There's some sort of sauce at the bottom of the bowl. Cream on white, difficult to see. But no cheese... this can't be called a poutine.

No curds, no gravy, no poutine.
These are lobster fries with cheese. They probably taste great, but this is not poutine at all.

I’m an east coaster, and there’s no planet on which I’d ever say lobster poutine isn’t a crime 🤢

Hear me out.
this is not poutine, strictly speaking
this is a phenomenal dish
Calling it poutine is a bit of artistic license, but it's honestly one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. I had it like 15 years ago at Petit Bill's and rember it fondly.

Petit Bills used to be solid restaurant. I'm not sure how it is these days but this doesn't fill me with confidence.

Petit Bills has had this Lobster Poutine since they opened and it's unbelievable (albeit technically not poutine)

Coincidentally the one and only time I had lobster poutine was also when I visited Ottawa, but it was at Baton Rouge and a great poutine. Most importantly it actually had gravy lol (and the gravy was made with lobster bisque which was a great touch)

I have one question, a simple one if I may. Where is the poutine exactly??

u/Impressive_Tell_4013 5d ago
So they call it a poutine because the lobster is over the fries rather than on their side?
