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.

Une chose est sûre: on ne sort pas de là le ventre vide, les portions étant très généreuses. J'ai raffolé de la poutine Kamikaze & de la mexicaine, à conseiller à ceux qui aiment ça très épicé! Pour les autres, il y a un menu hyper varié, un choix intéressant d'aliments de toutes sortes à ajouter dans sa poutine. Assez abordable. Pour tous les goûts! :)

Ma dernière visite m'a bien déçue... Avant cela, ça devait faire 1-2 ans que je n'y étais pas retournée & à ma dernière visite donc, j'apprends qu'il faut désormais payer l'extra-sauce : pour une louche de sauce parmi les milliers que vous servez par jour, pardon? (Il faut dire qu'on ne me l'avait jamais chargée à la Banquise auparavant - je suis malheureusement du type "sauce!" - & venant d'un resto de poutine aussi célèbre, j'ai trouvé ça ordinaire de charger aussi cher une louche de sauce.)
Mais oui, resto classique & incontournable.

I always love going to La Banquise for their huge choice of poutines, lunch, dinner or after a night out.... lol

I have tried the many of the different poutines & my favorite have to to be the Taquise, (guacamole, sour cream adn tomatoes) if I need some meat I get the L'Abrevoir (sliced pogos :)) or the Mart (Hot dogs, bacon & mushrrom)

Service is very good this being that it's a constant rush sometimes.

If you are going there between 3-4 am be ready to wait, it looks like the outside of a Club with a line up & bouncers.... You also see your regulars walk in :( .... just like some clubs LOL
