Great poutine, very nice place (you can smell tradition) & many good options. Delicious dessert with maple syrup.View 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
Poutines are so delicious! Many different Variants to choose!View more
Meh not the best poutine but good vibes & fun part of townView more
Cela fait 2x que j'y vais. Attendu maximum 10 min. Les serveurs sont super gentils. La poutine, sans être la meilleure, est assez standard & bonne. Il y a plusieurs choix de poutine. Les pogos sont bon & les burgers aussi. Les quantités sont assez grosses pour le prix!View more
It was one of the most recommended places I've been to & they didn't disappoint at all. The different options for poutine is nuts & everyone will find something to eat, from meat to vegan options it's all there. I did got the La Bonheur Poutine & it was so good that I could have gotten a second plate. The hype is well deserved.View more
Un incontournable de Montréal. La poutine est une des meilleures, tout est bien balancé (ratio sauce, fromage, frites). Le service est rapide & efficace.View more
On y trouve probablement les meilleures poutines (une demi-portion suffit à caler une bonne faim) de la ville qui sont ici déclinées dans une carte longue comme le bras.... Il y'en a pour tous les goûts ! Des salades (archi-copieuses) & des hamburgers sont également proposés... Service aussi efficace que sympathique & gentil & le tout à petits prix...View more
Un classique de la poutine à Montréal. Plus de variétés que j'ai de cheveux. Un endroit simple mais hyper delicieux. Allez y!View more
To be honest, this wasn't my favorite poutine experience. The wait was very long, & I tried two different options but didn't really enjoy either. I do wonder if the classic poutine might have been a better choice.View more
If you're going to go to Banquise, eat in. I had take out & was thoroughly disappointed. Long wait & soggy fries. I've had much better poutine at other places in town.View more
Second Review: 18 May, 2025. I ordered the Scooby Poutine. & it's a go out & try.
The Scooby poutine was really good. It was perfect & not that salty or greasy for my liking. I end up finishing the whole plate.
The service was okay & the ladies were really nice & kind. We had mix servers so be aware of who you are tipping. Also remember the Gov. takes a lot of tips through tax so please be aware.
Love this restaurant & even though there is a line to get in on busy days the wait is worth it.
God Bless the Owners & past & present employees of this restaurant. We will be coming back.
God Bless you & thank you.

Original Review: Please don't send any negativity or hate towards the staff & anyone else involved. This review is my attempt to report on others & my opinion.
Here is my full opinion on La Banquise. We were 2 people dining. At around 1:00PM. On 08 Dec.
Pros:
A) The food is alright.
B) It has a nice atmosphere.
C) Prices are fairly reasonable.
D) Not a far walk from the Metro & they have some services you can use.
Cons:
A) Service was not the best as the waitress was like pass me your plates. You are suppose to pick them up yourself. Anais is who speaks three languages English French & Spanish was a little rude to us. We feel like she did not want to serve us nor help us after we were done eating.
B) The toilet was flushing by itself. Plumbing problems will be bad later on.
C) T-Rex poutine includes bacon but we did not find it on our plate.
D) The place is too small & if you are a person that needs extra space you will be crammed in there.
E) The employees should be more happy & persistent.
F) Parking may be a challenge to find.
Conclusion:
All in all. It's not my favourite place anymore.
I will only dine in if we have guests or visitors or a group but for me personally.
I will be avoiding this place for dine in & maybe just doing takeout if Alone.View more
After being here for 3 years, I finally tried this place. It wasn't worth it for me to wait in line. The place across the street Ma Poulet Mouillé has better poutine.View more
We had the shoot out poutine & spicy sausage hotdog. The fries weren't anything special, the sauce was oddly thick & extremely salty & it didn't have a lot of cheese curds. There was a lot of meat on the poutine, all of it extremely salty. The spicy sausage hotdog was supposed to have a creamy coleslaw & you can see from the photo that there was hardly anything there. Would not recommend.View more
Always a line up, bring time with you. It's famous but the atmosphere could be better, also very very loud. The food & menu itself is amazing. There is something for everyone to find - not only poutine. They also offer salad & great sides along with kids menu.View more
A must try delicious poutine place in Montreal! I never really liked poutine but this place changed my mind - turns out I just didn't come to Montreal to try the authentic poutine!View more
Bonne endroit pour tester & découvrir la poutine. Portion généreuse & bonne ambiance.
Typique & traditionnel !
Faut y passer !View more
One of the best poutines ive ever had & i am not usually one to have'specialty' poutines. I usually prefer a typical poutine with curds. My hometown in northern ontario has 2 chipstands both ranked top 10 in the world so im well versed in poutinery knowledge & La Banquise''Southwestern' ( i think) poutine with the onion rings & guac was amazing!
Only con of this place is its very small & loud but some people might dig that. Seems like a place people just go in for a quick snack then leave, not hangout for too long. Definitely recommend!View more
Bonne expérience, la poutine est délicieuse & mérite sa réputation.
Le seul bémol empêchant les 5 étoiles est le service qui est assez froidView more
La meilleure poutine de tout Montréal. Je le recommande.View more
La Banquise easily served the best poutine I've ever had in my life-hands down! Everything was absolutely perfect, from the incredible food to the kind & extremely polite staff. Despite the long line & how busy it was, everything moved quickly & efficiently. The service was smooth, the energy was great, & the entire experience was top-notch. Truly one of the best dining experiences I've had-highly recommended!View more
Serveur très sympathique, poutine très bonne mais le responsable de salle un peu stressé & pas très agréable.View more
Huge portions, but I'd like more fries in my poutine to be honest. Didn't eat inside because it was too crowded but enjoyed it nevertheless. Has a very colorful menu & different flavors, so I'll be definitely going back to try more :)View more
Absolutely loved this place, couldn't eat the whole thing, service was great, food was amazing, so many varieties of poutine, such a simple menu & it works!! 10 outta 10 would recommend & definitely will be back!!View more
