Places I want to try specifically for the poutine:

• Brüger (Burgers) - Footscray
  • Probably worth trying!

  • Their poutine seems to use cheese rather than cheese curds.
  • Still seems like a good place even if the poutine isn’t authentic.
• Juanita Peaches (American) - Brunswick
  • The poutine photos look unimpressive, but I may as well drop in and try the poutine if I’m in the area. Maybe it’s better than it looks?
• Tallboy & Moose (Pub) - Preston

  • Do they also serve Caesar cocktail? I should probably also try one while I’m there.
• That Burger Joint (Burgers) - St Kilda | Fitzroy North
