From the red and blue sign to the vintage Canadiens merch and Quebec license plates hanging inside, the whole place screams l<em>a belle province</em> — even though it's about 13,000 kilometres away.</p>

<p>As for what's on the menu, it's full of wild takes on the classic dish, including a Mexican-style poutine with a fried egg, schnitzel poutine, and even a spicy Thai version.
