What MrMoreLight likes about Cantine Fortier:
Located near the Matapedia gorge, this modest restaurant serves up a delicious poutine that is considered a hidden gem. While it may not have much signage outside, it can be found near the McDonald's on the road. The friendly employees provide excellent service and the Galvaude poutine I ordered exceeded my expectations. The gravy was beautifully done and the double-fried fries were a highlight.
