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.

Un incontournable de Montréal. La poutine est une des meilleures, tout est bien balancé (ratio sauce, fromage, frites). Le service est rapide & efficace.

Beste Pommes meines Lebens, mit pulled pork. Kleines gemütliches local, nette Bedienungen. Große Auswahl an Getränken.

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...

Un classique de la poutine à Montréal. Plus de variétés que j'ai de cheveux. Un endroit simple mais hyper delicieux. Allez y!

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.

Always a winner & such a good late night spot! Truly saved my life that night!

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.

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.
