The only thing better than digging into your favorite food is digging into the largest portion you can imagine of your favorite food! If you have a spot you love, you can always order extra of the dish you crave. But where’s the fun in that? Our favorite food is pretty much always poutine and New Hampshire is one of the best places in the country to find it. If you crave it with the frequency that we do, you’ll want to visit this spot in Manchester that serves a huge portion worth traveling for!
For some of the best poutine in the state, you'll want to head to Manchester for a visit to Chez Vachon.
If you don't know what you're looking for you might pass it right by. But while the outside looks simple, inside is one of the most beloved restaurants in the state. A big part of that is their absolutely incredible poutine!
The space feels a bit old-school and that's just how we like it! Booths like the kind you might find at a burger spot decades ago offer seating and the menu is huge, but easy to navigate.
Beloved by locals, it's also a must-stop for political candidates each election year. Make sure to keep your eyes peeled when things start getting competitive if you want to catch a glimpse of your favorite candidate.
In fact, what is often considered a side dish is actually the main event here. Just look at how large the serving is compared to the rest of the plates on this table.
If the regular menu-sized poutine isn't enough, consider bellying up for the challenge. This doozy of an activity involves finishing a whopping five pounds of poutine within an hour! Think you can do it? Spoiler alert: the person in this photo didn't!
If the idea of finishing an entire plate of poutine is a bit overwhelming, consider coming in for any of the other delicious dishes they serve. From crepes to omelets, the choices here on the menu will make sure you don't leave hungry.
Chez Vachon is open every day from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. You can learn more about the restaurant and keep up with fun things happening there by following them on Facebook. The restaurant can be reached on 603-625-9660.
