Poutine, with all its cheesy, carby, gravy-drowned sloppiness, isn't a dish we associate with fine dining.
The French-Canadian spin on loaded fries has spent the 60 or so years since its invention as a hangover cure and hockey rink snack.
But the unassuming street food has grown in stature in recent years, both as a totem of its native Quebec and as a new comfort food favorite of the international culinary scene.
If you’re in Hamilton craving even more fries and comfort food, we’ve got you covered!
The Best Poutine in Hamilton
The crab poutine at the Ship is absolutely incredible! My partner and I had been wanting to visit this place for a while due to its great reviews, and we were not disappointed.
The food and drinks arrived quickly and were delicious - the poutine was the meal's highlight, and I loved it! The flavors were unique, and the atmosphere was great.

The poutine at HAMBRGR was truly amazing! The Hot/White Sauce and pickled onions were a perfect combination of flavors that brought the dish together.
The HamOnt burger and onion rings were also delicious, made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The onion rings were awe-inspiring; they were the size of my hand!
My partner and I had a great time at this restaurant and are looking forward to returning to try more of the menu. It's definitely our new go-to spot for date night.

A1 poutine and wings
The poutine at A1 was AMAZING! We were trying this restaurant for the first time and decided to order the chicken shawarma poutine with nacho and cheese.
It was so delicious that we will definitely be coming back. We originally ordered the large size but we realized that the regular size would have been plenty for the two of us.
The portions are generous and we were able to finish everything. I highly recommend giving this place a try, especially for the poutine!

I recently tried The Dirty South on the recommendation of a friend, and I'm so glad I did! I ordered the chicken poutine and it was amazing.
The fries were crispy and perfectly seasoned, and the chicken was tender and flavorful.
I will definitely be coming back for more. If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend giving it a try, especially if you're a fan of poutine!"
