Rockville’s Pop-Up Poutine has been named one of the best places for poutine in America by TastingTable. Poutine is a popular Canadian dish consisting of French fries topped with cheese curds and gravy. As Canadians living in the US, the owners of the Pop-Up Poutine found it impossible to find good poutine, so they came up with their own cheese curd recipe and use a sauce/gravy base that’s imported from Montreal to create the most authentic poutine in the area.
You can order Pop-Up Poutine at their Rockville location (12712 Rock Creek Mill Rd 16 AA), or from one of their food trucks you’re likely to spot at local breweries, events, and festivals across the county. In addition to poutine, they’re also known for their imported Montreal smoked meat, a beef brisket that’s described as a cross between corned beef and pastrami (full menu at the bottom of article).
The Pop-Up Poutine food truck, sometimes referred to as a Taste of Montreal, makes simple, great poutine with the classic ingredients of French fries, cheese curds, and gravy that is also gluten-free. If you wanted to dress up your poutine further, you could add Montreal smoked meat, bacon, or even a veggie mix to add a bit of color to this fried favorite.
The Rockville location has several signature options for poutine, including fried indulgence, vegetable delight, welcome to D.C., Salvadorian, Peruvian, and Irish banger. While traditional poutine typically has squeaky cheese curds, the fried indulgence option replaces those cheese curds with fried ones. The vegetarian delight is classic poutine with mushrooms, red peppers, and onions on top. Welcome to D.C. offers a different flavor with fried chicken, shredded cheddar, and mambo sauce. For something a little more unique, you’ll love the Peruvian option with fries, marinated steak, onion, tomato, and queso blanco.”
