You can find poutine everywhere in Quebec, but did you know that you can also find excellent poutine in Brussels? Over the years, poutine has gained considerable popularity, reappropriated by young Canadians and then developed throughout the world, until it found its way onto the presidential table at the White House! And now, Bruxelles Secrète has unearthed the best poutine addresses in the capital. So hurry up and take your taste buds on a trip to Quebec!
Where can you find the best poutines in Brussels?
1. Les Super Filles du Tram
Les Super Filles du Tram is one of the capital’s undisputed poutine temples. And with good reason! Behind the creation of the establishment is a Quebecoise, Andréanne Marcil, who maintains her poutine recipes in the purest tradition. You’ll find the classic poutine (gravy, cheese curds), but also the poutine Romuald, with pulled pork, or the Monique, with bacon… in maple syrup! Mmm!
📍Address: Rue Lesbroussart 22, 1050 Ixelles
2. La Luck
As well as being a great poutine spot, La Luck is the ideal place to enjoy a drink, while playing a board game with your mates ! The menu features creative cocktails, draught beers and wines. As for poutines, you can choose between the classic (skouik skouik cheese, gravy) and the vegan (veggie cheese, vegetable broth with soy sauce, vinegar and smoked paprika).
📍 Address: Rue Washington 74, 1050 Ixelles
3. Ellis Gourmet Burger
At Ellis Gourmet Burger, poutine is served with a delicious burger! You’ll find it in all its glory, that is to say… Québec-style, with crispy fries, cheese curds and, as an extra, a local specialty: green onions. To prolong the made-in-America experience, opt for onion rings or their generous coleslaw!
📍 Three addresses in Brussels: Place Sainte-Catherine 4, Place Jourdan 20 and Place Eugène Flagey 13
4. Tapas y Más
At Tapas y Más, just a stone’s throw from the Bois de la Cambre, poutine is served tapas-style! This restaurant offers a tempting menu of tapas from all over the world. In small ramekins (and at very low prices), you can pretend you’re on the edge of Quebec without even leaving Brussels…
📍 Address: Chaussée de Boondael 372, 1050 Ixelles
5. Western Burger
At Western Burger, poutine is served on a real wooden board! You’ll love this gourmet presentation (and melt-in-your-mouth recipe)! With endless variations(spicy, classic, meatless, with chicken or sausage), all you have to do is choose!
