My sister lives in Montreal, so I make the trip from NYC to see her a few times a year. \n\nWe've been to Cafe Local for dinner and drinks on at least two prior occasions, and enjoyed both, but my most recent trip prompted me to write a review. Coming from NYC and being something of a burger fanatic, I like to think I know good restaurant food -- burgers, fries, salads. Having been raised in Canada, I like to think I know good poutine. Hell yes, I do.\n\nCafe Local satisfied my NYC craving for top-notch restaurant cuisine, while fulfilling my Canadian itch for poutine that only a trip north can deliver. We shared a tasty salad, my burger was awesome, and poutine (comes in a huge bucket, we got ours with sweet potato fries) was out of this world. To top it off, the service was truly charming and a nice wine list as well.\n\nThis place is a gem. Look forward to being back there again on my next northern quest.
