It’s amazing. Wish we had a Smoke’s here in Belgium.
So its from quebec. Its fries, brown gravy, cheese…and….cheese curds? I cant find a dutch word for it but in french its Fromage en grains.
I am very intrested in this…
I actually tried it several times and…liked it!

We had some in Canada. Aside from this standard version , you have several other toppings you can choose from.
We had ours in La banquise at montreal.
It was really Tasty. But a really heavy dish. Couldn’t eat for the rest of the day. Still, no regrets
I had it once. Didn’t like it much. Fries were super soaked and soft.
Have to try it a second time.
I’ve had it multiple times in Canada in various places. Some places it’s great, others it sucks, just like over here some frituren suck and others are great, I guess 🙂
You need to eat it as soon as you get it, or else the potatoes can get soggy.
I raise you:
– patatje oorlog
– friet stoofvlees
– Julienke
​
All rank above poutine in my eyes, but a lot depends on the care and selection of ingredients as with all other food 😛
No to Poutine. Slava Ukraini!
“Heresy !” I shout as I stuff my mouth full from a bakske julieneke
Edit : sorry , forgot to blame de sossen ! Tis al de schuld van de sossn !
You can get it at Ellis burger here in Belgium it’s pretty good
I feel like most people aside Italians aren’t very “purist” about their cuisine.
Most Belgians already eat some bastardised dish with fries such as Kapsalon.
Had some yesterday et the Food Festival at Mons. The frites were done Belgian Style with the classic Canadian topping and it was very good! Surprisingly lighter than expected ! The cheese is like a dryer mozzarella and bit less flavourful and the sauce like a light brown gravy.
I have a Belgian wife and I’ve eaten fries all over Belgium from many different places and frietkot’s too. Three years ago, we took a vacation to Montreal. I had to try some poutine. I found a place that had good reviews and ordered…I was absolutely HOOKED on the taste and texture. Is it BETTER than Belgian fries…that I can’t say because it’s different not better or worse. I had fries once at Frituur Paula that to this day, were the best fries I’ve ever had…but like beauty, it’s subjective.
It’s worth it for sure. Ate it in the shadiest looking diner in Montreal but it was great.
Looks like something we’d call ‘bucht’
Bro, I’m going to try it in La Luck in Brussels. Will let you know if it’s good.
It’s delicious
I wanted to make it at home but I don’t know where I could get cheese curds since it isn’t just normal cheese
Poutine is amazing, refusal of this is just denying the fact. spoiler alert we don’t own a copyright on foods with fries as a main ingredient. as long as it’s made well I see no reason to call for heresy
Superlekker!
I had it in Quebec and Montreal. Their fries were average but the combo is delicious.
They prounounce it Pout’sine. It would be even better with Stoflees/ sauce carbonnades and maybe super fresh mozarella cheese.
There was a restaurant that would sell Poutsine in BXL. It was shit.
Their bigger one was a size of a small fry in any frituur. By the end te mostly sold cold fries drenched in questionnable brown sauce via uberEats and Deliveroo.
No wonder people are not really interested. Once it appears in a snack, if it’s tasty, you can count the days before they ruin it.
Too heavy but I love it
I lived in Montreal for a couple of months and these are delicious! We should also serve them, much better than stoofvleessaus!
It’s delicious !!
If you passing by Mettet (between Namur and Charleroi) there is a fritkot (La friterie du Circuit) who sell poutine and it’s quit good.
Canadian here – it’s awesome when done right, and you Belgians have SO much potential to do it right.
Ingredients:
1. Fritjes. Yours are so much better than ours, you’re already way ahead here.
2. A good gravy. Some places like it light-brown (like your pic), but honestly you already have this available too – carbonnade. You guys already serve Flemish carbonnade with a side of frites…..just pile them on top of each other (yes, with the meat). Plain/original poutine is gravy-only, but the best ones you’ll find add some kind of meat on top (brisket, pulled pork, slow-cooked rib meat, etc). With all the Belgian-beer-based gravies you have, your options are endless.
3. The cheddar cheese curds. This is the tricky one. It’s a VERY specific type of cheese product (it’s actually a by-product of making cheddar cheese), and it makes all the difference. I saw someone on here mention they ate poutine with babybell cheese on it??? Wth??? Somewhere on my home computer I have the info for a company in France that ships cheese curds to Belgium, so it’s possible to get. You’re looking for something like this: [some UK Cheddar Cheese Curds](https://batchfarmcheesemakers.co.uk/product/squeaky-cheese-curd/).
Also, there’s a Canadian “booth” that is at the Brussels Christmas Market every year, and they sell poutine there (with cheese curds brought over with them from Canada).
Pretty nice, I even trie an Indian version in Quebec City.
It’s awesome! Ate it at Vancouver after a couple of beers.
As a belgian who tried it in canada, it’s a delicacy. Don’t look up another canadian special called the “tim hortons belgian waffle” tho. You will be crying inside for the next week
Where did you get this sorry excuse for a poutine? Even a Quebecer wouldn’t eat that! This is a proper poutine: https://i.imgur.com/72IE4An.png

I love it, it combines my love of fries, gravy and cheese. And i like the sound of the Quebec French
I doubt you can get actual cheese curds in Belgium which is what makes it so u unique to Quebec. Have a Quebecois colleague who told me he hasn’t found good poutine outside his province
Hans….
I’ve been to Canada and for the 14 days I went there I literally ate 14 or more (sometimes twice a day). Poutine’s really amazing and also one of the ultimate ‘stoner foods’.
