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.

In Montreal for a quick visit & had to stop by & try La Banquise. It was fantastic. From start to finish the service was amazing. The gentleman that seated us was funny & super friendly. The food came out quick & was really delicious. Even the people waiting outside were friendly & chatted as I waited for my wife & kid. All in all, it was a great experience & visit. I'll be back next time I'm in Montreal.View more

I had the La Veggie Reggie poutine, & it was fantastic. The fries were crispy, the gravy was tasty, & the cheese curds were perfect. This poutine is definitely worth trying. It's one of the best I've ever had!View more

The line you see outside this place is for dine-in. Order takeout for a shorter wait. There are nearby picnic tables outside, or you can eat in the park. Dozens of poutine options. We ordered the one with mac & cheese bites on top.View more

Es macht Sinn sich vorher die Stoßzeiten anzuschauen, das haben wir nicht gemacht und es war so voll! Wir haben uns deshalb für Take away entschieden. Service war super! Und die veggie und veganen Poutine waren richtig lecker! Klare EmpfehlungView more

This was the second time we were here. The customer service was bad this time, we tried to customize the poutines. However, the lady who took our order seems very annoyed & rude. Poutines are 5/5 but service is 1/5 this time.View more
