When it comes to poutine, Quebec's most prized food, there's no denying just how satisfying this delish meal is, amirite? — I mean there's a whole Poutine Week festival dedicated to the dish.

From the French fries, cheese curds, all the way down to the gravy, it's pure perfection, but what if we told you there's one poutine out there that reigns supreme? Well, there is.

If you took one look at this title and thought, 'Seriously? Deep fried pickles? Ew', then first of all, we can't be friends. Second of all, trust me, you have no idea what you're missing. Forget mozzarella sticks or nachos, deep fried pickles are the new up-and-coming appetizer.

In a city with tons of smoked meat restaurants, delis, and burger joints, good quality pickles aren't hard to come by in Montreal. And when those pickles are deep fried in a savoury batter? Well, that's nothing short of culinary excellence - and no, not because it's fancy, but because it's flavourful beyond belief.

Here in Montreal, poutine is no joke. We don’t waste our time with box made gravy and limp French fries. When we eat poutine, it better be on point. We’re talking fresh cut fries, succulent cheese curds and flavorful homemade gravy. We expect nothing less than that. Generally we also amp up our poutine with some complimentary toppings and side dishes tailored to our refined French fry palette.

Poutineville is migrating to Toronto, and the renowned Montreal resto-chain is bringing along some fancy-ass poutine creations, including a grilled lamb and brie poutine. We're just left wondering, why the hell does Toronto get a grilled lamb chop poutine and we dont?

Set to open in later in July, the Toronto version of Poutineville is trying to go for a ritzy vibe, branching off from the simple diner atmosphere we know in Montreal. To go along with the higher-end poutine focus, the resto will offer some pretty swanky toppings and concoctions.

Though Montreal is filled with delicious spreads, guacamole has always been one of our favourites. Though avocado always forms the basis of the dish, from there it's up to the chef to add the just the right ratio of extra ingredients for a damn fine guac. While not many have acheived guacamole perfection, a select few in the city can boast having reached it. Here's Montreal's Best Guacamole.

Putting the naming controversy (Tso/Tao) aside, let's rap about some really good chicken. General Tso chicken is a North American Chinese food favorite, and has been for over half a century. The famous recipe can be broken down into components. There's the sauce: soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sugar, cornstarch, dried red chile peppers (whole), garlic, and MSG. The batter: egg, cornstarch. And there's the dish: broccoli, chicken (cubed). All this is prepared in a professional fryer or, alternatively, skillfully in a wok. The following is an unranked list of some of the best restaurants serving the General's chicken in Montreal. Please send us your suggestions for places we've missed!
