Honest verdict on Montreal Smoked Meat — good but not exceptional

Montreal Smoked Meat here was solidly made — rich and indulgent without anything to complain about. Quebec cheese curds was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

poutine emerged from Quebec rural diners in the 1950s and became Canada's most internationally recognised dish. The a sugar shack cabane à sucre atmosphere was pleasant enough. Nanaimo bar dessert was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Montreal Smoked Meat this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
