About Smoke’s Poutinerie

Smoke’s Poutinerie is a street restaurant located on Richmond Street in the downtown area of London. It serves the local community and beyond by offering a menu dedicated exclusively to various types of poutine. The restaurant specializes in a unique Canadian food experience where guests can customize their poutine with a wide variety of toppings. Options include beef, chicken, pork, and various vegetables, as well as different types of sauces. Specific toppings mentioned include double-smoked bacon, caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, and pulled pork. The establishment uses its own recipe for a classic chicken-based Quebec gravy, which features subtle seasonings like rosemary, and also provides a veggie gravy option. Their poutine is built using hand-cut fries made from locally sourced potatoes, blanched in trans-fat-free canola oil, and topped with fresh, squeaky white cheese curds. The business describes itself as the world's largest and original poutinerie, with a vision of achieving global domination by entertaining the world through poutine. The brand's origins are rooted in a story about a man named Smoke who developed his signature concoction to win the affection of a woman. The restaurant emphasizes its commitment to quality, noting that the potatoes are hand-picked and distributed in their own branded bags. Customers can enjoy their meals via pick-up or delivery.
