Alto Restaurant is an absolute classic in Montreal. I visited recently & was blown away by the quality of their pizza & poutine. The portions are huge for the price you pay, making it great value for money. The vibe is very old-school diner, which really adds to the charm. I will definitely be returning next time I am in the area!
Great restaurant! The food is amazing & for such a good price. The waiter was super helpful (shoutout Kyle)! Overall loved it & will become my go to place!

Wow! Amazing Pizza & pasta, good prices too & great service. Had the All Dressed Pizza & lasagna which was fantastic- nice ice cold beer too - just what we needed after our flight into Montreal!
We brought a group of 42 people-mostly students-for dinner & had an absolutely outstanding experience. From the outset, the pre-service was excellent: we were able to place our order ahead of arrival, & everything was ready & organised when we got there.
Two members of staff were dedicated entirely to our group & could not have been more helpful. We had a few students with specific dietary requirements, & the team handled these with great care & sensitivity. The service was friendly, efficient, & incredibly professional throughout.
The food was excellent. Portion sizes were generous, the pizza was superb (as many other reviews have also noted), & every dish served to the pupils was thoroughly enjoyed. It's rare to see a group of teenagers this happy & well-fed!
This is an ideal place for anyone organising a school group visit to Montreal-you would struggle to find better in terms of service, food quality, & atmosphere, especially at such a reasonable price. I also visited as an individual while planning our tour, & even then, when staff didn't know I was connected to a larger booking, the service was equally impressive.
Excellent value, fantastic food, & a truly exceptional team-highly recommended.
Food used to be better. They used to have crispy french fries, like the ones you'd get at Costo, now they have the same generic QualiFresh fries that every restaurant in town has..big downgrade. Whoever made the call to switch, messed up. The attitude you get when you inquire anything is also off putting. I recently called to place an order for one of their subs. When I asked if I could have only cheese on one side of the sandwich, due to the fact my girlfriend is lactose intolerant, I was told it wasn't possible. Not possible to put cheese on only one side of the sandwich? Gimme a break, anything is possible. Especially for the price. You'd think they'd be able to accommodate their clientele instead of being sticklers for something as simple as "half cheese"...shame. Response to the Owner: I appreciate your reply, however I've been working in kitchens for over 15 years. Dealt with every kind of accommodation. You never tell a client you can't deliver on a simple request because you have too many orders? With other accommodations? You're telling me every order that was placed at 9pm Tuesday October 29th 2024 had special accommodations? & due to that your cooks couldn't handle cheese on one side of a sandwich? The best way to avoid errors is to not make it too hard for the kitchen staff? Common. That's part of the job. Mistakes happen sure, but that doesn't mean you should just not accommodate clients..that's how you lose them.
surprisingly really decent pizza. much better than dominos or equivalent for a similar price. service is friendly but was checking up too often - made it seem like they wanted us to leave or order more drinks when we only spent 30-40 minutes there & store wasnt full at all.
