text: Prosn A menu that offers a variety of poutines catering to all tastes My favourite is by far the Kamikaze merguez sausage and hot peppersn Do not overlook the other items on the menu They are also pretty good if you are looking for more regular cassecroufbte faren Laidback and causal atmosphere suitable for families couples and groups of friends of all agesn There is a plastic tree in the middle of the dining arean Open h tastes better when you are drunkn Small patio in the back is nice in the summernnConsn Has become an overrated tourist trap over the years but still somehow managed to maintain some of it is initial charmn The Line not worth the wait especially in the freezing cold there are tons of other greasy spoon options in a km radius n The poutine itself is actually not that good I have had better gravy elsewhere and the fries are too greasy not crispy enough for my likingnnOverall visiting La Banquise is a part of the Montreal experience I like to indulge in from time to skip but the line is just not worth the wait
