It would make sense that since New Hampshire borders Canada, some of their iconic foods would make their way south of the border. No, I’m not talking about Tim Horton’s or apple cider vinaigrette and shallot potato chips (but those sound good too). I’m talking about the comfort food known as poutine. I mean, what’s not to love? And according to The Food Network, some of the best poutine in New Hampshire can be found in its largest city of Manchester.

Chez Vachon in Manchester may look like an unassuming establishment from the outside, but inside a classic French-Canadian side dish awaits.

Poutine is a traditional dish from north of the border that consists of french fries, cheese curds, and gravy. That's it. Simple!

The popular dish has its origins in the Province of Quebec, where it was created in the small dairy-farming town of Warwick in 1957.
