 |
|
I havent seen New York Fries around these days. I assumed they closed down. (overpriced for what you got anyway).
Has anyone ever seen a restaurant that serves it? I know its a long shot!
I read thats theres a French commuinity near Express Bus Terminal, but Im not sure theyd have that.
Is there any restaurants that serve it regularly in Itaewon?
Dyin for some! Might make my own if I can find some gravy and proper cheese for it, but Id rather just find a good restaurant |

First off the French community in Seoul likely wouldn't have a poutine shop, because poutine is a product of French Canada.
Not that I've got my a-hole comment out of the way  you can find poutine at the Rocky Mountain Tavern in Itaewon or What's On Top? in Sinchon. |

| There is a New Yokr Fries in Gangnam station. I havn't found a poutine yet in this country that can compete with those. New York Fries is great, but I have certainly had better. |

I've had decent poutine at the Rocky Mountain Tavern in Itaewon, it's called "Montreal Style Poutine".
I'm a true quebecois and the taste was alright.
There is also a NY Fries in Apkujeong that offers it but I have yet to try it. |

Would you happen to remember the price of poutine at Rocky Mountain?
I know N.Y. Fries is about 5,000 (maybe more now) just for a small serving. For the size, Id consider it a snack more than a fill-you-up serving
I suppose youd have to pay at LEAST 10,000-15,000 for something half-decent |

Where is "Whats On Top?" ? Meaning, is there any stores/buildings of significance around it? |

| At Rocky Mountain I' pretty sure it's 6,000 or 7,000. The portion is alright, I shared it with a few friends. The fries and cheese are good, the only problem is the sauce (it tastes okay but not like in Montreal)... but I liked it, it made me happy on that day. |

It is not quite like poutine from Quebec, but it is close enough. Anyway, Montreal has different variations of poutine. Now, this isn't authentic poutine, but I miss Italian poutine. Italian poutine is very delicious. There is also poutine with cheese curds and pieces of chicken. Now that kind of poutine is to die for. In Canada, you can find poutine sauce. |

I think the place is called "Watt's on Tap". The guy who owns it is named Watt. It's in Shinchon, a little hard to explain, but walk down the narrow road behind Hyundai department store with all the restaurants and you'll see it on the third floor on the left eventually. It's on a corner. |

Do they serve poutine daily or just on certain days? |

| be careful at New York Fries, they sometimes squeeze in some nasty yellow nacho cheese in the middle of the poutine. Not always, but it has happened a few times. |

At Rocky Mountain the poutine is always on the menu, so I'm pretty sure you can get it anytime.
Adventurer- yes Italian one is so good too! I mean, I used to eat poutine like twice a year, but now that I'm away from it I kinda miss it. |

| Poutine sound like something you'd buy short-time in Thailand. |

| It's was on the menu at B1 for a while. Huge portion, tons of gravy. The fries are pretty big and get soggy kinda quick, though. If you can scarf it up quick with friends it's a great soaker to keep the night going. |
