A restaurant in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence has stopped serving poutine

A restaurant in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence serving poutine had to stop offering this Quebec dish made with fries, gravy and cheese.

The Château-Arnoux-Saint-Auban establishment has received complaints and criticism by mail and online, reports BFM DICI.

He denounced this Monday on Facebook the "harassment" that followed.

The restaurateur explained that he respects Ukraine and that he made this decision “to avoid any misunderstanding”.
