Reviews for G. Lafrite highlight hearty portions, fair prices, quick polite service, and a welcoming neighborhood vibe that feels like classic Quebec comfort food; the poutine earns frequent praise for its cheese curds and rich gravy, fries are described as outstanding, and burgers and hot dogs are reliable favorites, with many noting the casual cash only setup and a true local joint atmosphere; while a few comments mention a steamed hot dog that is bland and the slaw is overly sweet, the overall experience is viewed as worth a repeat visit and a go to spot for a quick satisfying meal.
This place is far from glamorous or fancy, in fact it looks like a old converted house, but for what it is, it's perfect. The service was extremely quick, & bilingual, no complaints there. I got home & absolutely devoured two all dressed hot dogs, & honestly one of the best poutines I've had. This isn't haute-cuisine, but the fries, gravy & curds were perfect; just the right amount of greasy & delicious. A good poutine is almost one solid chunk, & this was right on that line. Definitely must try if you're in Montreal. All the flavors of Quebec fast food absolutely done right.
