Poutine on Cape Cod

By Ken VanTassell

Cape Cod gets it's fair share of Canadian tourists due to our proximity and the warmer water and beaches (it's all relative !). With this in mind I present as a service to all the Canadian Cape Cod tourists a list of Cape Restaurants that serve poutine.

What is this thing called Poutine you ask ? Originating in the Province of Quebec, traditional Poutine is French Fries, Cheese Curds, and Brown Gravy. In Canada everyone sells Poutine, it is a regular menu item on most fast food chain restaurants. Lately some restaurants have been taking license to add other ingredients to this basic formula.

If you would like to see a video on how Poutine is constructed, Canadian YouTube food reviewer Ken Domik has you covered in this video:
