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.
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.
Belle terrasse sur la rue piétonnière en été. Les smashburgers sont délicieux. Les frites sont sublimes & le service est bon. Les toilettes sont propres. Nous y reviendrons.
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.
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.
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.

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!!
