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.
Family own business, same owner for over 20 years. Love the place & the food. The only thing I would suggest would be to double bag the fries & rings since the oil breaks the bags.
Meilleure poutine peut importe ce que certains disent.... (Je les recommande ainsi que leur sous-marins...leur frites sans oublier leur hot dogs, les meilleurs en ville) Quant à leur poutine : généreuse portion & il a autant de fromage que de frites. J'ai apporté le reste que j'ai mangé le lendemain & Boy! Aussi bonne si pas meilleure. J'ai hâte d'y retourner. Je n' ai pas pour la 1ère fois manger leur hot dog: les meilleurs en ville & je le regrette...je ne ferai pas la même gaffe à la prochaine visite.... Je ne peux ajouter de photo...quand je reçois mon assiette j'ai juste hâte de le savourer que je ne pense pas à mon cell pour la photo. DSL. Allez-y vous ne le regretterez pas.
A decent place if you want to satisfy a craving or just enjoy a good old poutine. The portion are very generous. Only hic is the cheese that was a bit too chewy. The service is quite fast, so even if there's a line things usually move very fast.
One of the best poutines near montreal, & their sub is amazing too. I live in the west island but would still make the trip if i craved it. Cash only but they have an atm
Alfa's is a great little spot to pick up a poutine! Their portions are large & full of sauce & cheese, & their service is fast! Keep in mind, they only take cash, so bring some or you can use their ATM.
