1208 Wharf St #100, Victoria, BC V8W 1T9, Canada
Specializing in authentic Quebecois poutine and flat-grilled burgers made with hand-cut fries, squeaky cheese curds, and fresh ground beef.
Loved the bacon cheeseburger and the Montreal smoked meat poutine! The outdoor seating was nice with the view of the inner harbour.
A little poutine and burger joint right by the sea. Ordered their sour cream poutine and burger 🍔, a nice meal when enjoying the sunset by the Victoria Harbour that I'll recommend.
Hello! The Trekking Pawns here!! We just wanted poutine and since it was a lovely day, an easy spot outside. This place provided both! The worker was so lovely and the portion a lot bigger than expected! We got the traditional poutine with just curd and gravy (I checked that it was vegetarian friendly) and was very satisfied. The fries were perfect as well. Very nice location.
So considerate of them to have vegan and vegetarian options. They said the gravy was vegan, too! The guys who were working over the weekend were super nice. Be sure to ask for double cheese curds or else the cheese to fries ratio is off.
This is a hidden gem! Many different types of delicious poutine! Today we had the original and the baked potato poutine… SOO Good!! Prices are good as well. They also have burgers. Not licensed for Alcoholic drinks but the patio next door is.
Thanks to other google reviews we decided to try the poutine at this place for lunch. I had the Vegan Poutine & it was WONDERFUL. My husband really enjoyed the Classic Poutine. We are vacationing in Victoria for a week & will have lunch here a couple more times before heading home to Washington. DELICIOUS!
Great poutine and burgers place in Victoria. We tried their spicy poutine and boy tht was amazing. Usually not a fan of banana peppers but they just elevated the flvors of this poutine. We loved their poutine so much that we stopped by twice during our recent trip there. Service is quick. They have a few tables to sit and enjoy your burger or poutine. Highly recommend this spot.
It was amazing! The burgers are delicious, also the fries are really good. People are so kind. The man who gave me the burger was so happy about his burger creation. Hey buddy, your Méchant Burger was really really good. It is our 3rd time in L’Authentique. It is fast food, but a special one.
I was SO excited to try this place on our vacation. I was starving and looking forward to authentic poutine. IT WASN T OPEN!!! it said it should be and it wasn t. I was beyond disappointed.
The classic poutine The people were very nice. The view was great. There was no indoor seating for those who would care about that. Food : 5/5
The classic poutine here is a MUST if you re visiting Victoria. It is a walk up style, out door dining situation but totally worth stopping by.
First time here a couple of weeks ago. We both enjoyed the classic poutine. Service was friendly and surprisingly knowledgeable. Good atmosphere. We will be back for sure!
The gravy too salty. The cheese is not real quebec Authentic Cheese curds. Not going to lie was pretty. Disappoint will not be getting another one there. Im sure most people will be fine with it but myself.Im from quebec and this is a disgrace to real french poutine
Wow Mikes burger was the best burger I have had. Juicy , flavourful & the fries are made in house from scratch, and reasonable price. Highly recommend, casual vibe
Had a mix up on a late night order. They closed before I could come back, but sent me an e-transfer refund the next morning. Really nice people.
Very delicious poutine, I ordered traditional. There is no restroom. Seating is outside
Nice gravy, poor fries and light on the cheese. My daughter loves it though so perhaps a taste issue.
Celiac friendly. Gluten free fryer for fries and gluten free gravy. Delicious gf poutine. So glad we stopped by.
Maybe I ordered the wrong thing but the classic poutine was not that great. Cheese curds were really small and not melted, fries are too skinny, overcooked and gravy not hot enough. Would not try this place again...def not up to Quebec standards!
Wow that is excellent poutine and the burgers are fantastic. Had the méchante and regular cheeseburgers and they were top notch. So was the classic and burger poutines. Family was very happy! Server was a bit odd but that may add to the atmosphere.
Want a great uncomplicated burger? This is your spot. The mushroom suisse is amazing. Outdoor seating only but it is covered. Friendly staff
Very tasty poutine! I can recommend the Montreal poutine with smoked meat, yummy!
Neat view of the port, super friendly dudes, Poutine & Burger were fantastic, 10/10
Most mediocre poutine ever, if its in your name then make it memorable. Costco poutine is better. Food
Like in Quebec
Decent poutine, but not authentic.
The owner Sebastian gave me a super hard time. I wanted a fries and gravy with extra cheese curds and they tried to charge me 3$ extra because I beat the system. Essentially a poutine, but the poutine was 10$, fries and gravy with cheese are 9.50$. They wanted 13.50$. Womp womp. He got mad and yelled at me. Don t eat here.
Poutine was the best I ve had!
These are of some of the best fries and burgers Ive ever had. Prices are very good and portions are nice too. Definitely need to try this place.
One of the best cheeseburgers and poutine ever!! Cute little spot and super friendly service!
Love this place
This was our first time to this restaurant and went there based on the reviews, we were not disappointed! The mushroom Swiss burger was excellent and cooked perfectly, the poutine wes exceptional, the fries you could tell were freshly cut and cooked to the right crispiness and the gravy was flavorful. We are actually planning another trip soon to Victoria based on this restaurant because it was that good! Edit: We returned last weekend on Friday the 16th of August 2024 and the mushroom Swiss burger is still absolutely delicious. I could eat this burger over and over.
overcharged me
Best poutine Ive had on the island. Hot, crispy fries. Cold, fresh curds. Hot, flavorful gravy. Highly recommend recommend. Parking: They are literally in a paid parking lot. So, if a space is available, parking is easy.
Great service great food
Food was great and the service was amazing also.
Canadian-style burger and poutine with a nice view of the bay.
Good taste burguers, my favorite on the menu is montreal burguer, simply delicious.
Oil seemed old to be honest, fries didnt taste the best. The gravy is good... I would rate lower but I will give it another shot next time Im In town...
Amazing poutine! Friendly and efficient service from a delightful staff. Outside seating that overlooks the water. Its a must visit for sure.
Dietary restrictions: Gluten free gravy available for $2.50, Gluten free buns can be subbed for any burgers. Food
Amazing poutine! It s definitely the best poutine I ve had in Victoria and I m not a poutine person so that says something about this place! Food
Delicious poutine and burgers! Quick and hot food, comfy covered patio by the water.
On the waterfront. Great poutine.
Delicious burger and soul warming poutine! Kid-friendliness: It s burgers and fries - every kid loves that! Food : 5/5 |
Good Food, Good Service
Poutine with Montreal meat was awesome!
I was in a rush and they served me really quickly. The burger was tasty, hopefully next time I will have time to try the poutine. Theyve got a nice little spot near the waterfront too.
Absolutely nothing like authentic Quebec poutine. Fries were from a bag, cheese wasnt true curd and gravy was tasteless.
Excellent service and exceptional food
Best Poutine West to Québec, truly taste like the Arena 90 s poutine truly the best poutine on Vancouver island
We enjoyed the burgers and poutine! I had the veggie burger and it was delicious. Vegetarian options: Veggie burger and vegan poutine
Everything was great and the staff were so nice
A real poutine is the right cheese!
Nothing like poutine in Quebec... Ive never seen these stringy McD-like fries back in La Belle Provence? Had the Smoked Meat-version and for $4 more, it didnt meet my expectations for a $18 spend. Glad some like it but there is better examples in Victoria and Esquimalt.
Delicious Burger & great price! Will be back for sure!
Parking: Parking is paid, but not too expensive, the hardest part is leaving the lot, you have to get onto a relatively busy street, and cross all the bike and foot traffic too Food
The poutine is good but the burger is one of the best Ive had in Victoria.
Great location with views of the quay. Servers were friendly and helpful. After a very short wait we enjoyed the Montreal style poutine which was delicious. I would go again if I was back in town. Only complaint was having to walk up to the street after having eaten so much. Dietary restrictions: Met our gluten-free requirements.
Ah yes authentic Montreal smoke meat poutine. Very good, but wish the fries were bigger and portions bigger.
Burger was amazing Staff were super friendly Would totally recommend stopping in here and trying it out Food : 5/5
Served in French by a Quebecois and tbnk!
Pretty good. Home cut fries. Not quite like Quebec but better than others in BC. Outdoor seating is great for a visit to Victoria on a nice day. Food
Little over priced but really good
Thank you!!!!! If like me you are a new transplant to Victoria and crave an umbelical cord to connect you to the motherland and pump some of that oh so terrible (in a good way) but oh so sweet poutine into your veins, look no further. A little slice of Montreal right on the sea. Youre welcome.
Best poutine in the city! The fries have an amazing texture. The curds are squeaky. The gravy is yummy. Makes for a really delicious combination :)
best poutine in town! Dietary restrictions: they have vegan, and gluten free options
Gotta say, this is one of the best poutines Ive had in western Canada. This place is bringing that eastern Canadian poutine flavour (which in my opinion is where some of the best poutines are found.) to the west coast. Glad I got to check this place out!
Spectacular staff there, super duper friendly. The poutine was wonderful and the burgers were excellent. Shout out to Seabass for making the poutine burger happen. Cooked to absolute perfection. Delish!
Fantastic smashed burger! Been here more times than I d like to admit aga!
Really nice staff and fantastic food. Up there with one of the best smashed burgers I ve ever had. Highly recommend
Just seen the food truck parked near my place on my walk home after work. I had the best burger of my life. That was better than anything you can buy for $12. I will post again with the name of the burger, I wish my French were better. Made my day, thanks guys! Edit: the Méchant Burger, they did it again! Superb food.
I have been waiting for SOO LONG since Im in BC to find the real original experience with the gravy and the Squick Squick fresh cheese curds. Everything I have tryed so far over here was... Good for a dumpster. But this place... OMG, I felt back home. Just like the real original experience. try it it really worth it. Just the best poutine I have ever tasted in British Columbia so far. First time but not the last one Ill go there. TRY IT!!!
Damn good poutine!!! Makes me feel closer to quebec. The owner is super cool and generous! Merci Seb
Ate here last October (2022). Might have been the best burger Ive ever had. Staff was incredibly friendly and you just cant beat the view overlooking the Harbor. Made for a great and relaxing meal
tasty poutine and cheeseburger
Very pleasantly surprised by the meal we had. Great poutine was expected (and had), but the burgers stole a spot on my list of city favorites Will definitely be returning
Thinking only of food quality, I think this is some of the best poutine in town. The atmosphere is better than their main competitor, who I wont name here. I only wish they had some heating lamps or something for the cold days.
Dietary restrictions: Separate fryer fir gluten free.
Had the Montreal Style Smoked Meat Poutine and the cheeseburger. The poutine was classic and delicious. The gravy was the star of the show here: well-seasoned and there wasnt too much over the fries. The cheese was squeaky and tasty. The burger was smash burger style, well cooked, on a fluffy bun. We ate at the picnic tables around the side, cute ambiance. Service was good, food came out quickly.
Amazing!!! Truly authentic and delicious! Get chat with the staff to super friendly.
The feeling of a good, typically Quebec poutine! Its good to have a bit of the beautiful province in the West, nothing to complain about. Excellent
Fabulous local eatery. Great poutine and burgers! Kid-friendliness: Burgers, fries and corn dogs!
Hands down best poutine in Victoria! Their burgers are also amazing. I have never been disappointed!
As a member of a local poutine appreciation society, I have awarded lAuthentique the rank of current best poutine in the city. You wont be disappointed.
Best poutines in Victoria! I love the burger poutine!!
Very good poutine with proper cheese curd!
Best burger and fries with gravy were delicious The staff is very friendly and helpful They always bring a touch of sunshine to my day Deborah Cole Langford BC
10/10 poutine, vegetarian gravy is awesome!
Hands down the best burger and poutine on Vancouver Island. There is simply no competition among other burger places in Victoria, you will be blown away every time you eat at this location. Only downside is they are open for limited hours!!
First time here. Perfect little spot in the inner harbour, right near the water. I tried the Mikes Burger. Tres delicieux!
Such a great find when in Victoria for the day. Friendly and helpful staff and the Vegetarian poutine was just delightful. Wish we had more time in Victoria just so we could eat here again. BTW - the portions are huge!
My favorite poutine place in the city. Fresh, crispy shoestring cut fries. Have variations and burgers, but I prefer the classic. Covered, but outdoor picnic table seating. Steps away from the water if you get take out and want to enjoy the view.
The gluten-free poutine is the best I have ever had! Celiac sensitive gluten intolerance greatly restricts my choice of restaurants. I am so happy I gave them a try. My wife and kids agreed that we have to have to visit Victoria every year so we can have LAuthentique Poutine and Burger. My kids are now inspired to try and create this at home. What a pleasure!
Easily my favorite burger and poutine in Victoria. Everything is delicious. The people who work there are very nice and the view per dollar is unmatched in my opinion. It s a must visit
The LAuthentique food truck has provided a Corporate lunch 3 time for a large site of ~250 people. The food was fantastic and service was excellent. It is difficult to serve a mass amount of people with high quality, hot food, without huge wait time. Sebastien and his team hit it out of the park! Our company has already booked them for our next event! Vegetarian options: Vegetarian Gravy was fantastic! Dietary restrictions: Able to provide Gluten Free options
Note: did not eat. Just visited. Humorous responses to my questions great, a humble little hole in the wall with a lot of personality. Food : 3/5
Wanted to try poutine while in Canada, and this place came highly reviewed! It did not disappoint! The staff was friendly, & we enjoyed the view with our lunch!
Overall good experience and would go again! Right to the point now.. I had the Bacon Cheeseburger & Poutine. Now the Poutine was awesome, seriously one of the best Poutines i ve ever had! Generous with the curds & gravy, and the serving size was perfect with a burger as well. Price was $8 to add to the purchase of a burger. Now to the burger, very well thought out in the way of ingredients & seasonings, but i ll admit i was pretty disappointed when it came to how small the burger was for the price of $11, plus tax. It was a great burger, just really wish that I d gotten a bit more for my money. I ordered for takeout, and once i had sat down to eat, i opened the bag and i realized there were no utensils or napkins. Whatever, it was pretty busy, things get overlooked. All good!!! TLDR: Overall score of 4 Stars for food quality, taste, & friendly staff. Poutine was amazing and perfect portion size for $8 (with burger purchase). Burger was disappointingly small for being $11, but tasted very good. Fork & napkins were not supplied. Friendly staff, great place!
We were in Victoria for a cruise and wanted a good plain cheeseburger and poutine. This place was great!
Oh my this tasted so good. Stopped here on a friend recommendation and so glad I did. Fast service, reasonable prices and delicious poutine.
Great service, great prices, great meal!! Would highly recommend getting a burger
I had a stop in Victoria from my cruise and I knew as soon as I stepped foot in Canada I had to get some poutine. Thanks to google maps, I knew just where to go. I made a beeline off the boat and headed here before the lines! Food came relatively fast, they made the poutine with fresh fries and topped it sopping with gravy. The man who handed me my order was so sweet and wished me bon appetite . As I sat there enjoying this plate of heaven the line go super long! As it should, this place was excellent!
Everything from the poutine to the burgers was amazing, friendly and helpful service too!
Very nice service and knowledgeable about celiac disease. They fry corn dogs in a designated fryer so the french fries are gluten-free. You order at the window and eat outside. Parking is plentiful and you pay easily on your phone. Nice view of wharf. Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free
Fries were cold, curd wouldnt melt. Sad poutine for the money. Could make a better one in a microwave.
The poutine was heavenly! Is was a little slow getting to us, but to be fair, they were super busy with cruise tours. It was a bit cold and windy, but the food made up for that. I would totally recommend this place!
We visit this little place at least a few times a year while out deck crawling in Downtown Victoria. The big draw is the authentic (its in the name LAuthentique) Montreal Smoked Meat on the Poutine and Mechant Burgers. Best Montreal Smoked Meat I have had since I last went to Montreal. Very reasonably priced. Parking: Its along the waterfront, just off to the side of a paid parking lot so its more of the parking is enhanced by LAuthentique and not the other way around. Wheelchair accessibility: Its on the waterfront boardwalk, so highly accessible.
Great spot for some good poutine, Montreal style. Im also a fan of their burgers
LAuthentique Poutine and Burgers, Located in the heart of the city, offers a delightful experience that combines the rich flavors of poutine and the classic appeal of a mouthwatering Burgers. With its inviting outdoor seating and cozy atmosphere, this restaurant provides a memorable dining experience that will leave you craving more. I ordered the basic poutine, and I indulged. A delectable combination of crispy golden fries, velvety cheese curds, and a generous smothering of savory gravy. The fries were perfectly cooked, striking the delicate balance between softness and crispiness, and the cheese curds melted in the mouth, imparting a delightful creaminess to each bite. The gravy, rich and flavorful, complemented the other ingredients without overpowering them. It was evident that the restaurant takes pride in the quality of their ingredients, as each component was fresh and well-prepared. Moving on to the cheeseburger, LAuthentique demonstrated their prowess in crafting a classic favorite. The cheeseburger I savored was a testament to their dedication to flavor and quality. The patty, cooked to perfection, was juicy and flavorful, bursting with the unmistakable taste of quality beef. The cheese, melted to perfection, added a creamy richness that elevated the overall experience. The bun, lightly toasted, provided the ideal vessel for holding together all the delicious components of this burger. The combination of flavors and textures was undeniably satisfying, leaving me thoroughly impressed. Moreover, the staff members were friendly and attentive, ensuring that each customer received personalized attention and a seamless dining experience. Their knowledge of the menu was evident, as they offered helpful suggestions and answered any questions I had. In conclusion, LAuthentique Poutine and Burgers is a gem among outdoor restaurants. From their mouthwatering poutine to their flavorful cheeseburgers, every bite is a testament to their commitment to quality and taste. With friendly service and an inviting ambiance, this restaurant is a must-visit for food enthusiasts seeking a memorable dining experience.
Ate poutine for the first time. So the fries and the cheese were delicious, but the sauce wasnt my thing. But its a matter of taste
Friendly staff, their poutines are for me the best on the island! They are well served, the fries are fine and the location is nice and sunny! I will go back soon Food : 5/5
We came in from a cruise and we re looking for some authentic Poutine. This place has it! Fantastic food and service. Definitely check this place out!
I chose this poutine spot because of the great location and the veggie options, and I was not disappointed. The veggie burger was very tasty well formed patty instead of being to squishy. The vegan poutine was also fun because I could enjoy! My husband had a double cheeseburger, which he said was similar to a smash burger. Overall, great experience! There are several large picnic tables you can eat at, which are shaded with a view. Vegetarian options: There is a veggie burger. Also vegan and vegetarian poutine.
Everything here is always so good, never have a complaint
Great burger Dietary restrictions: Gluten free Food : 5/5 |
The best poutine in town
Best bacon cheeseburger Ive ever had and I eat alot of bacon cheeseburgers. And you wont beleive it but also one of the best poutines Ive ever had and I also eat alot of poutines. I have been coming every week since I found them about 12 or 13 weeks ago. Cannot get enough!! Parking: Its paid parking but if youre just stopping in for food I dont bother paying and its always been fine.
Great people and the poutine is really good!. Oh ya the burgers are just as good ... thanks ;-D
Cold & overpriced poutine
Hidden away beneath the stairs beneath Finns (across from the Local), you will find this takeout window with an outside (but covered) eating area. I had the Hamburger Poutine, which is difficult to find here on the West Coast. Lots of other fun options like Loaded Baked Potato and Italian. The toppings are delicious (real curds, not just mozza!). The fries are thin cut so they get cold quickly, although the gravy helps with that. I will be back to try another kind!
I enjoyed their tasty veggie burger which had a pleasurable crispness to the actual burger part. We also ordered the large poutine covered in gravy and cheese curds and was surprised how crispy the fries remained without going soggy. Tables are outside so we were glad to have jackets with us.
Great place, even greater poutine! The cheese, fries, and gravy ratio is perfect, and the gravy itself is flavourful and well made. Staff are chill and good at their job. Prices are good aswell, and you get plenty of food for what you pay! Parking: Huge parking lot right next to the location
One of the best burgers Ive ever had, soooo flavourful. Really great poutine too. Cashier always super friendly too Food
Had a very chill person at the front, was very patient! Had a gluten free poutine and it tasted amazing! Quick service and good quality food would strongly recommend.
We had the spicy poutine, which had an outstanding flavour. They add banana peppers to make it spicy, the crunch of the French fries with the creaminess of the cheese curds makes it an absolute delight.
Let em eat
Really good poutine. Only outdoor seating which was perfect for people watching just on the waterfront. The chips are both soft and crispy. There s a few other things on the menu. Other than poutine which is nice. I ordered the Poutine Montreal and it was pretty tasty. The only thing that I felt was lacking was the gravy. It was kind of bland. Other than that, such a good spot.
This was a very satisfying and pleasant experience! The service was friendly, professional and welcoming. The burger was delicious beyond belief and killed the craving I had upon arrival. Parking was a bit of a pain and it s outdoor seating only, but don t let this discourage you from visiting L Authentique
Went to the food truck in Langford today and had a cheeseburger with fries, and it was delicious. Next time, Ill bring my dad to try it out, and the customer service was really friendly
A poutine that would be competitive with those in Quebec, very good service
Extremely pleasant staff. Poutine was great. Hot, fresh, well cooked fries. So yummy. The spicy poutine was excellent and unique. Their outdoor benches allowed dogs, which was nice because we had ours with us. Prices were very reasonable for the amount of poutine you get. Location is great down by the Victoria harbour.
The Poutine was great. We had the one with the burger on it, and it was a great afternoon snack to share. It could be a whole meal if youre eating one by yourself. Its counter service. The person at the window was very friendly. The seating are had plenty of seats when we went, but the tables werent very clean.
Tastes great, skip the dishes quantities are misleading. This is the Large Montreal.
Amazing food. So quiet. I had the Mikes Burger and it hit the spot for a great burger! Baked potato Poutine was delicious!
My husband and I stopped in here on our way back to our Airbnb for the night. Staff was super nice and we didnt have to wait long. It was still hot by the time we got back. Im so glad we stumbled upon this place because it was a meal highlight of the trip. The flavors are unbelievable and I wish I would have gotten my own burger! Highly recommend the bacon cheeseburger with Montreal poutine. What I wouldnt give for some right now!
Name says it all, authentic Quebecoise curds and gravy. Only thing stopping it from being 5 stars were the fries, would have preferred thicker cut.
My heart aches seeing the Temporarily Closed on Google. This place & their food truck are true gems on the island. I ve lived in Montreal and Toronto, had dozens of poutines at some of Canada s best places and this one is on my top 5 list for sure! *They also gave my small chihuahua an entire burger patty for free once while we were waiting at the food truck. Needless to say, ALL of us walked home HAPPY. 11/10!!
Finally I ve found a real Quebec poutine The portions are generous and the cheese is amaaazing. Best poutine in the island
The best vegan and gluten-free poutine!!!!!!!
Had a vegan poutine that was hard to top.
This place used to be a go-to for a good poutine. Now they basically serve an overpriced version of a Wendys or mcdonalds poutine with shoestring potatos and packaged gravy. Dont bother with this place.
Awesome guys and food!
i have tried all their poutine and they are all delicious. best poutine in the city and fantastic burgers too.
We just had the best poutine! Seriously. Generous portion and deep flavor. We had the Burger Poutine and we ll be back for more,.. every time we re in Victoria, merci beaucoup!! (French: I Google it haha)
Delicious, fresh burgers and fries. Very good portions. And the service was amazing! Will 100% recommend to friends and come back next time we are back on the island.
If you havent tryed this poutine then please treat yourself to a good meal. Always tastes great and plently of cheese and friendly staff. Been coming here since he opened his first food truck and will keep coming back.
I tried their food truck at the local baseball game recently and if you are a fan of powdered gravy, packaged frozen French fries, and 6 cheese curds for 14 dollars then this is the place for you. But, if you are looking for authentic poutine, like the establishment name, stay away. I have had authentic poutine from Quebec and this doesn t taste like it at all. I don t write many negative reviews, but I was not pleased with their food truck, that I would never try their location on warf because I might get the same quality of food at such high price.
July 8, 2022 There was a Nation wide blackout of internet services. Debit, Credit cards and all ATMs were down. Me and a coworker had been working since 4AM neither of us had cash, it was 11 AM and we were both very hungry. I offered the owner (Mike) to take a screenshot of my ID and gave my word that I would return with payment and a big tip if he would trust us for a meal. He told us no screenshot was necessary and to order whatever we wanted! The food was awesome. The bill was paid promptly and I wish that could I give him a ten star rating. Thanks Mike, theres not that many people that are as reasonable as you.
Very good poutine, the gravy and cheese curds have alot of flavour. The burgers are fresh and tasty lots of good flavour. Would definitely come back next time I visit Victoria!
I was happy to stop by with my husband last weekend (had a food tour of a few places); its below Finns, which may make it difficult to find for some. Its got outdoor and sheltered eating area, nice and casual. Its got a view of the water, and a nearby restaurant. Husband and I shared a poutine- and I do love poutine! The fries were crispy shoestring- the cheese curds were squeaky, and the gravy was just enough to coat the fries but not drown them. Good fast and friendly service, and crispy fries. Worth to try, especially if you enjoy a good poutine! I havent tried their burger, but I may have to!
Best poutines in Victoria and very friendly service, loved their spicy poutine!!
I always come here for a classic poutine like you would find in a traditional Quebec snack bar. The cheese curds are fresh and squeaky, as they should be.
Yum, yum, yum! We went three times over a weekend. Original, spicy, and Montreal versions are great!
Great classic poutine and smash burger! Cheese curds were soft and gravy had excellent flavour. Taste just like poutine you d find in Quebec.
Great burgers with an awesome outdoor seating area!
Excellent staff and excellent poutine!
Good food, super location, friendly service.
Poutine is fantastic I get the original basic one and its super good
Really great burger and poutine for a fair price
Good poutine! Classic is a banger.
Best burger on the whole waterfront! Seriously!! Made fresh ! Have eaten lunch here our last 3 times in Victoria. Awesome staff / Awesome service/ great food
Its just the best poutine youre ever going to have outside of Quebec, no big deal. Hurry up and go already, its goooooood
I ve had plenty of burgers and plenty of poutine and this place is the best by far. Everytime I m in Victoria the first stop I make is getting a burger and poutine
It wasn t the best poutine I ve ever had, nor the worst. There was something I didn t quite like about the gravy, but if you are just looking to fill a hole in your stomach then it s okay.
This place is great! The staff are super friendly and very accommodating, can t recommend it enough!
This is real Québécois food, guys. Super awesome staff, perfect gravy, and cheese curds that are just the right size. You can t go wrong here! Parking: Lots of convenient parking!
Fast and delicious. We sat outside at the tables, great spot on a sunny day. Vegetarian options: The gravy is vegan. There are vegan cheese options. Parking: It is next to a large pay lot. There are other lots and street parking around.
Excellent, flavourful, aromatic smash burger. Great poutine, even for someone who doesn t tend to enjoy poutine. I ve returned many times. The French Canadian staff are also perfect and fitting.
Tasty food. Great prices.
This is the closest to Québec poutine youll find in the city. Their cheese curds squeek, the gravy is rich, and the fries are well seasoned. What more can you ask?
Authentic poutine
We ate there 2 nights in a row! Best poutine in all of British Columbia.
Delicious poutine, will come back
I was hoping I would find myself another poutine place in Victoria that had the same quality as home (Mtl) and I was not disappointed! The fries are great and the cheese squeaks perfectly! Definitely recommend
And the award for the best poutine in BC (from far) goes to these guys! Im a real fan of poutine and that was a real Authentic Québec poutine! Plenty of fresh cheese curds, excellent gravy and crispy home cut fries Thanks so much guys! See you soon!
This place has the nicest staff and service. Right away, they make you feel right at home. Such a great experience! I will definitely be back!
What a beautiful experience! Fresh handcrafted fries, yummy gravy and perfect curd from the Island! Sebastian was so kind to make our first poutine experience perfect..sure to be the first of many more here to come! Lets support these kind of local teams making great memories around food! And the location on the wharf is perfect!!!!
We dont go into Victoria often but it was the wifes birthday and she loves Poutine. So just Googled it and this place had a number of good reviews, so thought Id give it a try. The food here is really ! Good. The bacon cheeseburger is excellent my wife had the beef poutine and couldnt say enough good things about it. It was well worth the trip from Sydney.
Delicious rich brown gravy , plentiful squeeky cheese curds combined with perfectly fried potatoes makes the most perfect poutine in all the land ( I ate it so fast there was no time for pictures sorry)
So good, best poutine in town, friendly staff, delicious burger, I recommend this place to everybody. Just glad I dont have to drive all the way to Langford anymore. Just go, you will go back!
Best Poutine in Victoria! When you ask for extra cheese, that s exactly what you get!
As they say in the social media world, OMG. What delicious poutine! Coupled with the Mechant burger (flat patty, cheese, Montreal smoked meat and fried onions, it couldnt have been better. Great staff as well. Highly recommended. We will definitely be back for more.
Awesome poutine and friendly staff!
Absolutely fantastic food and service. What a great way to be able to enjoy an evening at the lagoon. Their gravy was out of this world. Ill think about their burgers for the rest of the year. Completely amazing.
Literally the best poutine Ive had. The fries are crispy, the curds are squeeky, and the gravy is absolutely to die for. Im looking forward to going back!
The best poutine Ive had in Victoria hands down. And Ive tried my fair share of poutines. Already thinking about when I can go back to try their other menu items.
The way a poutine should be, great customer service, real frenchmen working the restaurant! Great view to just chill and crush a poutine !!
The burgers are absolutely fantastic. I always want the second burger after I finish just for the flavour. Crispy edges and juicy inside patties. Poutines are great too but the burgers are my favorites here! Thank you for awesome foods
RIPOFF. False Advertising For a basic sized poutine was 16$, and judging by the picture on Skip the Dishes I thought it seemed like a generous portion for that. So after $22 after taxes, I get ridiculously small box of poutine.... Tasted good at least, but not ordering here again for such false advertising
Had high hopes because of the reviews and nice pictures. We have done most poutine places in town. We did the smoked meat poutine, the cheese curds were plentiful and squeaky. Fries are pretty good, would prefer them to be a bit thicker for more of a bite. Meat was alright, didnt seem to have much flavour. But the gravy was the weak spot. In the pictures it looked much darker and thick, what we got was thin and light with pretty much no flavour. Maybe they didnt use enough pre packaged gravy mix. But with no flavour in the gravy it kind of made everything bland. Overall I would grab the pulled porked poutine at Jones BBQ instead for just a few more dollars and get a way bigger and more flavourful poutine.
Awesome!!! Such a great meal for the whole family. Huge portions, and great options for the kids. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. Poutine is as authentic as it gets. You will not be disappointed.
Amazing friendly staff and amazing food!!!
I took 2 bites of my poutine and knew immediately I had to leave a review. This is the best poutine Ive ever had hands down. If youre in Victoria and you dont check out LAuthentique then youre missing out!
The best Poutine in Victoria...bar none. The fresh -cut fries are the right shoestring size, cheese curds not big hunks but plentiful & the gravy is outstanding. If the Poutine is any indication, all their other items wont disappoint, Im sure. Rod
The Best Vegan Poutine ever!
Got the mushroom swiss burger and poutine combo from their food truck. I can testify that the cheese curds are indeed squeaky. We just moved here from Quebec and very happy to find good poutine here. The burger was also excellent. Thank you for making my Quebecois husband very happy :)
Just the best. Reminds me of the poutine truck I would go to in Vanier. Very authentic. The fries and gravy are perfect. Burgers super tasty too. Merci, boys! Jadore ta nourriture.
It s good poutine, but I wish they would update their hours online to reflect their actual opening times, it s always disappointing showing up to a place and it being closed unexpectedly.
Wow is really good must try
Great poutine, gravy, and burger options with a fantastic view. Can easily accommodate dietary requirements. A great cheap, fast meal with very friendly service.
The best poutine we ve ever had! Everything is delicious and freshly prepared all accompanied by friendly service. We so appreciate that offer so many GF options for the Celiac member of the family. Lovely patio overlooking the harbour to sit on as well. We ll be back soon!
Fast and friendly service. We ordered the kids burger and fries which is a steal of a deal. Excellent cheeseburger with fries, juice box and ice cream cup for $9. We didn t get the poutine sadly but we did order another small fry because these fries were arguably the best I have had in my life! Definitely pop in for a bite!
Really great Montréal style poutine! Every component was on point, especially the tender smoked meat option. Highly recommend for classic poutine in Victoria!
