Smoke's Poutinerie - Halifax

I heard how good poutine is....I am more of a french fry purist...I didnt like my fries wet and soggy. It was interesting to try and glad I did, its what you do in Canada! The fries were good, and curds and gravy were good. Soggy wet fries are not my thing. It was a bit more like carnival food. Definitely try it when you are here or if you like the idea of fries covered in gravy. It was good, just not my thing.

Oof. I'm sure the uninitiated might enjoy it but this is not good poutine. Almost any other option on the waterfront is better.

While in Halifax, I had to try a poutine. I went to the location along the harbor, but there are other locations in the city. You get alot of food, I couldn't eat it all. It's worth trying it if you go.

Stopped by the Smoke’s Poutinerie waterfront location in Halifax, NS off of a cruise ship. Quick, friendly service. I got the standard poutine and wife got it with onions. Very good and a generous serving. There are some tables there to accommodate several eateries. There is another seating area over by the water. Wish we could get this food closer to home in Illinois, USA.

Traditional Poutine! Really very good, fries and very hot sauce with a good amount of cheese that makes it squik-squick.
