9 Places To Get Poutine In Calgary If You’re Too Broke To Go To Montreal
You don't need to speak French to understand poutine. Quebec has given us one of the most enjoyable foods we have ever tasted. As if fries, cheese and gravy weren't already delicious on their own, together they are a power trio that is basically the best thing since sliced bread.
However, word on the street is, to get the best poutine, you have to go to Montreal. While I wouldn't dare argue that with a Montrealer, (Not that I could if I even wanted to, the most French I know is what I've learned from the song, "Lady Marmalade") - I think Calgary might be able to satisfy the Poutine FOMO and possibly save you some airfare. Even outside of our annual "Poutine Week."
Here are 9 places to get poutine in YYC if you're like me and too broke to go to Montreal, (and also illiterate when it comes to French/Quebecois)
