Alfa is widely praised as a poutine powerhouse on the south shore and beyond, with poutine described as extremely cheesy, generous with cheese curds, and accompanied by fries that are crispy on the outside and tender inside, and sauces ranging from classic to BBQ and Italian that add depth; steamies and smoked meat sandwiches receive equally high marks, and the overall menu is noted for solid value and big portions that can stand as a meal on their own. Service is repeatedly described as fast, friendly, and efficient, with staff and cooks delivering consistent quality in a convivial, classic casse-croute setting, and the atmosphere is often described as clean and welcoming even when busy. A few caveats include occasional crowding, parking challenges, and a historical cash only policy that some reviewers mention, though updates show card payments are now often accepted. The restaurant is considered a staple, frequently called the best poutine in the region or province by many, with customers returning regularly for poutine, hot dogs, subs, and smoked meat.
Argent comptant seulement?
il y a un guichet dans le fond du restaurant à 2$ de frais qui appartient sûrement au propriétaire

Up there with the best poutines in Quebec, in an authentic 70s dinner atmosphere with the order callouts & very nice cooks! They now also take credit cards!
Excellente poutine, un solide 9/10, certainement la meilleure de la région métropolitaine. Énormément de fromage, un bon squick squick même tard en soirée. La sauce est bonne, bien épaisse, avec une petite touche poivrée qu'on apprécie. Les frites sont parfaites, un peu crispy à l'extérieur mais pas trop. La sauce aurait pu être un tout petit peu plus chaude, j'aime ça quand ça fond un ptit peu l'extérieur du fromage, sans que ça perde son squick.
Le staff était super sympathique & le décor était classique casse croûte. Ça vaut absolument le détour.
Endroit commun, propre. Style casse croute, & non restaurant. Personnel accueillant, gentil, bon service au comptoir. Pas beaucoup de place de stationnement. Très bonne poutine, frites bien cuites, beaucoup de fromage frais, & suffisament de sauce😋. J'accorde un 9/10 & recommande.
