Frite Alors! is commonly praised for its poutine, with many noting rich cheese, generous toppings like sausage or pulled pork, and crispy fries, though a few feel portions or cheese amounts could be larger. The menu includes smash burgers, burgers, and sides, and several reviewers highlight the burgers as a strong point and the overall quality of the accompaniments. The space is described as spacious and casual, with indoor and patio seating and a relaxed street vibe that makes for a comfortable visit. Service is generally friendly and efficient, but experiences vary from quick attendance to longer wait times or delays with orders, especially during busy periods. Value is often described as reasonable, with good drink options and predictable lunchtime specials, although a vegetarian option is sometimes lacking and a few days are noted as off days affecting overall quality. Overall, many reviewers would return for the poutine or burgers, while acknowledging that the experience can depend on timing and day.
J'aurais aimé commenter… mais je n'ai jamais été servi. C'est après 50 minutes d'attente pour deux burgers avec poutine que ma conjointe & moi avons quitté, pour se rendre à la salle de spectacle située à deux pas.
Je ne comprends pas pourquoi un samedi soir, alors que le restaurant est en bonne partie occupé par des gens qui assisteront au spectacle, le personnel ne prend-il pas la peine de gérer les commandes en fonction de ceux & celles qui ont un impératif de quitter à une heure fixe.
J'ai demandé deux fois si la commande arrivait finalement, & on m'a répondu deux fois « dans 10 minutes »… & ce à 20 minutes d'intervalle…
Ceci dit, la serveuse était sympathique.
The space is quite spacious with plenty of seating. It wasn't too loud, & the place has a very local, laid back feel. I went in the early afternoon on a weekday, so it wasn't busy at all. It felt calm, quiet, & comfortable.
The menu includes poutine, smash burgers, burgers, & a few side dishes. I ordered the sausage poutine. It was really good & came with a generous amount of sausage. The food arrived quickly, about 5 minutes after ordering.
There was one male server working the floor. He was friendly, attentive, & very efficient. He moved constantly, stayed flexible, & paid attention to every table. Very professional overall.
Definitely worth trying. I would come back if I am in the area again.

It's was delicious! Cheese burger with gluten free bun, with a gf cider to wash it down!!!
I had the wonderful Ambre as my server. $ well spent....I'll be back!! Lol!
Les serveuses étaient gentilles mais l'attente était très longue. Nous avons attendu très longtemps assir & le soleil c'est presque coucher. smash burger était bon mais pour un restaurant nommé frite alors, les frite n'était pas top top. Que des petits bout un peu trop cuit, jetait chanceuse si j'avais plus de 4 frites de de plus de 2 cm.
This establishment came highly recommended from a friend who has lived in Montreal for 8 years, with a few locations around the island, we were told to patronize the St-Denis location because it has seating & is very kid friendly. The children's menu includes a poutine option for double cheese curds called LA Skouik-Skouik, I strongly recommend asking your child to pronounce it fully if you're not a native Quebecian.
The Frites are double-fried Belgian style in beef tallow, which is my favorite way to cook potatoes in general. The 100% Canadian beef burgers are also fantastic.
Strongly recommend this location if you're visiting or if you want some of the best poutine in the area (sample size=3).
The Baconsoucisse was the best poutine I had during my stay in Montreal. Service was quick, & the draught blonde beer was tasty. The smash burger was decent.

My go to for some of the best smash burger in town, easy, fast & cheap, good beer to match it with. Fries & poutine were really tasty & crispy. Wasn't busy when we went but service was fast & efficient. All in all an easy place if you're craving a burger & some fries.
Stopped here during a visit to the city on a very quiet Saturday evening. We were the only people in the restaurant ... Then, my burger arrived fairly cold but my friend's poutine seemed okay.
It took about a good 10 minutes before someone came to take our order, & there were only 3 other customers in the restaurant. Afterward, it was almost 20 minutes to get our order because, apparently, the machine did not spit out our order. The smash burger with bacon was really greasing. The fries were crispy, & the Frites, Alors sauce was spicy. I was curious about this restaurant, & I'm no longer curious. I'm not sure I'll come back.
