À propos
La Banquise, une petite crémerie à ses débuts, a vu le jour en mai 1968. Son fondateur, Pierre Barsalou, un pompier du quartier, transforma celle-ci en casse-croûte ouvert 24H dès l’automne 1968. On pouvait alors y déguster d’excellents hot-dogs et des frites succulentes. La poutine fit son apparition au début des années 80, avec la poutine classique et l’italienne. Devant le succès populaire, et à la demande répétée de plusieurs clients, les choix de poutines se multiplient. On compte maintenant pas moins de 25 poutines différentes. La Banquise est encore aujourd’hui une entreprise familiale. La fille cadette de M. Barsalou, Annie, a pris la relève dans les années 90, en compagnie de Marc Latendresse, son conjoint. Ils continuent ensemble de perpétuer la tradition de qualité et la renommée du Restaurant La Banquise. À l’été 2006, La Banquise fait d’importantes rénovations et agrandi considérablement sa salle à manger. Une quarantaine d’années plus tard, La Banquise est devenu bien plus qu’un simple casse-croûte ou une «place à poutine». Il s’agit également d’un endroit convivial et chaleureux où l’on peut déguster des bières de micro-brasserie, un menu du jour complet ainsi que d’excellents déjeuners. Merci beaucoup à notre fidèle clientèle, les oiseaux de nuit, les groupes d’amis, en passant par les travailleurs, les étudiants, les petites familles, etc... d’avoir façonné à votre image, l’histoire de La Banquise et d’en avoir fait le succès actuel.

La Banquise is the best poutine spot in all of North America. There's just nothing quite like it. There's a wide selection of different poutine's to try, but just the original classic poutine on its own is SO GOOD. It may even concert a poutine hater to a poutine lover. Now I know what you're thinking, "It's just fries with cheese & gravy on top. How good could it be?" Well it's pretty darn good because we have kept coming back time after time on our visits to Montreal & we're from Toronto. I've attached pictures & videos of our visit on two separate occasions, one year apart. Here's something you have to know: you will have to wait & it will be crowded. There are so many people that want to try this poutine & come back because it is quite literally world famous so there's always a line out front. Also, once you get inside, it is a pretty small restaurant, but there are many tables that are very closely placed together so you might feel a little bit cramped. However, the service is quick because they need to be to accommodate all the people constantly coming in & out, & they're pretty helpful at helping you choose what you might like. We recommend the classic poutine & La Royale. We also heard that a lot of locals prefer the poutine across the street at La Poule Mouillée but we realized they only serve one type of poutine there so we chose to try a well-known & widely popular restaurant instead, & we're glad that we did. It lives up to the hype & you have to try it the next time you're in Montreal.Voir plus

One of the most popular poutine spots in Montreal. We tried the classique poutine, but found the gravy a bit too salty & the overall dish wasn't anything special-it felt a bit overrated. We went on Christmas Eve morning, & the atmosphere was warm & cozy. The restaurant is on a charming street, & the service was great-everyone was friendly. I wouldn't recommend coming just for the poutine (the menu is quite diverse, so it's worth trying other dishes & enjoying the small-town vibe.Voir plus

Déçu de ma première expérience. J'en ai entendu parler depuis si longtemps & j'ai décidé de l'essayer. J'ai pris la poutine "la Mart" & ma conjointe a pris "la Rachelle". Ma poutine étais tiède en surface & froide à l'intérieur & celle de ma conjointe tellement chaude qu'elle s'est presque brûler la bouche.. Le fromage n'étais pas à la hauteur de la SUPPOSÉE "meilleure" poutine à Montréal, sérieusement j'en ai presque honte.Voir plus

Excellent poutine! They have a variety of toppings. I was expecting more fries than toppings, but it was the opposite! I had the pulled pork with bacon & apples. It was loaded with gravy & curds throughout the dish. Absolutely delicious!Voir plus

24/7 poutine. We had la classique & la Elvis & I loved the latter more because of the beef & mushrooms. The service was okay. They were very busy at this cozy & lively restaurant.Voir plus

Incredible poutine & that's coming from a Canadian. I ordered the Savoyarde poutine & it was so delicious & filling especially in the cold weather. Highly recommend you checking The Banquise out.Voir plus

Excellent poutine...& so much choice! I would definitely go back to try others. Just beware that it's a bit heavy, but it helps build up your lipid layer to counteract the cold winter air, which is essential.Voir plus

Service assez désagréable, très pressé dans un restaurant pas si pleins à midi. Peut cordiale & pas du tout chaleureux. La poutine était correctVoir plus

You can't visit Montréal without stopping by this protein spot! While the taste is good, what really sets this place apart is the incredible atmosphere. The people here are super welcoming, & the vibe is absolutely wild-in the best way possible. It's the kind of experience you just have to try for yourself. Come for the protein, stay for the energy!Voir plus

I like my poutine. Had to add extra bacon & mushrooms to make it what I wanted. They delivered for sure. Blonde beer is the closest one to lager they had. Good in house option. Salad was interesting. According to my companion it was unusual combination of sour vegetables & sweet apples. She didn't like it though ♂️ Edit: so, I talked to my companion & she pointed out a few flaws at this place. Firstly, it's packed right. Very little space to move around tables. Secondly, plates, menus, tables & tableware are super old, scratched beyond belief & overused. This place does not respect you like a client. Thirdly, serving size is huge & overflows. The food is literally falling off your plate. It's like they refuse to update their tapestry. Lastly, who the hell serves beer in a plastic cup? Bruh.Voir plus

male host with long curly hair had an attitude with almost every guest (maybe he was having a bad day). service was very nice & food was so quick & delicious. this place definitely lives up to the standards! & you get so much for the price you pay. there was a line, as expected for the quality but it was quick & so worth the little wait time! RECOMMEND!!!Voir plus
