added hotdogs and fries to its menu and extended its opening hours to a full 24. It was in the 80\u2019s that they started serving poutine, with just 2 varieties to choose from. Today, there are over 30 poutine varieties on the menu and it has become a gold standard for \u201creal\u201d poutine. Although who truly serves the best poutine in the city is a favourite and ongoing debate among Montrealers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_half-6126cab7d8fab8d08143dd2dacdf673c\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_half-6126cab7d8fab8d08143dd2dacdf673c{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_half-6126cab7d8fab8d08143dd2dacdf673c av_one_half  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-2de302bf1aa3cf4c9157dbe6f50ac7eb '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF;

We can debate the best type of fries, the perfect gravy &#8211; there\u2019s no debate on the cheese; it\u2019s curds or go home &#8211; how long a poutine should sit for ideal cheese melting and gravy absorption\u2026 but we all know poutine is not a \u201cgood\u201d food. It\u2019s a food you get a mad craving for, scarf down with abandon, usually burn your tongue on, feel horribly bloated from afterwards, and have zero regrets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But we love it.

For lack of a better term, Banquise\u2019s menu is \u201cgourmet casse-croute\u201d. There is a nice selection of burgers from traditional, to veggie, to burgers topped with goat cheese and apples, a pulled pork burger, the Banquise burger with fried onions and mushrooms and more. You can get a spicy sausage hotdog, jalapeno poppers, spaghetti with meat sauce (if you\u2019re a Quebecer, this won\u2019t surprise you as a menu item), a hot chicken sandwich and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><\/div>\r\n\r\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_half-0aa7055fe62c3622faec82866afbaeb2\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_half-0aa7055fe62c3622faec82866afbaeb2{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_half-0aa7055fe62c3622faec82866afbaeb2 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-17  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_hr  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-2de302bf1aa3cf4c9157dbe6f50ac7eb '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF;
