Reviews consistently celebrate Alfa as a standout poutine spot on the south shore and in the Montreal area, with generous portions, abundant cheese curds, and rich, well balanced gravy, complemented by crispy fries and solid smoked meat and hot dog options. The dining experience is described as fast, efficient, and friendly, even when busy, with many noting long lines but quick service and a welcoming atmosphere; cleanliness and a simple, casual setting are also praised. While a few opinions call the hype excessive or the sauce a bit thick or overly cheesy for personal taste, the consensus remains that Alfa delivers on the fundamentals and offers great value for the price, making it a top choice for poutine lovers and a reliable option for takeout or dine-in, with updates like card payments improving convenience.
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
