I ordered the steak sub which was amazing! The bread was a crisp French bread with a nice crunch & the inside had warm steak with tomatos, onions, & mushrooms. It was quiet inside with a chill vibe. The service was great. We were frequently checked on for water & any empty plates. Would definitely recommend.

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!

Was super good. Had the Salisbury poutine while my partner had the Alto grilled cheese & adored it. The gravy is clearly not canned & the curds are nice & stringy. The theme of the place is very confusing because it has some tropical, some diner, some Italian vibes & also very country TV (cow wrestling) but it adds to the charm because I agree! Why pick one when you can have all the themes! Creativity has never been about limits. My only issue with the decor is that there should have been more Adam West Batman Avant Garde posters. Plaster him everywhere.

A+ great experience

Incredibly friendly (if understaffed) waitstaff. While the wait times may vary for food, the hospitality is always incredible. Food is *okay* for breakfast, but the poutine slaps me silly. Open late, good vibes, cheap food, cheap drink, friendly people.

I like this place for a few reasons:

1. It's a family-run: (I think second generation) business. Brothers, sisters, parents. They care about running the place well.
2. The food is good: The ingredients are fresh, & tasty. The beef used for the hamburger steak tastes like it's a cut above.
3. The ambiance: A bit dimly lit & a warm vibe. Classic rock at a perfect volume. Slightly louder than just a background hum.
4. It's a neighborhood institution. I used to go to Alto when I was a teen in the late 80's when it was just across the street. They've always had a friendly, family vibe. So even though they've moved & the new location is a bit more modern looking, it still brig back memories of playing pool next door when the arcade was there.
5. There's a terrace with classic rock playing.
6. They close at 2am ;)

Don't change, Alto!
