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
La Banquise was a top recommendation for trying the famous Quebec poutine. We went on an early Wednesday evening and thankfully did not see any wait times.nFrom the get go the place had a distinctive style, the yellow exterior looks quite welcoming and the interiors have a life of their own.nWe got the Rachel to share and something to drink. It tasted amazing and I will definitely go back and try more things on the menu soon. They have some good vegetarian options on the too.
La Banquise has the most delicious poutine we've ever tried!nnIt's great that the place is open 24 hours, but it's almost always busy, so we arrived early in the morning for breakfast. The environment was nicely decorated, with a huge window for natural sunlight. The portions were so big we couldn't believe our eyes. The servers were really friendly and welcoming. It gets a bit noisy as more guests start to come in, which was expected.nnWe'll definitely be back if we have a chance to visit Montreal again :
The one and only La Banquise. A place locals don’t frequent much these days. But the experience is oh so fun. Staff is super busy but make a big effort. The poutine is great. Is it the best in the city? Let’s not talk politics on this nice evening. If you’re in town, come. But be hungry. You’ll be happy you did.nnVibe is busy, high energy with loud music. People are happy
Amazing place open 24 hours. They are able to take orders in English/french so don't worry about that. The food was absolutely amazing, tasted incredible and the poutine was hot and fresh made to order. The fries were crispy and delicious. The interior is a great vibe to hang out with friends get wasted and have some great food.
Loved the food, the best poutine i have ever had in my whole life. The place was so great. I really loved it.
