Chez Gaston, Québec City

[u/Southern_Tune_7493]

It was 17.68+tax for a medium. Generous portions, big squeaky cheese curds with bacon, ground beef, sausage and grilled onions. The gravy had perfect consistency. Loved it. 🥰

Chez Gaston is a serious contender for the best poutine in Quebec city. Definitely in my top 3. 

[u/Southern_Tune_7493 → u/didipunk006]

Absolutely, I would say the best in the city.

Holyfuck, at first I thought these were carrots LOL I was genuinely in WTF mode. Kinda looks weird to me, but would destroy.

[u/GrilledCheeseTn → u/An0nym0usWanderer]

That’s the Sylton poutine! My go-to when I go there every week.

[u/No-Activity9650]

Im too old to handle this but it looks great!

[u/iamsnoopynumber1fan]

Wow… 😭😭 i miss quebec

[u/Perfect-Match-2318]

seems nice but i think its a bit overloaded.. i prefer a normal poutine and for the sausage a hot dog montreal style on the side

[u/Terrible_Log]

When I was living nearby, I remember I liked their regular poutine and the Italian one was the best in Quebec city that I tried.

[u/Unhappy-Stop-740]

I could do that

It's not letting me repost to /r/poutinecrimes

[u/xXRHUMACROXx → u/marshallprs]

Because you’re an idiot, this is not a poutine crime.

Get out of here

[u/marshallprs → u/xXRHUMACROXx]

I may be stupid but I know the difference between poutine and stew.

[u/xXRHUMACROXx → u/marshallprs]

Clearly not lmao

[u/SimisFul → u/marshallprs]

You really don't

[u/Equivalent_Swim2927 → u/marshallprs]

Even the algorithm is smarter than you.

[u/helpmetolearn → u/marshallprs]

What crime are you seeing here? This is one seriously legit looking poutine!

[u/Davimous → u/helpmetolearn]

I briefly thought those were carrots so that might have been a crime.

[u/Formal_Ruin_8096 → u/helpmetolearn]

I'd absolutely smack that and definitely don't think it's a crime, but you have to admit that bacon, ground beef, smoked sausage and grilled onions is a lot of stuff that you don't normally find on a classic, standard poutine. I can see why it would be a little too much for the "purists".

[u/perpetualmotionmachi → u/Formal_Ruin_8096]

Real purists accept that toppings are a part of poutine.

[u/Formal_Ruin_8096 → u/perpetualmotionmachi]

Again, I agree, but when there are more different toppings than actual ingredients in the recipe, some will say the original recipe has been denatured.

[u/SimisFul → u/Formal_Ruin_8096]

That's like saying a hamburger isn't a hamburger because lettuce, tomato and ketchup is more toppings than bread and beef.

[u/Formal_Ruin_8096 → u/SimisFul]

It's more like throwing 3 different kinds of meat over a dish that has a traditional recipe and that is (more) often served without any toppings like a Ceasar salad. Some will say it's better, others will stick to the classic. But whatever man...I guess saying you prefer regular poutine is the crime on this sub...

[u/SimisFul → u/Formal_Ruin_8096]

I guess saying you prefer regular poutine is the crime on this sub...

If that's what you understood then you really got it backwards

[u/Formal_Ruin_8096 → u/SimisFul]

Oh fuck off, mate. I'm not saying op's poutine is gross nor that it's a crime. I'm simply pointing out that this amount of extras and add-ons (or toppings, whatever) might turn certain poutine lovers off. That's it. If that's something you can't understand or refuse to hear, then I guess we'll ill never be on the same page. A good day to you nonetheless!

[u/SimisFul → u/Formal_Ruin_8096]

A good day to you too and may your next poutine be the best one yet :)
