Canada in Dubai ... eh!

How absolutely brilliant is it to find poutine and Montreal style smoked beef in Dubai? Let me answer that in one word: very. Where did we find this slice of Canadiana? At the Maple Leaf Restaurant - Montreal Smoked Meat and Poutine. The name says it all.

We started off with a poutine each. The label "sides" was misleading as it was easily enough as a main course. The gravy could have been slightly more flavourful but overall a nice poutine. Then on to the Maple Leaf Sandwich which we thankfully decided to share. The smoked beef can only be described as amazing, tender and flavourful it was nicely complimented by the caramelized onions. The service was friendly and quick. From the look of the other diners and the high chairs against the far wall this looks to be a very family friendly place. The menu is not overwhelming, what they do they do it well (my taste buds agree).

Round one: Poutine with home made fries

Round Two: The Maple Leaf Sandwich
