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.
Went yesterday. Had a small poutine with a toasty have to say. Was. My favorite poutine. Every i think there were more curds than fries service. Was great. Fun guys behind the line will come. Back. Soon.
After hearing all the hype, finally made it out to the suburbs to try this mythical casse-croute.... Easily the best poutine in the Montreal region (the amount of cheese used is borderline obscene), big surprise was the steamies as they are also elite.
The service is fantastic as they amount of customers we saw them serve was impressive.
This is a can't miss for any fan of poutine

J'y vais depuis plus de 40 ans, ça reste incontestablement la meilleure poutine que j'ai mangé. Même si la sauce a un peu changé avec le temps, ils ont réussi à refaire la recette similaire. Toujours un plaisir d'y arrêter même si je n'habite plus la ville. Qualité/prix c'est top, surtout vu la quantité de fromage qu'ils y mettent!

Their poutine portion was generous but, it just wasn't my favorite poutine, more cheese than fries & the gravy wasn't my favorite. My steamies were great.
