At a place that proudly flies the Southern Cross, on both the national flag and the flag of the Eureka Stockade, you'd never expect grub from the Great White North — unless you knew that one of the owners is French-Canadian, with a soft spot for loose cheese curds on crisp fries. Unlike the top-heavy dinosaur once prepared by The Inn LW12 (but now extinct), the only other component of Sheep Station's trim, classic poutine ($6) is a thin brown peppery sauce.
Some customers order the poutine for takeaway, I'm told, with sauce on the side to be heated later; to me, it seems ideal for this Australian restaurant's front barroom, though I have yet to determine the perfect poutine-to-pint proportion.

Have you tried the poutine at Pommes Frites in the EV?

No, but based on the mayo-based toppings and thick fries that I've tried, for poutine Pommes Frites wouldn't measure up. They do deliver value for your dollar, though.
