Darn tasty poutine I must say. Brown gravy had a touch of spice. Cole slaw was mild and paired nicely with my poutine. Nice outdoor space & great service. read more

I'm not sure if I was just really hyped up for this, but we honestly didn't like the Canadian poutine at all. The fries were soggy and tasted old, the gravy was bland with no flavor, and the cheese was just... okay. I guess it's one of those "Canada must-try" foods you check off the list, but for me, it's a one-and-done. Definitely wouldn't order it again. location was great tho! read more

Food was amazing. Kids loved the Montreal style hamburgers and trying poutine for the first time. Good deal splitting 1 smash burger with 1 small classic poutine between them. I enjoyed that my burger came on a bagel (??) and the "americaine" sauce which was recommended was great. Service could not have been friendlier or nicer, thank you! read more

I will never claim to understand Montreal's obsession with French Fries... oh wait, they are "French" I think I just got it. Regardless, this local chain is great. They've got great food, with a great menu, and it's a perfect place to pop in for some relief from the festivals. The poutine menu is comparable to any that you may find elsewhere, only you probably won't have to wait 30 minutes to get in (if you know which place I'm talking about). It's one of our new favorites. read more

First meal in Montreal! We saw this poutine chain all across the city and it opened late so decided to give it a try. We ordered the bacon poutine and it was delicious! My partner said to know if it's a good poutine or not the cheese curd will squeak when you bite into it. I laughed at his comment but just when I took a bite immediately after - I heard the magical *squeak*. So I guess he wasn't joking. The staffs were so friendly and attentive. They kept filing our water which was very vital considering how much sodium is in this dish. Would highly recommend coming to this place, they have many poutine choices to pick from! The only downside is they don't have a duck poutine option. read more

Possibly the worst hamburger on Mother Earth. 100% that pink slime stuff you've all read about or have seen those gross documentaries on what they used for fast food beef, and it ain't beef. Burger almost tasted like it was boiled, not broiled. And I'm totally serious. The milk shake (for a hefty price of $7.50) was 99% milk, 1% ice cream. Nasty, just nasty. And just when things couldn't get worse, they did. The obnoxious college/high school crowd surrounded us on all sides, and we're not talking Harvard or Yale here. Don't be fooled by the lines, just don't be fooled. There are plenty of other options on this block. Nice there's outdoor seating though. read more

Good burger and fries, and fun to eat outside on a closed street. Mellow st lunchtime.

Smash burger and regular poutine was amazing. The service was so fast, perfect English, and so helpful. We stumbled into this place after a long long travel day. We wanted anything on our stomachs at that point, but we were so surprised with how good this was. We wished we had ordered more by the time we demolished all of the food! read more

What a great concept ruined by bad service. Poorly received by someone who seemed to be the manager. They made a mistake on our bill. No apology, just here's some cash and it wasn't even enough. I know our French isn't great but no one needs to be treated this way. Food was good by the way, but why would I go back? read more

Delicious poutine and the service was on point. When I saw that our server had a Back to the Future shirt on I knew this was gonna be a fun place. This place actually bills itself I found this place on Yelp and it was super easy to walk to from the main train station: Berry-UQAM. Once inside the hardest decision was trying to decide on what to eat because there were so many different flavours and foods available (Belgian style fries, poutine, burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches). As this was a midday snack, I opted for a "La Vladimir" poutine that also came in a petit (small) size. My fries came drenched in gravy with some classic cheese curds a fork stabbed through the middle ready to go. The server was great I initially asked for a table and ordered in French but then she spoke French back to me and I didn't realize she was asking me what I would like to drink so she switched to English without skipping a beat. She also checked if everything was OK after our first few bites and topped up our waters regularly. I wasn't expecting that for a casual poutine restaurant so her efforts were much appreciated. Thank you for a delicious poutine experience. read more

I went there for the famous Belgian fries but got impressed by their burger also (yes they insist on the name Belgian instead of French fries). The burger Le Pâturage was pretty tasty with tender beef and decent bread. Without doubt the fries were also quite delicious, especially going well with their dipping sauce. I ordered the sauce Béarnaise, which definitely enhances the flavour of the fries. Recommend! read more

Stopped in for lunch while in Montreal. Was seated quickly and service was great. We got the lunch special which was a burger and fries. It was delicious. My wife was thrown by them serving mayo as the condiment for the fries. But it made the fries taste so much better. Next time we are in town can't wait to try some other versions of their fries as its their stable. Also they use disposable paper straws so drink your soda fast! :) read more

For my first trip to Canada I knew I poutine had to be one of my first meals. I had seen Frite Alors on Yelp before my trip and it just so happened that where we stayed in Montreal was right around the corner from this location - so it was an easy decision for our first lunch after arriving. The restaurant is charming and casual, definitely kid-friendly and relaxed. We sat at the counter and got some drinks .. the cider was yummy! And the waiters were friendly enough. The poutine was yummy - I obviously did not have much to compare it too but in my mind, where can it go wrong? Fries, cheese curds, gravy and meat! Yum. Definitely a good casual spot to try. read more

For my first poutine experience in Canada, I couldn't have been more pleased. Frite Alors has so many variety of poutine that it was difficult for my friend and I to choose, but we eventually settled on the La Montréalais and La Menace Nucléaire, and got the dessert poutine to finish- far too much food for the two of us, but no regrets. La Montréalais was piled with meat for which we had heard Montreal was famous for, and each bite was satisfyingly meaty and smoky, with the signature cheesy squeak that is signature of a good poutine. La Menace Nucléaire was surprisingly delicious and the flavors were quite authentic- as a Korean, I was more than happy to munch on delicious kimchi and bulgogi as a poutine topping. The bulgogi was sweet, as it should be, and the kimchi tasted stir-fried beforehand, also giving it a sweeter, more rounded flavor profile that is friendlier to those not as accustomed to the taste. The dessert poutine was a little disappointing- I was hoping for something more compelling, but it felt very much like my child self dipping fries into my milkshake- there wasn't much connecting the fries to the ice cream. Would I go back? Absolutely- I would love to try the other flavors, and it's a shame we didn't have a chance to return while in Canada. read more

My first poutine in Quebec came from Frite Alors. While walking to my work activities, I kept noticing their cute sign since it seemed like the fries were screaming "frite alors!" at me. When the server came by, I asked her what her favorite poutine was and she quickly and confidently responded with the taco poutine (ground beef, spices, grilled onions, avocados, tomatoes, sour cream, Mexican spicy sauce and nachos). My colleague ordered the la cochonne (fatty bacon and onion, fun fact: I found out cochonne means whore). My favorite loaded fries type-a dish is carne asada fries from San Diego, which consist of crispy fries (thinner than what you'd find in poutine) topped with guacamole, sour cream, carne asada (steak), pico de gallo, salsa, and shredded cheese. The fries are served hot, so if you keep the to-go box closed for a minute, the cheese will melt deliciously on top. Overall, the fries were a great consistency but I'm not sure if the blend of flavors with the taco poutine work for me. It reminds me of a Canadian version of carne asada fries, which just meant a thicker fry and gravy and cheese curds added to the above toppings. I wasn't crazy about the gravy flavors combined with the Mexican "spicy" sauce (salsa) and the texture of the curds was a little out of place. I put the spicy in quotations because for my spice lovers, it wasn't very spicy at all. I loved the cochonne though! The bacon and the onions were delicious with the fries and the curds. RESULTS: - For me, this place is a 3.5 rounded up to 4. I would take my review with a grain of salt though because I have not eaten poutine many times in my life. - Good place for poutine (though, not the best) and the cocktails are reasonably priced. - Quick and kind service! read more

We chose this restaurant at random, based on a handful of factors. It was close to our hotel; it was close to a metro station; they had things other than poutine on the menu; they were open. We needed a quick but hearty meal before heading to a music festival the morning we stopped here, and in that we weren't disappointed. The restaurant was one of few along the Rue Saint-Denis that were open at the time, and we didn't really want to spend too much time wandering when we had a trip to manage. So, we entered the establishment and walked up the stairs to be greeted and seated by one of the waitresses working that day. She gave us a small table next to the windows, so we were able to watch the street wake up. The menu, as I mentioned, featured items other than poutine, and though that was my requirement for the day, what did I end up ordering but a variation of poutine! We placed our orders - a Mexican version for me (meat, salsa, guacamole and salsa, complete with one tortilla chip), and the L'eau à la Bush for him (steak, onions and mushrooms). Much as we wanted to add a beer to our order, we both abstained and went with just water, instead. We were planning on being in the sun at the festival all day, after all, and wanted to be as hydrated as possible going in. The restaurant is rather large, and very bright and airy, thanks to the large windows. It was nice sitting there, enjoying the breeze and people-watching. I enjoyed that part very much. Our food came out pretty quickly, and I was surprised by the servings. Initially, I thought they were kind of small, but once we dug in, I realized how deceptive looks can be. There was a lot of food there! So yes, they were fries, and probably not the healthiest of choices, but it was pretty dang good. My version was like a taco on fries, plus the brown gravy that seems to be everywhere. I didn't think I'd enjoy it quite as much as I did, especially given the fact that I didn't think brown gravy would pair with things like sour cream and guacamole. Silly me. My husband's meal was a bit more "typical", with meat and sauce mixed in with his fries. He enjoyed his tremendously, and put a pretty good dent into his bowl. I didn't do quite so well with mine - it was a lot of food, I tell ya! - but I certainly was full by the time I tapped. The waitress was friendly, and kept coming by to ensure our water glasses were full, and to check on us. It was nice, considering there were only three other tables occupied at that time. Overall, it was a good, quick, cheap experience that filled us up and helped us prep for the day ahead. Random it might have been, I am glad we ended up here. read more

Really good fries. As non Canadians it was a very nice place to try poutine. They also have a location in Lyon France which is also good.

This establishment was perfect for the 2 hours of down time my friends and I had before hitting the road back to the states! Nothing to note as far as decor .... It's a place for a quick bite and I had to have the poutine before we left ... after all it's the food of my people ( I am half French/Canadian) The staff was very friendly and curtious. The only thing is that it was cold out that morning and they had all the front awnings open, like open to the cold, outside air... so dress warm! read more

The Fries here are totally delicious! Very broad range of dips and sauces - i like that! Also, they offer a selection of craft beer in three different sizes. In the Summer, you can sit outside on theit neat porch. Staff is friendly and the shirts are funny. I can't really complain. Despite the fact, that they don't offer a vegetarian poutine. I was really craving for one. But the fries and the ipa was good too! read more

Frite Alors - The taco poutine - Burgers Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

This was our first stop after dropping our things off at the hostel. I wants me some 11pm fries + cheese curds + gravy! The Frite Alors ($8.50) is topped with mushrooms, bacon, and onions. The Tunisienne ($9) was better, smothered in crumbled spicy merguez. Ohhhh poutine. After a long, foodless train ride, this Montreal favorite did the trick for filling our bellies with greasy, comforting goodness - though I really, really wished the toppings were hotter. A "small" size is heavy enough to be a meal for one person. I finished an order all by myself, and consequently felt like I hated everything and wanted to lie down. The food was 3 stars - try the Tunisienne. I'm giving 4 stars because our waiter was insanely friendly and helpful. He gave us food and beer suggestions and we got to try some local Quebec brews immediately! Blanche de Chambly is good if you like light, citrusy Belgians. Dieu du Ciel's coffee stout was... very, very dark. $5.50 for a bottle of 9.5% ABV beer? Okay! read more

We wanted poutine. None of the reviews around the hotel we were staying in were raving. Here, they should have been. Aside from the fact that the waitress stopped speaking to me in French the moment she realized it wasn't my first language, and the completely nonsensical comics about colonialism on the walls, this place was everything we were looking for, and so much more-- especially quantity-wise. My boyfriend got a veggie burger, which is always geocached away in Montreal, and it was delicious. The salad it came with had a bizarre mustardy dressing, but who eats salad when you get a GIANT TERRINE OF POUTINE? We got the one with mushrooms, onions, and peppers (asked for no bacon), and attacked it. The gravy was hearty, and the mixture of soggy fries with crispy ones-- could I make it sound any tastier?-- was unlike anything we can get in California. I'm completely unclear why. The mushrooms were a brilliant addition, too. We were hurtin after we downed the entire thing, in the best of ways. And despite all the warnings, I have yet to have a heart attack. I'll keep you posted. read more

I got a classic poutine to go, which may have been some of the best I had while in Montreal. The fries stayed reasonably crispy even though I waited a bit before eating. The gravy wasn't overly-peppery like some of the others I had. Overall, pretty satisfied I'd say. read more

Frite Alors - Classic Poutine - Frite Alors - Burgers Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Local Québécoise beers, fries-poutine combos for days, burgers, sandwiches, fresh salads, and free wifi. What could be better? I'll take a side of poutine with my burger, s'il vous plaît! I split a L'Hambourgeois outfitted with a ciabatta bun, subbed the salad/fries option with a side of classic gravy-curds poutine. While I'm no stranger to poutine, my stateside experience has always been some elevated gastropub reinterpretation. It was nice to go classic. The fries were deliciously crisped and held up well against the gravy. As for the burgers-- move aside ketchup-- they're dressed from their lengthy sauce list. I also got a separate salad order and was impressed by the freshness. Who raves about a salad at a fries place? This girl. While Saint-Denis is lined with eateries aplenty, Frite Alors was a great choice. read more

Loveee the decor! Nicely painted camels on the walls, cute pictures and fonts on the menu (bonus points as i'm in graphics!) and friendly waitress. Fries are crispy and crunchy, and great experience overall. I had Le Rudolph Burger, which is moose meat (or so the menu says elk) with onion sauce (a lot of it! my hand was dripping with it), dijon, cheese, and pickles (which i took out). They don't stinge on the condiments. I never had moose before, the texture is like beef, though it's not beefy in taste. It doesn't have the gross bits of tendons and fat in the burger like beef does. It's meaty and leaner I would say. There's not a distinctive taste to it, really. Interesting try, very filling. it was a lot of moose/elk lol. I dipped my fries in Pistou-Rosé, which has mayo, basil, dried tomatoes, oil and pine nuts. Don't regret it. It tastes greattt- kind of like hummus dip which I liked better than the other sauces like Aioli, which had more mayo than flavour. A quirky thing i'd like to point out is the soap. Absolutely love the scent! Been trying to find the scent everywhere for years but couldn't; it's like a nice berry fruity mix. If anyone knows where I can get the soap, please let me know :P read more

Pretty much what you would expect for a french fry specialty place with burgers and some other sandwiches. They have a very nice selection of flavored mayonnaise for dipping french fries. Good selection of burgers and other sandwiches. Service was very good. Reasonably clean. Specifically, burgers were overcooked and dry. Fries were reasonable but not outstanding. No alternatives to french fries such as sweet potato fries or onion rings. Serving sizes were generous. read more

Super solid poutine! Our waiter patiently helped us Anglos through the options on the menu. We ended up with two delicious local brews and two fantastic poutines. The Vladimir (Classique) was delicious with loads of cheese curds and gravy. I devoured the Poutine de porc éfiloché with its duck fat fries and mound of excellent pulled pork on top. We left very satisfied with food, drinks, and service. Looking for good poutine? This is a good place to start! read more

This was, without a doubt, the most over hyped, over priced, and under-satisfying poutine in all of Montreal. With so many options, there's no need to stop here for even a second. Think of this as the McDonalds of Poutine, but then imagine it priced at the level of fine dining. If you find yourself here, do yourself a favour and walk away. There are other alternatives within a two block radius, I assure you. read more

We stopped in on a Friday afternoon to grab a poutine snack to shore up our bellies before a super late dinner reservation. Frites Alors was my favorite of the two poutine places we stopped at on this trip to Montreal. Boyfriend got the sausage and onion poutine. The gravy was really good - thin but not too watery, super flavorful and delicious. Cheese curds were good, and the onions were red which are my favorite kind, and I thought a nice touch that elevated the whole dish. The only disappointment was the sausage - the flavor was there but it was REALLY spicy, too spicy for me. I didn't want a full poutine so I just went with frites. They have a ton of different flavored mayonnaise/sauces which I just loved. I got the béarnaise mayo which was more bearnaise flavors and not the sauce itself so slightly disappointing, but still good. The service was good and there wasn't a line or wait to get in - always a plus. I'd go back! read more
