An emblematic dish of Canadian cuisine, poutine first gained popularity in Quebec in the 1950s. Usually consisting of crispy French fries, cheese curds and a thick brown gravy made from beef broth and flour, poutine has since become popular in other parts of Canada as well as around the world, with specialized poutine restaurants opening in many cities around the world, including New York, London and of course Paris!
As comforting as it is simple, poutine is now available in a variety of recipes based on minced meat, chicken, bacon or even tofu, for vegetarians and vegans. Most of the time affordable, poutine is a dish accessible to all budgets and offers the possibility of eating copiously with less taste.
In Paris, many restaurants and bars feature poutine on their menus, or even specialize in it. Whether you prefer it traditional or with a personal touch, it's hard to resist this unique and tasty combination of fries, cheese and gravy.
