaded, & full of flavor. Sweet & smoky vs. spicy & bold … we had the best of both worlds.
The pickup process was smooth, the staff was super sweet, & the fun, retro-style decor added to the charm. We grabbed two cold drinks (a lemonade & a lemoncocco) & walked across the street to Parc Lafontaine to eat, chat, & people-watch in the sun.
Open 24/7, La Banquise is the kind of spot that works whether you're craving a midnight snack or planning a sunny park lunch. It's a Plateau institution for a reason.
Foxy Tip: Pick your poutine, grab a drink, & head to the park across the street. It's the perfect setup for an easy picnic date or chill afternoon with a friend.

some of the best poutine ever, the cheese is to die for!View more
We ordered the guacamole poutine & the spicy meat poutine. Both were delicious & very filling, so be sure to order your portions right. The cheese & gravy was definitely something different, & the poutine itself was delicious. This place really shows how poutine is done properly-like an actual meal. It's surprising they're open 24/7, but I definitely recommend the food. The atmosphere was unique too, with beautiful art styles on each table & a very tourist-friendly vibe.View more
Great food staff SUCKED
The older man I would assume manager running around in a tank top was over the top & annoying!View more
Ça fait plusieurs année que j'y vais de temps en temps, & j'y suis retournée récemment très décevant.. Poutine régulière beaucoup plus petite qu'avant, mais oui les prix n'ont pas bougés.. très peu de fromage, & qualité bof. Service trop expéditifView more

Tried La Banquise last night & it definitely lived up to the hype! The poutine was unlike any we've had before-rich, flavorful, & absolutely delicious. It's a busy spot with a lineup, but the staff are super friendly & efficient. A must-visit for poutine lovers in Montreal!View more
