About us

La Banquise, originally a small ice-cream shop, first opened its doors in May 1968. In fall of the same year, its founder, local fireman Pierre Barsalou, decided to transform the enterprise into a 24-hour snack bar. At the time it specialized in exceptionally good hot-dogs and great fries. Poutine first appeared on the menu at the start of the 80s and originally just two varieties were offered, classic and Italian. However, in response to repeated requests from very satisfied customers, the restaurant’s poutine varieties quickly multiplied. Today we offer no less than 25 different types of poutine. Today, La Banquise remains a family business. Mr. Barsalou’s youngest daughter Annie took over in the 1990s along with her partner Marc Latendresse. Together, they maintain both the tradition of quality and the excellent reputation of the La Banquise Restaurant. In summer 2006, La Banquise underwent major renovations and a much larger dining area was made available. 40 years on, La Banquise is now much more than a simple snack bar or poutine joint. Today it is also a warm, friendly venue where customers can enjoy micro-brewery beers, a complete menu du jour and excellent breakfasts. So here’s to you, our loyal customers, the night owls, the groups of friends, the workers, students, families and more, because all of you have contributed to shaping and enriching the success story that is La Banquise today. Many, many thanks.

Exactly what you want after a winning Montreal soccer game, when you're visiting this town & want to eat at 10pm. I cannot recommend this place more highly. Recommend getting some add-ons to your dish, they're on the next page in the menu ;)View more

Realmente, o MELHOR poutine que já experimentei, e além de uma infinidade de opções, eles ainda adequam de acordo com sua preferência, como fiz pedindo carne, cogumelos e guacamole. DELICIOSO! O atendimento fois extremamente amigável e cortez, e o ambiente é descontraído.View more

Étant de passage à Montréal, en vacances, il était obligé de goûter, la mythique poutine ! On nous a conseillé la Banquise. En arrivant, serveurs très souriants, agréables. Au niveau de la déco, très vintage, un peu décalé mais qui rend le lieu assez chaleureux. Au niveau de la cuisine, quantité très généreuse (nous avons pris une reguliere : une bacon pour mon copain & la Rachel pour moi). Je recommande ce petit restaurant !View more

Service was okay, I had to ask for coffee 3 times before I got it 2 minutes before I left, so I didn't even drink half of it. With that being said, I went for the poutine, which was delicious. Atmosphere was nothing fancy, very casual would recommend a stop if youre in the area & hungry.View more

Overly hyped place. Food was good however the place was overcrowded. Although we tipped the staff he didn't like it & suggest us to tip atleast 15% next time which was very weird experience. Seems like forced us to tip them.View more
