Behind the Dish

Fries, cheese, and gravy—hard to argue with that. Poutine is already the perfect drunk food, late-night food, anytime food. Our take drowns straight-cut fries in Japanese curry, a deep, spiced gravy that clings to every ridge. Cheddar curds hold their shape, giving you that perfect squeak with every bite. A hit of ao nori, Korean chili flakes, and fresh scallions ties it all together. If a Japanese chef found themselves in Montreal after a few too many beers, this is what they’d cook up.
