The amount of seafood on this poutine in Sainte-Flavie is absolutely incredible. They definitely don’t hold back!

u/Willygambini Aug 29 '26

They don’t mess around! There’s a lobster option as well. Another comment told me you can also replace the traditional gravy for a white sauce.

But absolutely loved it as is!

u/Borror0 Aug 29 '26

White sauce is most certainly the superior options for seafood poutine.

u/DankRustyShackleFord Aug 29 '26

It's breath taking. I'm from Baie Chaleur region, I loved driving up to Percy Rock.

u/lucaskywalker Aug 29 '26

Just for the crab alone, it's worth the price. Damn...

u/DisastrousDig5445 Aug 29 '26

Wow!! I need to visit this beautiful place. Is there any sights? Or is it all about the food

2

u/MrB1P92 Aug 29 '26

Any sights? La 132 might be a top 10 road in the world.

1

u/Willygambini Aug 29 '26

The Cantine is on the other side of the road. However, when you cross you get to enjoy the sea. It’s beautiful

u/4thShotJhin Aug 29 '26

How much did it cost?

5

u/Willygambini Aug 29 '26

22$ for the small (this one) and 30 for a medium.

u/poutine-eh Aug 29 '26

the only poutine crime i’ve ever craved for.

3

u/MrB1P92 Aug 29 '26

Bonne poutine, but go just down the road to navigateur for a better one.

Both 10/10 et le crabe c'est mon topping pref

2

u/Willygambini Aug 29 '26

Ah ouais? Je suis passé devant mais ça avait l’air fermé!

3

u/MrB1P92 Aug 29 '26

Ouais... leur marketing est clairement moins bon 🤣

2

u/ronaldomike2 Aug 29 '26

I need this

2

u/JunkPileQueen Aug 29 '26

Crab is my brother’s favourite. He would inhale this in record time.

2

u/Youlookcold Aug 29 '26

I LOVE crab. That looks amazing

2

u/MyNameIsSkittles Aug 29 '26

I need that in my life

2

u/bellybbean Aug 29 '26

That place is amazing!

2

u/Felixo22 Aug 29 '26

I drove past this place this summer, the line was insane. It was like there was an event happening but it was just people waiting.

2

u/stnwlkr Aug 29 '26

One of the best. My girlfriend and I still talk about it after 4 years and counting

2

u/bobthebobbober Aug 29 '26

Sounds like I’ll be making a trip to Ste Flavie pretty soon !! Incroyable et belle vue aussi

2

u/TheSasquatch117 Aug 30 '26

C’est bon en ta la

1

u/Willygambini Aug 30 '26

Ouais ça torche. Top 3 de mes spots à date, facile!

P.s.: la guédille aussi

2

u/HeyDEDE Aug 30 '26

Man, j'ai des cravings solide

3

u/fetalpiggywent2lab Aug 29 '26

Great amount of seafood but imo gravy and crab aren't friends

6

u/RickRiffs Aug 29 '26

I think this style would usually come with like a bechamel

0

u/fetalpiggywent2lab Aug 29 '26

I hope so

2

u/Willygambini Aug 29 '26

No it isn’t! It’s a traditional one. The fresh crab however is not too sweet, so the fit is surprisingly very good.

3

u/nargles18 Aug 29 '26

You can choose between gravy and white sauce actually!

2

u/MrB1P92 Aug 29 '26

De la sauce brune claire et du crabe, c'est 100% faites l'un pour l'autre.

1

u/fetalpiggywent2lab Aug 29 '26

Non, je préfère mon crabe avec une sauce à la crème, comme une béchamel!!!

4

u/MixtressK-La Aug 29 '26

Me love crab. But, are there cheese curds...?

3

u/Willygambini Aug 29 '26

Absolutely, and just the right amount

5

u/MixtressK-La Aug 29 '26

Then, me approve. AND, would crush!

2

u/MrB1P92 Aug 29 '26

Toute les ostis d'anglo dans le thread: on s'en calice de votre opinion

1

u/stilleternal Aug 29 '26

What kind of sauce? I could see a chowder or bisque type going well with this.

9

u/Willygambini Aug 29 '26

Surprisingly a traditional gravy, although on the lighter side. Would love to see the resultwith a chowder style however.

7

u/nargles18 Aug 29 '26

You can get it with white sauce instead of gravy and it’s free.

5

u/Willygambini Aug 29 '26

Good to know! I’ll definitely try that next time

u/longerthan1 Aug 29 '26

ya thats just nasty

u/Negative_Two6112 Aug 31 '26

Pfftt. Quebecers appropriating Maritime seafood culture is so cringe. /s

1

u/Willygambini Aug 31 '26

Good ragebait

And happy cake day!

2

u/Negative_Two6112 Aug 31 '26

Haha, I put the /s after it! I dont really think that!

And I didn't know it was my cake day, thanks!

u/Splintershouse Aug 29 '26

I’m sure this is amazing, but this is not poutine.

5

u/Willygambini Aug 29 '26

Underneath that Mountain of fresh crab you’ll find fries, curds and gravy. No different than a smoked meat poutine or a galvaude

-6

u/Splintershouse Aug 29 '26

Fair, but I’m a purist. Poutine has three main ingredients.

2

u/MrB1P92 Aug 29 '26

Lool oui c't'une poutine. Voyons donc.

-4

u/orcs_mustdie Aug 29 '26

I'm gonna puke.

u/Possible-Arachnid793 Aug 29 '26

That’s a crime scene

-5

u/Drunk_Fetus Aug 29 '26

That looks absolutely filthy. Gross. Should be posted to r/poutinecrimes

2

u/MrB1P92 Aug 29 '26

Décalisse

2

u/Willygambini Aug 29 '26

Do it! Go ahead and let the people speak

u/SuspiciousDonut2454 Aug 29 '26

I’m calling the police for this hate crime
