The Big Cheese Poutinerie

Love coming here for a midweek lunch date! This place has great options on their menu for a whole swack of different poutine flavours. There are some Gluten-Free options as well and they seem mindful of cross contamination which is nice to see. I enjoyed the Butter Chicken poutine this time around but I definitely look forward to coming back to try some of the others! Parking can be tedious as it is in Kensington but it's not too far off of the Sunnyside train station. Definitely a good recommendation coming from this guy for anyone wanting to try it out!

I like the variety of menu items that provide fun modifications to a classic sort of poutine. The fries, gravy and cheese are all tasty. I like that they have several gravy options as well for vegetarian, gluten-free, and regular eaters. That said, the service is slow for what it is, and the last two times I've been there my order was wrong. The first time I was eating in and caught it, but then had to wait another 10 or so minutes for them to remake it. About a month later I visited again for takeout, got home, and found it was just a basic poutine although I'd ordered the loaded veggie with extra guacamole (it should have had mushrooms, onions, peppers and peas). Very disappointing to have this happen twice in a row out of the three times I've been there. I don't think I'll risk it again.
