Our Classic Donair Poutine is the dish that put DJ Donair & Poutine on the map in Ellerslie. Golden fries go into the fryer to order, get layered with cheese so it melts on contact, then take a generous ladle of rich hot gravy and a heap of seasoned halal beef donair meat. Finish it with sweet donair sauce, garlic sauce or hot sauce and you have the comfort food south Edmonton asks for by name. Choose small for a side, regular for a full lunch, or large when you are sharing - reviewers keep telling us the portions are huge for the price.
Everything in this poutine is made in the right order for texture. Fries are cooked crisp, cheese is added while they are hottest, gravy is poured fresh from the pot and the donair meat is carved off the spit last so it lands hot on top instead of steaming the fries.
We are a halal kitchen, so the donair meat, gravy and sauces are all halal friendly and prepared in house. It is a favourite for late-night takeout on Friday and Saturday, game nights, and quick family dinners around Ellerslie, Summerside, Walker and The Orchards.
Soggy poutine usually means fries sat too long or gravy went on too early. We batch our fries small, build each poutine only after you order, and pack takeout containers with a vented lid so steam escapes on the drive home to Charlesworth, Aurora or Rutherford.
