Where to find a real restaurant offering poutine in France?

Poutine is a typical Canadian dish made famous by its cheese with an amazing texture. Once you taste it, you often want to eat it. But where to find a good poutine in France? We give you our best addresses!

What is Poutine?

Poutine is a Quebec recipe that was created in the 1950s. It is a dish of hot fries sprinkled with cheese curds. The whole thing is topped with a brown sauce, most often with meat. The cheese also makes the dish famous. It is in fact the famous squeaky cheese that squeaks under the tooth. To make a good poutine, we use fresh cheese.
Most Canadian restaurants in France - if not all - serve this traditional dish. However, to be sure to eat an authentic poutine, we prefer establishments that use Canadian cheese curds. The latter comes from a Canadian dairy. In France, some dairies also produce this good fresh cheese.
