Tria Restaurant in North Oaks has the best poutine. Hand cut fries and the option to add Foie Gras. It's not on the menu, all you have to do is ask!

Just saw in this week's City Pages that a place called The Ugly Mug in dt Mpls has poutine. Made with white cheese curds from Ellsworth Creamery.

Prairie ale house has it

Otay. I'll bite. What IS poutine?

[The Dairy Queen]

Fries with cheese curds and gravy, originally a specialty of rural Quebec. Really delicious, but not health food.

Thanks!

Like I give a rat'z south end for healthful. Sounds TO DIE for. I must re-read all posts and go find this stuff. Making me drool.

Then you are in for a treat. The most wickedly decadent poutine I've ever had was topped with foie gras, but honestly, I like it better with just the traditional elements.

Not actually poutine, but if you are at Ikea for food you can get the gravy (which is vegetarian) on the fries and it is very good. A pleasant surprise.

The Triple Rock....which is also the answer to the Mac and Cheese thread too.

The TR's is $7.50 for a skinny fries, clumps of white cheese and salty-but-not-too-salty good gravy.

And just a note, Wednesday offers free bacon.

Haute Dish. We enjoyed it last week. It isn't the classic poutine but very tasty.

[Seige]

I've had the Haute Dish version, which I liked a lot - thought the cheese diggler could have been a bit better though.

The Duplex version is also quite good, but I like the gravy from Haute Dish more. If I could have combined the gravy from Haute Dish and the cheese from Duplex it'd be perfection!

I tried it at the MOA R-Burger place. I thought it was a bit soggy there, and was a little disappointed but it was still good. So you can try their poutine before eating one of their awesome burgers. Otherwise, I'll likely give it another try elsewhere.

[The Dairy Queen]

Sorry, I'm blanking on this one, but what is the MOA R-Burger place?

It's a burger-oriented bar attached to the comedy club on the 4th level, east side of the Mall of America. I haven't found it that noteworthy, unless you are posting to find higher-priced burgers.

Wow. Everything about that sounds awful.

[njk]

Duplex.

[Foureyes137]

Harry's used to have it.

Haute Dish had it last time we were there, but it was non-traditional.

[kevin47]

The Strip Club version is good, but is no longer on the menu. You might ask when they'll have it back.
