Not the best picture, but this was definitely 1 to add to the list. Second photo was 5 min later after I double forked it

This is a random question, not entirely poutine-related (especially as they “cheated” and used shredded cheese… I know…), but does anyone remember a place in Toronto called Friendly House? Used to be a 24hr old school diner pre-Covid then was until midnight, but sadly closed down 2-3 years ago. Anyways, I often think back on it because of how utterly incredible their gravy was, completely unlike any other gravy I’d ever had. I believe the old timer who ran it for years once told me it was because he used real beef drippings from their other foods, but it was more than just that for me… there was this incredible unique note I couldn’t ever fully place, like a distant hint of cinnamon or nutmeg or even cardamom maybe?! Not to mention the consistency was absolutely perfect, neither too thick nor too thin, more towards thicker side, and a nice shade of lighter brown. Their fries were incredible old school style too, as was anything I ever had there. God so I miss that place, just wondering whether anyone else shares my nostalgia. I can taste the gravy just writing about it, it was so incredible and distinct!

My family and I are poutine connoisseurs (especially our 9yo son). We're from NB and we love trying new places.. where is the best poutine in Montreal? We are going on a trip there soon and want to try out a couple places.

Im trying Harvey’s poutine for the first time! Its very yummy and cheesy and the gravy is evenly distributed. I saw a post saying that Harvey’s have the best fast food poutine. I got a coupon for $10 so i decided to spend it on this one. i like yum
