    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

    "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!"

    Facebook: rivchipstand

    12. La Banquise — Montreal, Quebec
