Overall, reviews describe Frite Alors! as a casual, spacious spot with a local, relaxed vibe and solid seating options where poutine, smash burgers, burgers, and sides are the main draw. Poutine is consistently praised, with generous toppings and flavorful cheese, and several versions including Montréalaise style are mentioned; the fries are generally crispy, and portions are described as satisfying though a few comments note small portions for certain poutines. The smash burgers are a standout, and the menu is seen as reliable with reasonable prices, a good beer and cider selection, and quick or friendly service in many visits. Attentive and professional staff appear in most reviews, though a few mention slower service or longer wait times, particularly during busy periods or for takeout. The atmosphere ranges from calm midafternoon visits to lively evenings with a pedestrian street setting and outdoor seating, and the place is described as a good option for a Montreal style casual meal that patrons would return for when in the area.
I visited this restaurant just before closing, & the service was slow. When I mentioned to the waiter that my poutine was cold, they responded with "feels hot to me" before taking it to be reheated. Disappointing experience overall.
Tourist trap - avoid at all costs!!! A $60 dollar meal netted us: 1. A small poutine with a spicy sauce & the smallest curds you've ever seen. 2. A smash burger that was tiny & a weird tasting sauce. 3. Three tiny chicken nuggets & some fries. Value for money was so atrocious both in portion sizes & taste that I feel no self-respecting Quebecer would eat here. As a tourist I fell for it but you don't have to!!

Frite Alors! ; Après toutes ces années à passer à côté d'un frites & à entendre de bon commentaires, je me suis enfin décidé à l'essayer... Verdict: Il est vrai que les frites sont parmi les meilleurs que j'ai mangé. Bonne épaisseur, croustillant à mon goût. Grand choix de mayonnaise. Avoir su plus tôt... Cependant, les aliments autres que frites & poutines sont disons discutable. Somme toute , belle ambiance & un belle terrasse bien à l'ombre pour un moment agréable.
I woke up after a night of drinking & I was craving poutine. I went to Frites Alors & found exactly what I was looking for! This restaurant is a charming little place located in the heart of Montreal, & they offer a variety of poutine options. The service was excellent, & in addition to the great service & delicious poutine, they also had an impressive beer menu. Even though it was brunch time, I couldn't resist trying one of the local brewery's beers! Quebec is definitely ahead of Ontario when it comes to beer, & I loved being able to enjoy good beer almost anywhere. The poutine I ordered had fried onions on it & it tasted amazing. I would definitely return to this place!
Première fois que je mange une poutine (en format petit). Goût agréable, après je n'ai pas d'élément de comparaison. Dommage que le service soit très long (2 serveuses seulement)
The place is a bar that serves you fries . It's all hype this is not the best place to order a poutine. Fries don't even come salted & service was terrible on Monday
J'avais pour habitude de commander les poutines chez eux mais ma dernière commande j'ai été déçu de voir la quantité de ma boîte réduit à peine la moitié de la boîte était remplie alors qu'avant la boîte était bien plus garnie par contre le prix lui reste le même. Merci mais c'était la dernière fois...
