Frite Alors! définit l'expérience authentique de la friterie de style belge grâce à un engagement envers des pommes de terre à double friture, dorées et préparées selon des méthodes traditionnelles. Le menu se concentre sur des frites épaisses accompagnées d'une vaste sélection de mayonnaises spécialisées et de sauces à tremper qui élèvent ce simple en-cas au rang de pilier culinaire fondamental. Au-delà des pommes de terre emblématiques, l'établissement propose des variations copieuses de poutine garnies de fromage en grains frais et d'une sauce riche qui incarnent parfaitement la culture réconfortante du Québec. Ces offres sont complétées par une variété de sandwichs classiques et de saucisses traditionnelles qui privilégient des saveurs rustiques et des textures substantielles. L'atmosphère reflète une approche fonctionnelle et directe de la restauration rapide et savoureuse. Chaque plat priorise l'intégrité des ingrédients simples transformés par des techniques précises.

My favorite burger place in Montréal, definitely the best fries in town. (2 years ago)
The above review did not stand the test of time. Impressively dissapointed from this week's visit. burger meat was of unknown source, wet burger buns, tough fries & bare minimum service... What happened within those two years?
With a name frites you would think the fries would be decent. Soggy fries, small portions, over priced for the food you get. Better value at A&W. Waitress begging for tips. Bad experience & never again.
Took the kids here on a Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks ago & honestly it was one of those rare spots where everyone at the table was happy. The poutine was the real deal, thick gravy & squeaky curds, exactly what you want after a morning of running around the city. Staff were super friendly & patient with my two little ones who kept changing their minds about dipping sauces. We were in & out in under an hour without feeling rushed, which is basically the dream when you have kids in tow.
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.
We visited from Alberta, wanted delicious poutine while in Montreal, & were not disappointed with our experience. In fact, my friend who had not yet experienced a poutine which she enjoyed, really enjoyed it! I was delighted that she finally could understand my enjoyment of poutine. Both the poutine & the side salad that we shared were delicious! Would highly recommend this place!
The cheese they put on the poutine is fantastic, but unfortunately there just wasn't enough of it. If you get any poutine other than the one that comes with double the cheese, I'd ask for extra cheese (can't remember if that's an option when you order online though). The fries are ok, not quite as good as the cheese but not terrible either. The gravy though is where things took a turn for the worst. It just wasn't that good in my opinion. Mine also had the pulled pork on it, which was fine & a decent serving.
If they can fix the gravy & add extra cheese it would push their poutines to 5 star.
Service was fine, but this is a takeout order placed online. There was an issue with the order not being ready when I came to pick it up, even though we were late to pick it up due to traffic. They claimed there was some issue with the tickets not printing, & thankfully I didn't have to wait very long (about 10 min). Not sure if that's a common occurrence or just a one off.
