Found Le Grand Comptoir through Yelp. I walked far far distances to dine here because of the reviews. haha\n\nWe ordered a half pitcher of sangria, the braised steak and the poutine. It was my first time having poutine duing this year's visit to Montreal so I was super excited.\n\nWith the meals, we got some sort of soup along with sliced baguette and butter. When our entree came, it looked great. The poutine however, was not as I remembered it from last year. The fries were thin, there was gravy but then just shredded Swiss cheese. I thought.....Hmm maybe it's just because its a different restaurant that I went to. It was a big portion, so I couldn't finish it.\n\nService was wonderful. It was this lady who was very attentive and always had a smile on her face.\n\nA tip I received: Later that evening, I went to a bar and the bartender told me to never go to a French joint for poutine and to get it some place else. So hint hint, go someplace else if you want the cheese curds with thick slices of potatoes.
