Where to find a real restaurant offering poutine in France?

Poutine is a typical Canadian dish made famous by its surprisingly textured cheese. 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 originated in the 1950s. It is a dish of hot fries sprinkled with cheese curds. Everything is topped with a brown sauce, usually meat. The cheese also makes the dish famous. It is in fact the famous couic-couic cheese which 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 cheese curds from Canada. The latter comes from a Canadian dairy. In France, some dairies also produce this good fresh cheese.

The Poutine House

This brand won the award for best Poutine internationally in 2019, 2020 and 2022. And for good reason, it produces its own cheese curds to offer the best taste experience. Since the opening of its first store in 2017, Maison de la Poutine now has 3 establishments, or poutineries. You will find two addresses in Paris, and another in Toulouse.

La Maison de la Poutine recently made a name for itself with its giant poutine. The last one was prepared in Toulouse: it was a free poutine in honor of the Fête nationale du Québec.
The brand also serves a poutine 100% vegetarian, and whose recipe was developed by their chefs: “Erwan Caradec” and “Sébastien Cardinal”. Note that La Maison de la Poutine regularly releases ephemeral recipes, such as the vegetarian Papa Noël poutine with truffle sauce. This is the Boréale, the same that allowed the brand to win the prize for the best poutine internationally in 2022. It is the “Joyeux Anniversaire” in 2019 and the “Trappeur” in 2020 which allow La Maison de la Poutine to win this prize.
