One thing you need to know about eating poutine in Montreal: eat it on the spot. It’s all about the crispy fries, the salty richness of the gravy and that signature squeaky texture of the cheese curds. This isn’t something you take to-go. This isn’t just food, and it’s not just a meal. You don’t eat poutine for how it looks or to impress anyone. You eat it because it’s simple, warm and exactly what you need in that moment. And somehow, it stay with you long after the last bite.
