Le Roy Jucep

My wife & I have been making a point of getting outside Montreal to explore what other towns have to offer, & during our search, we came across Roy Jucep the restaurant famously associated with the invention of poutine. Naturally, that made us very curious, especially since we've tried some great poutine spots around Montreal.

Roy Jucep is more than just a poutine spot it's a classic diner serving a variety of food. But for us, we came specifically for the poutine. We went with their signature poutine featuring the famous orange gravy sauce.

The orange gravy was definitely interesting & unique. I honestly don't come across many places offering an poutine sauce with hint of orange, & it has a noticeable sweetness to it. Did I mind it? Not really it was something different & worth trying. Would I personally choose it over a more traditional gravy? Probably not. My wife & I generally prefer a more savoury, rich gravy, which is more up our alley.

The fries & cheese curds themselves were good, but unfortunately, the gravy was the part that didn't quite work for us. It just wasn't the flavour profile we prefer in a poutine.

We also tried their orange juice, since Roy Jucep is known for that as well. It was decent, but for us, it didn't compare to the orange drink at Gibeau Orange Julep. We found it lacked the creamy, fresh taste that makes Gibeau's stand out. Honestly, we even preferred the poutine gravy at Gibeau Orange Julep.

Overall, we're glad we made the trip & got to try a piece of Quebec poutine history. Roy Jucep has been on our list for a while, & now we can officially check it off. The orange gravy was definitely something different, but when it comes to poutine, my wife & I still lean toward a more savoury traditional gravy.

Le service (pas la bouffe) est interminablement long & désintéressé. Portions très généreuses, mais c'est presque ça le problème. La pizza au pepperoni a environ 3/4 de pouce de viande empilée sous une tonne de fromage, ce qui fait que c'est flasque & dégoutant. Tu veux un peux de pepperoni croustillant! La poutine... Fourchette d'or 2022. C'est en mangeant au Jucep qu'on se demande pas pourquoi Drummond se vante de l'avoir inventé. Faut plutôt s'arrêter à Victo pour se souvenir de la vérité. Aucun plaisir, même pas manger la moitié des plats. Je peux pas croire que j'ai choisi Jucep a la place de PizzaHut...
