Last month, we showcased Vancouver’s 5 Best Places to Try Poutine for the First Time. While those restaurants specialize in the Quebec trademark, several others that don’t normally serve poutine are getting in on the curdy action this month in the third annual Poutine Challenge.
Organized by local food blogger Vancouver Foodster, the challenge sees 12 Vancouver and Richmond restaurants putting their own unique spins on the dish, including an Indian and a Jamaican version.

Trying poutine in Vancouver is like having croissants in France, sushi in Japan, and bagels in New York. It’s a must do if you’ve never tried it. It’s the quintessential dish of Canada, and while it may have originated in Quebec, Vancouverites sure do know how to pack a plate full of delicious, steaming hot fries smothered in gravy and squeaky cheese curds.
If you’re new to Canada, or just have never had a chance to try poutine, it’s time to take a trip to flavour-town and experience the taste sensation that some of the best poutine in Vancouver has to offer.

So many poutines, so little time.
Some 21 different styles of poutine – the classic Quebecois dish of fries, cheese curds and gravy – are competing for the title of Vancouver’s best this month as part of the 2nd annual Poutine Challenge. And you’re the judge.
Organized by foodie website Vancouver Foodster, the Poutine Challenge is a kind of people’s choice awards for the classic comfort food. You go to as many of the participating restaurants as you can during the month of February, sample their poutines and then vote online for your favourites from Feb. 26-March 2.
According to the contest rules, poutine should be judged by “originality, creativity, uniqueness, traditional, non-traditional, price, value and most importantly taste.”
And judging from the lineup, there’s some stiff competition out there. Here are just a few of this year’s standout poutines.

It’s that time again. Let’s revive the great Vancouver poutine debate.
More than two years ago, I asked readers to share their picks for Vancouver’s best poutine. That post got nearly 100 comments and was one of the most popular Inside Vancouver stories ever.
But a lot has changed in two years. Suddenly, it seems poutine is everywhere in Vancouver – from fancy restaurants to dedicated poutineries serving nothing but fries and gravy (There’s even an annual Poutine Fest, held this year on March 9). So I need your help:

Vancouver’s Best Poutine? You make the call!
The annual Festival de la Poutine takes place Nov. 19, at the Hellenic Cultural Centre to the delight of Van’s poutine connoisseurs. The first time I ever heard of edible cheese curds was in nursery rhyme wherein little Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet eating her curds and whey. But I know better than to underrate the appeal of this Canadian staple. As Remy’s post on Vancouver’s best poutine demonstrates, poutine is a passion, not a passing trend like the bacon cupcake.
The Festival de la Poutine by Francouver celebrates this gravy and cheese curd smothered French fry dish. Read on to get the event details, from Poutine Crawl to poutine contest. Continue reading:
