Market 707’s resident poutinerie has been making killer cheese curds for years. Owner Marc Perraut uses onion-based gravy from Quebec and cheddar cheese curds. Those crispy fries are truly the perfect vehicle for toppings like Schwartz's deli smoked meat, Brussel's sprouts and hot dog slices.

Look out for the bright red plaid signage and the bespectacled face of founder Ryan Smolkin and you've found a Smoke's franchise. Numerous locations across the city serve the same chicken-based gravy (the secret's in the spices) and eclectic toppings like Butter Chicken and Canadian Pizza.

The real focus is the smash burgers but this popular burger chain also makes some exceptional poutine. Hold your cravings over with a satisfying  portion of chunky fries with squeaky Ontario-made cheese curds covered in tasty homemade gravy. The simpicity is key.

Yonge and St. Clair's destination for drippy and deluxe burgers serves equally decadent poutine with Quebec cheese curds and beef gravy. There'se also the over-the-top $16 option with white truffle oil, kefalotyri cheese and white truffle mayo. 

This general store-style pit stop in Leslieville serves up extra crispy hand cut fries loaded with darky gravy, made with the jus from their smoker, and white Ontario cheese curds. Beef brisket, applewood-smoked pulled pork—smoked meat is kind of their thing so you'd be remiss not to get some on your fries.

We all know fish and chip joints make some of the best fries in the game, and this St. Clair West restaurant is no exception. Generously-sized chips fried in beef drippings with curds and beef gravy make an indulgent side to golden fried filets of haddock and pickerel. 

Etobicoke’s go-to bar and grill has the perfect poutine assembled with Yukon Gold fries, beef gravy and Quebec cheese curds. You can even get a fried egg on top. Meaty additions include pulled pork, 12-hour brisket, smoked bacon.

Believe it or not, this poutinerie at Dufferin and Wilson makes normal-coloured poutine and it's pretty damn good. Their Unicorn Poutine (which looks like a rainbow exploded over fries) may not suit everyone but regular orders include Quebec curds and gravy with drool-worthy toppings like Mac & Cheese or chicken shawarma. 

The name says it all. John Street’s destination for buns and all things fried serves their poutine with handcut fries. Cheese curds come from Franco-Ontarian fromagerie St-Albert and everything’s doused in their veggie-based gravy.
