If you’re in need of a quick comfort food fix, it doesn’t get much better than poutine – ideally served from a no-frills roadside stand. But for something a bit more elegant, Montreal fine-dining institution Au Pied de Cochon is famous for its elevated take on Canada’s signature dish. The poutine here still has all the classic hallmarks of the fast food version (perfectly crispy fries, squeaky cheese and rich, dark gravy), but all the flavours are all ramped up to the next level. The classic poutine is delicious enough, but the decadent foie gras version, made with duck fat fries, a decadent duck gravy and buttery foie gras, is out of this world.
