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.
$12 for the petite (small) poutine - & it's massive ! The most cheese I've ever had on a poutine , I couldn't believe it. Squeaky, real quality curds. The sauce is on the tangy side & I liked that. The staff are not friendly but that adds to the flavour lol this is a must try for a classic poutine !
Une des deux poutines a malheureusement eu la fin de batch de frites. Donc une des deux était très bien & l autre très décevant. Pas à placer dans mes top 3 poutines
La meilleure poutine du coin est là-bas! Je fais 45 min de route pour y aller & je ne regrette rien à chaque fois! Le format de poutine est remplis au rebord. Frites croustillantes & fromage frais & leur sauce BBQ est excellente. Mon copain capote sur leur poutine 1/2-1/2 (sauce bbq & italienne) Je recommande! :)
It had been a while since I went to this place I often went to in my childhood & youth. I learned that memories are often better as such. A mountain of french fries does not justify the price of the smoked meat plate which was, in my humble opinion, sub par.

j'aimerais donner plus. les frites & la quantité généreuse de fromage sont la bienvenues & se serait une extraordinaire poutine si la sauce ne serait pas aussi dégoûtante. Aussi argent comptant seulement en 2024? allo? edit: tabarnak jsuis aller sur la bol au moins 3 fois pis j'ai mal au ventre depuis que je l'ai mangé
On avait tant vanté l'endroit pour être l'un des meilleurs resto à poutine de la rive-sud. Un brin decu. Un endroit avec une déco des années 90, ne prend aucune carte de service. Un peu cher pour ce qu'on a (une liqueur fontaine à un peu plus de 4$) & la poutine était bonne mais pas mon genre mettons. Bonne quantité de fromage, mais celui ci n'est pas très goûteux & la sauce est très salée. Bref je ne comprend pas très bien pourquoi le buzz autour de cet endroit
I tried their poutine, which they are known for. But i thought it was just okay. Yes it has a lot of squeaky cheese, which is great. But their sauce is light & flavourless. The fries were too mushy. The price is 12$ with tax.
Service rapide même en heure de pointe. Bouffe pas cher & généreuse sur les portions. (Une grosse poutine ailleurs est un repas mais chez Alfa c'est immense)
