Our little Gastown lunch dining crew decided to hit up Frenchies for some poutine and smoked meat from the authentic French-Canadian style diner.

We were prompted to the joint from this Georgia Straight article and it gave us some serious hunger pangs with a dozen different kinds of poutine.

The diner itself is pretty small and compact. It has a quirky, fun vibe to the place.

Dennis said the smoked meat sandwich was good, but not quite up to par with Kaplan's.

I simply had the small, "classic" poutine anticipating a massive meat and gravy overload.

The "medium" portion size (there's no "large" by the way") was ridiculously massive.

The smoked meat poutine was a popular choice with the titular meat spread throughout a massive poutine spread. I was not entirely on board with the combination, but it was still pretty tasty.

The meat pie didn't do it for me. It tasted like generic ground beef in a pie. The side gravy with fries tasted different than the gravy used in the poutine.

The chicken poutine felt a little strange, but it was still pretty good. I thought the peas were a little random though.

I'd definitely come back to try all the different styles of poutine and there meaty sandwiches.
