In search of poutine

[zach272]

I have a fierce craving for good poutine. Where can I find some in Boston/Cambridge/etc.? (Is there anywhere other than All Star? (the only metro Boston option I can find in previous threads) Must be accessible by T.

Mmmmm, Duckfat.

Try this (Harvest):

Have you had it there recently? That article is a little old, and their website doesn't list poutine... Oh, I hope they have it! I work so close by!!

There is a family type restaurant in Nashua, NH that serves it; I found out about it on this board and went. Not too bad; but it did the trick until I could make it back to Montreal. I can't remember the name, but if you google poutine and Nashua, NH it might come up.

If I recall correctly, it was removed from the menu at the Harvest about the time the current chef arrived. I was hoping they would offer it again if they received a lot of requests, but perhaps I was kidding myself. The good news is that The All Star Sandwich Bar still serves it.

Sorry, I have not.

Townsend's in Hyde Park has a decent version at the bar - sharp cheddar rather than cheese curds, though.

agreed, love Townsends version. If you're looking for authentic this isn't it, but it's a great interpretation.

All Star Sandwich in Inman square serves a version. It's not bad, but the fries aren't crispy enough for my taste.

The Beehive used to offer it as a $10 side dish; not sure if they do any more.

I was there a little while ago, and poutine was still on the menu. It was fabulous- different than other poutine because the fries are so flat and thin, but so good!

[MC Slim JB]

Sounds like the same "frites" that they serve with their burger. I have to say I don't care for them; they remind me more of kettle-cooked potato chips than french fries, too thin and crisp, no starchy interior at all.

See if you can hitch a ride to Montréal Fries on Route 106 in West Bridgewater. It's the only source of authentic poutine in the area.

The poutine at Montreal Fries is pretty close to authentic but it lacks the rich flavored gravy that you get when you're within Montreal Proper. I was disappointed on when I tried it.
