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.
Visite sur l'heure du dîner un mardi. Attente d'environ 5 min, place disponible. Personelle très courtois. Prix raisonnable. Poutine n'est pas ma préférée mais excellente quand même !
Their poutine was awesome! I wanted to try it after seeing great recommendations on Reddit from locals, & it totally lived up to the hype. We got their classic poutine, which was super tasty, & the portion was huge with tons of cheese curds. Definitely recommend it if you're looking for an authentic classic poutine.

Ce restaurant est EXCELLENT, convivial, très très bon service à chaque fois. Tout, tout vraiment tout est bon là-bas...mais j'adore la poutine classique & le sous-marin. Depuis peu, vous pouvez maintenant payer avec votre carte
(avant seulement cash). Il y a toujours beaucoup de gens là-bas surtout aux heures de pointes...
Argent comptant seulement?
il y a un guichet dans le fond du restaurant à 2$ de frais qui appartient sûrement au propriétaire
