Squeaky fresh cheese curds, crispy house-cut fries and generous brown gravy. More than 15 poutines in Limoilou — dine in, take out or have it delivered.
A Québec icon
Born right here in Québec, poutine is far more than comfort food : it is a ritual. Late at night after a show, as a family on the weekend, or simply because an appetite does not negotiate. In Limoilou, the neighbourhood that beats at the heart of Québec City, that has been common knowledge since 1972.
At Casse-croûte Pierrot there are no shortcuts : real fresh cheese curds delivered every day, potatoes cut and fried on site, and a brown gravy simmered in our own kitchen.
See our poutine menuThe secret of a great poutine
Fresh Québec cheese curds, delivered daily. You can hear them between your teeth — if they do not squeak, it is not a real poutine.
Cut and fried right on site, our fries have the texture that matters : crisp outside, tender inside — sturdy enough to hold up under the gravy instead of going soggy.
Our house brown gravy is poured on hot and in quantity — just enough to soften the curds a little without drowning the fries.
Available to eat in at Limoilou, to take out or delivered across several Québec City areas. Order straight online — quick, and no waiting on the phone.
In the spotlight
The galvaude is a distinctly Québec specialty : chicken, green peas and cheese curds over a generous portion of fries smothered in brown gravy. At Pierrot it is made with real pieces of chicken — available as a mini ($12.60), small ($16.45) or large ($23.75).

The Italian poutine swaps the brown gravy for a herbed tomato sauce. It is where two food cultures meet, and it has long been part of how Québec eats. At Pierrot it is generous and authentic — as a mini ($11.55), small ($14.95) or large ($21.95).
