With one notable restaurant exception (read on), Seattle’s got a general dearth of Canadian cuisine, despite being approximately two blocks down the street from Canada. But it does have poutine. Granted, Seattle’s poutine game can’t touch Montreal’s just yet, where they require details like squeaky cheese curds and hand-cut fries for it to qualify as a real poot.

That said, it’s kinda hard to go wrong with fries, cheese, and gravy, so even an inaccurate poutine can still be a delicious one. Fortunately, plenty of local restaurants have clued into this and are repping our northern neighbors on their menus lately, and there are some fun twists out there on the classic Québécois casse-croûte (snack bar) dish.
