Unfortunately, I would recommend against trying to find such a place in
Montreal. If you really want to experiment the "real" thing, you need to
find a small place in a small town that are doing all their stuff manually.
Most likely, in a city like Montreal, most restaurants will server their
"poutine" with frozen fries. You might not get the right cheese either. If
you're really serious about that, email me at <mailto:nemesys_at_cox.net> and
I'll try to ask my brothers who are still in Montreal if they have any idea
where you could find a good place. But, you have to email me, or I will
forget ;-)
Since you say that you're traveling from upstate New York, you'll most
likely drive to Montreal on the 87. Unfortunately, I don't know that part of
Quebec, between the NY state border and Montreal very well. I'm sure there
must be some small places that would server a genuine poutine, but I don't
know where they would be.
If you're traveling in the neighborhood of Sherbrooke (about 1 1/2 hour east
Montreal on highway 10), I would recommend "Louie Luncheonette".
HTH!
