We asked you Canadians to tell us where to get the graviest and cheesiest poutine in our great nation.
NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM.
Alas, here are the best places in Canada to stuff your face with the perfect trifecta that is fries, gravy and cheese curds:
1. Belgian Fries — Vancouver, British Columbia
"Belgium Fries in Vancouver has the greatest poutine EVER. The fries are crispy, the gravy is thick, and the curds are massive. It is to die for."

2. Whistle Stop Café — Peterborough, Ontario
"Whistle Stop in Peterborough, Ontario has the largest selection in Canada. Not an exaggeration, it is a confirmed fact. 100+ types and they are all so friggin' good!"
3. Ivan's Restaurant — North Bay, Ontario.
"They don't skimp on the cheese or gravy and they have tons of speciality poutines, from 'Philly Cheese Steak' to 'Stacker' (covered in onion rings). The portions are huge and fairly priced."
4. La Belle Patate — Canmore, Alberta
"It’s a dive bar in the industrial area, and run by a Montreal expat. Best poutine and smoked meat sandwich ever."
5. La Poutine — Edmonton, Alberta
"The owner is from Quebec so it’s about as authentic as you can get in this part of the country. Their Canadian poutine topped with bacon is to die for. Makes for great sober food as well as drunk food. They also have vegan options if you’re into that!"
6. Joe Beeverz Bar & Grill — Brandon, Manitoba
"They have a lot of different and exciting choices for poutines and once made the world’s largest poutine!"
7. Le Smoking BBQ — Montreal, Quebec
"The Ribs poutine at Le Smoking BBQ in Montreal is so delicious."
8. The Wolf and Hound Irish Pub — Vancouver, British Columbia
9. Restaurant Chez Claudette — Montreal, Quebec
"Try the 'Celine.' It's not authentic if it's not a greasy spoon in Quebec. Enjoy with a side of pogos and Blanche de Chambly."
— Laura Huddart, Facebook
10. RIV Chip Stand — Sturgeon Falls, Ontario
"They're loaded with cheese curds! Also have amazing pogos."
— Hannah Martin, Facebook
11. Big Red's Poutine — Maple Ridge, British Columbia
"Jerk Chicken or Montreal Smoked Meat poutine anyone? I'm a traditionalist though, so I go for just the fries, gravy and curds. You can hear them chipping the potatoes by hand in the truck. The curds are local too. Mmmm!"
— Megan Heather, Facebook
12. La Banquise — Montreal, Quebec
"Montreal's La Banquise will always be my #1 (a serious plus-side is that it's open 24hrs)!!"
— Yana Iossel, Facebook.
13. Big T's BBQ — Calgary, Alberta
"The gravy is made from the delicious drippings of the smoker and filled with authentic Southern-style pulled pork or brisket. Technically an 'appie' but worth it as a meal."
14. Pierre's Poutine — Guelph, Ontario

17. Johnny Fresco's Restaurant — Waterloo, Ontario
Johnny Fresco's in Waterloo Ontario has the best poutine you will ever eat! They have everything from a cheese steak poutine, to a chicken parmesan poutine, to just the good ol' classic. Their fries are crispy and their cheese is in curds — The way poutine should be.
