Open 24 hours a day in the heart of the Plateau on Parc La Fontaine's north end, this friendly, funky, hippie-meets-hipster diner is a city landmark for its poutine: La Banquise offers some two dozen variations on the standard French fries with gravy and cheese curds, with add-ons ranging from smoked sausage to hot peppers to smoked meat to bacon. "Regular" size is huge and enough for two. Also on the menu are steamed hot dogs ("steamies") served with hot cabbage coleslaw, as well as burgers, omelets, and club sandwiches. Everything is best washed down with a local brew like Belle Gueule or Boréale. While La Banquise's after-hours clientele is largely club kids and night owls who like loud music (and don't mind crowds or lineups), during the day the colorful diner takes on a quieter atmosphere, making it a cozy hangout for all -- what kid doesn't love french fries? In warm weather, there's an outdoor terrace.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
