La Banquise is always busy, especially in the whee hours of the night when everyone is looking for some good late night drunchies. It's definitely a Montreal staple and has had a few appearances on the Food Network because of its large selection and creativity with poutine. \n\nDespite the massive line ups, don't be intimidated...they move at a pretty good pace and, in my experience, has always been worth the wait. Their Merguez poutine is delicious, get the Kamikaze if you'd like an extra kick of spice due to the added hot peppers and tabasco (it's on my 'to try' list). The T-Rex is quite popular, although I've never had it, which is loaded with a variety of meat. And for my next visit I'd definitely like to try the Taquise, it seems really interesting since it has guacamole, sour cream, and tomatoes. I've heard the combination works well, and I'm eager to find out!
