Story

«Notre petite histoire...

«La Banquise, une petite crémerie à ses débuts, a vu le jour en mai 1968. Son fondateur, Pierre Barsalou, un pompier du quartier, transforma celle-ci en casse-croûte ouvert 24H dès l’automne 1968. On pouvait alors y déguster d’excellents hot-dogs et des frites succulentes.

«La poutine fit son apparition au début des années 80, avec la poutine classique et l’italienne. Devant le succès populaire, et à la demande répétée de plusieurs clients, les choix de poutines se multiplient. On compte maintenant pas moins de 25 poutines différentes.

«La Banquise est encore aujourd’hui une entreprise familiale. La fille cadette de M. Barsalou, Annie, a pris la relève dans les années 90, en compagnie de Marc Latendresse, son conjoint. Ils continuent ensemble de perpétuer la tradition de qualité et la renommée du Restaurant La Banquise.

«À l’été 2006, La Banquise fait d’importantes rénovations et agrandi considérablement sa salle à manger. Une quarantaine d’années plus tard, La Banquise est devenu bien plus qu’un simple casse-croûte ou une «place à poutine». Il s’agit également d’un endroit convivial et chaleureux où l’on peut déguster des bières de micro-brasserie, un menu du jour complet ainsi que d’excellents déjeuners.

«Merci beaucoup à notre fidèle clientèle, les oiseaux de nuit, les groupes d’amis, en passant par les travailleurs, les étudiants, les petites familles, etc... d’avoir façonné à votre image, l’histoire de La Banquise et d’en avoir fait le succès actuel.


Annie & Marc, propriétaires.»

Reviews
A delicious spot to try traditional Montreal poutine. We waited in line for about 30 minutes to get in, though takeout is usually much faster. We also ordered the chicken sandwich, which was amazing. The service was top-notch. It’s not fancy or anything—it’s more of a fast-food-style place, but totally worth it.
Delicious poutine, fantastic flavor combinations. The portions are giant, keep that in mind when ordering. The surprise this time was the merguez hot dog. It was out of this world, honestly the best thing we had there. Sure, it’s busy and noisy, the food is heavy and greasy, but you already know that. Service was excellent both times we were there. Well worth a stop.
It’s a cozy and lively spot to hang out with friends. Though it’s quite noisy and bustling, it has a fun, energetic vibe that’s perfect for chilling. The only drawback was that the bacon or mushrooms were a bit scarce in the portion! However, the 24/7 opening hours are a major advantage, making it a great option any time of day or night!
Two of us came for dinner on a weekday and was waiting in line for ~20-30min. My first time had poutine and it tastes very good other than the gravy was a bit too salty. Food was definitely in large portion. Had a lot of toppings to choose from, and the service was nice and fast as well. Spaces in between the seats was very limited and crowded.
Excellent poutine! They have a variety of toppings. I was expecting more fries than toppings, but it was the opposite! I had the pulled pork with bacon and apples. It was loaded with gravy and curds throughout the dish. Absolutely delicious!
