The Best Poutine in Toronto

The best poutine in Toronto is our humble take on perhaps the greatest Quebecois invention. However, being outside Quebec borders means we're free to do pretty much whatever we want with this dish that's synonymous with being Canadian, as long as fries, gravy and cheese are involved somehow. 

Here's the best poutine in Toronto.

5 - Leslieville Pumps

This general-store-style pit stop at Queen and Carlaw serves up poutine loaded with gravy, jus made in a smoker, white and orange Ontario cheese curds, and if you wish, your choice of pulled pork, brisket, brisket chili or baked beans.
9 - The Enchanted Poutinerie

Love it or hate it, unicorn poutine is here to stay at this restaurant near Dufferin and Wilson. The whole restaurant is decked out in psychedelic decor, and they also serve outrageous lobster poutine and pizza poutine here.
6 - Smoke's Poutinerie Adelaide

Spot numerous locations of this place in Toronto by their bright red plaid signage. Poutines here come in a wide array from butter chicken to veggie to triple pork, and they also do seasonal specials.
7 - Holy Chuck Burgers

At Yonge and St. Clair, you can find a poutine topped with seared Quebec foie gras, Quebec cheese curds and Italian white truffle oil for $35 at this renowned burger joint.
11 - The 6 Burger Bar

This Scarborough joint near Birchmount and Eglinton tops their poutine with everything from lobster to chicken tenders, or opt for a very Canadian version top with mac n' cheese, peameal bacon and strip bacon.
3 - Nom Nom Nom Poutine

This little shack pumping out the city's best poutine calls Market 707 home. It's run by a Montrealer who makes his own cheese curds, so you know smoked meat, wiener and brussel sprout poutines are going to taste amazing. There are also lots of halal and vegetarian options.
8 - Sea Witch Fish and Chips

St. Clair West has this fish and chips spot that not only fries up haddock and pickerel, but also potatoes for an epic poutine.
10 - SumiLicious

This Scarborough deli is home to smoked meat poutine that will blow your mind. Complement it with a smoked meat sandwich if you're hungrier than you've ever been.
4 - Poutini's House of Poutine

The late Anthony Bourdain even endorsed this poutine found on West Queen West until the wee hours of the morning. Served in iconic cups, it comes topped with BBQ pork or bacon, or you can go for a vegetarian version. Don't forget to garnish with provided sriracha.
