I'm honestly not sure, but I'd be more than happy to investigate! Any excuse for a visit to BDT is a good one.

Highly recommended: their food is as good as their beer, and their beer is délicieux! Although they have some stiff competition from Mill St these days, I'd say BDT is still my favourite brewpub in the Outaouais.

Call the pizza man!

LMAO

On poutine eh? Well for me it would have to be a flood of gravy. Then a (only one) Zigzag of Ketchup up across her. And sprinkled with pepper.

St. Hubert's gravy

Ah Poutine!!! havent had one in a long time but i must say just salt and a Ice cold coke in a small bottle is pretty hard to beat!

I will second this as an excellent option. I used to work at Jamie Kennedy's Wine Bar, where we did multiple versions of poutine each week.

My favourite ones were:

1) braised beef cheek with horseradish creme fraiche and scallions
2) Pulled pork shoulder (which had been confit'd in duck fat as opposed to braised in stock), and topped with fresh pecorino fresco (fresh sheeps milk cheese), and chives.

Sorry....I got a bit fancy there.

I also like straight up old school gravy.

I'm not Canadian, nor been to Canada in at least a decade... but I love poutine. I top it with bacon or shredded pork bbq.
