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.
Une des meilleures places pour manger de la poutine à Longueuil. Les patates sont excellentes & le service de restauration est rapide. Il y a de fois des filles d'attente, mais ça ne prend pas longtemps avant que l'on passe pour commander. Excellent endroit pour s'initier à la poutine & manger en famille. 4/5 en général. Très bonne dernière expérience. 4/5 pour la cuisine. Les mets sont bons &, en général, atteignent les attentes de votre palais 4/5 pour le service. Prévoyez avoir de l'argent en comptant, payer avec votre carte de débit/crédit n'est pas encore un service incorporé. 3/5 pour l'ambiance. Lorsque le restaurant est rempli, le déplacement à l'intérieur peut être limité.
généreuses portions, super service super propre nous reviendrons c'est certain. & très abordable! 21$ pour le tout plus un grand breuvage avec refill. merci beaucoup

I was told by a friend to come enjoy a poutine here at "Alfa" he said they serve the best poutine I had to come & find out by myself. The price is pretty good for the food. It's just that when you order a drink at 3.45$, even a 500ml bottle of 💧 water😬 is like OKAY. "GOT THEM." 🥴.

I've been meaning to visit this place for the longest time to try their poutine, which many consider as the best in Greater Montreal. I went & tried it 2 months ago, & I can understand the hype. The portion of fresh curds was more than generous, & the fries were above average, but the sauce had a sweetness to it & was on the runny side, which isn't my type. Overall, it's one of the best poutines I've had. The chicken burger that I had with the poutine was unremarkable. I would come back for their poutine👍
As a fan of poutine, I was looking for something simple & authentic. I saw this place recommended from Reddit. I got a regular poutine & oh la la...I was surprised by the serving of the dish for a small size. I loved the crispiness of the fries, the smoothness of the gravy, & the amount of cheese curds. Definitely would try it again when I am around the area!
On m'avais dit que la poutine était bonne, elle était excellente & très généreuse en tout, mais surtout en fromage. J'aurais tendance a dire que j'ai manquer de frite pour finir mon fromage hahaha
Literally a line out the door, but they move so fast it takes very little time to get you order! When bringing someone to Montreal for thier first time... you go to Alpha for your poutine.
