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.
Good service & delicious food at a reasonable price. I'll definitely be coming back again to try their sandwiches! They also have a good selection of beer.
Bon service & prix raisonnable. Venez durant la semaine pour profiter du menu midi, les prix sont très bon. Bonne sélection de bière & cidre disponible.
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.
