Frite Alors

Le meilleur choix chez Frites Alors… Leur sandwich au fromage fondu (grill Cheese).

Les frites sont bonnes. Un choix varié de sauces. Lea burger sont servis dans un pain ciabata.
Il a meilleur dans cette rue pleine de vie.

Surprised at the reviews. Got the burger as per the waiters suggestion-​dry terrible beef and tasteless fries. My friends got the poutine… over all «meh». Its one of those meals you don’t finish unless you’re starved because it’s just not worth it’s weight in calories. Will not be going back.

great place for poutine. Not the best fries (not double fried/​as crispy as I wish), but they had a lot of poutine options and prices were good. the pesto rose and frite alors sauces were really good, and the beeeerger was delicious

Un classique, pour manger de bonnes frites! :)
Il y en a pour tous les goûts, différentes sortes et différentes sauces
Super en cas de hangover ;)

I had La Frites Alors poutine which comes with bacon, sautéed onions and mushrooms, and of course cheese curd and brown sauce. It was delicious, and there was lots of it!
The service was very good as well; I’ll definitely be back!

This was, without a doubt, the most over hyped, over priced, and under-​satisfying poutine in all of Montréal.
With so many options, there’s no need to stop here for even a second. Think of this as the McDonalds of Poutine, but then imagine it priced at the level of fine dining.
If you find yourself here, do yourself a favour and walk away. There are other alternatives within a two block radius, I assure you.

Les Poutines sont bonnes et j’ai apprécié les bières locale ! De plus l’accueil est chaleureux et l’ambiance bande dessiné est cool !

We chose this restaurant at random, based on a handful of factors. It was close to our hotel; it was close to a metro station; they had things other than poutine on the menu; they were open.
We needed a quick but hearty meal before heading to a music festival the morning we stopped here, and in that we weren’t disappointed. The restaurant was one of few along the Rue Saint-​Denis that were open at the time, and we didn’t really want to spend too much time wandering when we had a trip to manage.
So, we entered the establishment and walked up the stairs to be greeted and seated by one of the waitresses working that day. She gave us a small table next to the windows, so we were able to watch the street wake up.
The menu, as I mentioned, featured items other than poutine, and though that was my requirement for the day, what did I end up ordering but a variation of poutine! We placed our orders — a Mexican version for me (meat, salsa, guacamole and salsa, complete with one tortilla chip), and the L’eau à la Bush for him (steak, onions and mushrooms). Much as we wanted to add a beer to our order, we both abstained and went with just water, instead. We were planning on being in the sun at the festival all day, after all, and wanted to be as hydrated as possible going in.
The restaurant is rather large, and very bright and airy, thanks to the large windows. It was nice sitting there, enjoying the breeze and people-​watching. I enjoyed that part very much.
Our food came out pretty quickly, and I was surprised by the servings. Initially, I thought they were kind of small, but once we dug in, I realized how deceptive looks can be. There was a lot of food there!
So yes, they were fries, and probably not the healthiest of choices, but it was pretty dang good. My version was like a taco on fries, plus the brown gravy that seems to be everywhere. I didn’t think I’d enjoy it quite as much as I did, especially given the fact that I didn’t think brown gravy would pair with things like sour cream and guacamole. Silly me.
My husband’s meal was a bit more «typical», with meat and sauce mixed in with his fries. He enjoyed his tremendously, and put a pretty good dent into his bowl. I didn’t do quite so well with mine — it was a lot of food, I tell ya! — but I certainly was full by the time I tapped.
The waitress was friendly, and kept coming by to ensure our water glasses were full, and to check on us. It was nice, considering there were only three other tables occupied at that time.
Overall, it was a good, quick, cheap experience that filled us up and helped us prep for the day ahead. Random it might have been, I am glad we ended up here.

Super solid poutine! Our waiter patiently helped us Anglos through the options on the menu. We ended up with two delicious local brews and two fantastic poutines. The Vladimir (Classique) was delicious with loads of cheese curds and gravy. I devoured the Poutine de porc éfiloché with its duck fat fries and mound of excellent pulled pork on top. We left very satisfied with food, drinks, and service. Looking for good poutine? This is a good place to start!

Local Québécoise beers, fries-​poutine combos for days, burgers, sandwiches, fresh salads, and free wifi. What could be better? I’ll take a side of poutine with my burger, s’il vous plaît! I split a L’Hambourgeois outfitted with a ciabatta bun, subbed the salad/​fries option with a side of classic gravy-​curds poutine. While I’m no stranger to poutine, my stateside experience has always been some elevated gastropub reinterpretation. It was nice to go classic. The fries were deliciously crisped and held up well against the gravy. As for the burgers– move aside ketchup– they’re dressed from their lengthy sauce list. I also got a separate salad order and was impressed by the freshness. Who raves about a salad at a fries place? This girl.
While Saint-​Denis is lined with eateries aplenty, Frite Alors was a great choice.

Poutine! I love poutine. Carbs (potato), fat (cheese curds), and protein (cheese curds and if you add a topping of real meat). What is there not to like?
I got the poutine topped with pulled pork. The pulled pork was cooked and sauced excellently. At no point did I feel the pork was dry. They used some kind of sweet sauce, which combined with the poutine’s gravy to make a sort of sweet poutine, which is unlike any other poutine I’ve had before. Would I have it again? Probably not, but that’s just because I prefer salty poutine.
The fries were cooked Belgian-​style, which in my opinion is the only valid way to do fries for poutine. (Thin fries, e.g. McDonalds, don’t hold up well to gravy.) The fries were cooked very nicely, with a very crisp exterior and a soft interior that wasn’t undercooked.

Please pay no attention to the fact that the average rating is 4 out of 5.
Every time to travel to Montréal from New York we go to this place to sample the superb poutine, excellent fries, fantastic burgers (the one I had last time was probably the best burger I’ve had in years) and tasty local draft beer. This is our favorite place to eat on St Denis. I highly recommend it.

Been here a couple times now. Burgers are very good and fries excellent. The variety of sauces offered makes for a different experience each time.
The service is quick and staff effecient and polite.
I will be back again.

In search of poutine. Showed up at 10:35pm. Restaurant was 95% full. They decided to shut down early because they were too full. Usually closes at 11pm.
Strange, why would a business turn away revenue.

I thought I would have my final meal before departing, at this location in search of the perfect poutine. I ordered the smoked meat poutine. The portion seemed small. The fries were good but they barely gave me any gravy… like two drops. If they had given me a full scoop of gravy, it might have tasted better, but it was so dry. Where’s the sauce???
My waiter Mathieu was very friendly, so for that, I gave 3 stars.

I was visiting Montréal earlier this week with my wife and we went to this Frites Alors location — largely because we had walked by this and other locations and were intrigued by the concept. Upon arriving, we were greeted warmly in both official languages.
After being seated, our server — who also spoke to us in both official languages — was very prompt and taking our drink order. After bringing the drinks, he was quite helpful in terms of answering questions about the menu.
The meal itself was delicious. The poutine here was some of the best that we have ever had, and their sandwiches were quite good as well.
We will definitely be back on our next trip to Montréal!

Okay the fries with different sauces are actually good, I enjoy their unique sauce options with plain fries.

Frite alors! c’est la brasserie/​friterie belge typique revisitée pour les Québecquois (comprendre «avec poutine»). Comme d’habitude, j’étais un peu sceptique. Les frites, ça doit pouvoir se déguster sans sauce et juste briller par sa qualité en standalone. Après, ça m’empêche pas d’apprécier des sauces, mais toujours dans un petit pot à côté pour pouvoir alterner entre avec et sans sauce. Et puis, du fromage sur des frites? wtf.
Mais j’ai essayé une poutine avec champignons, oignons et boeuf et j’ai changé d’avis. La poutine est, en fait, une idée génial. Le problème c’est qu’elle peut servir à cacher un manqué de qualité du produit (les frites par exemple) en la «noyant» sous une masse de trucs. Mais, à Frite alors!, chaque partie de la poutine et la poutine en son ensemble étaient de qualité.
Un excellent souvenir de Montréal.

I tried the hot dog, i was disappointed because it came in cibatta bread… The menu didnt have any pictures of the food, so that got me very indecisive. The sandwich had an over-​powering taste of horse radish or dijon mustard idk … on the bright side the waitress was cool, the sauce, fries we’re good. barely overpriced, not a good place to go if ur strugglin, sitck wit shitty quebecois fast-​food joints, not really .
i recommend the poutine and fries with their special aoli
— stoner approved

Fast food vraiment succulent. Les poutines et les frites sont définitivement leur spécialités. Il y a une dizaine de sauces différentes que nous pouvons essayer avec nos frites, c’est vraiment génial. Il y a aussi des possibilités végé.
Le décor est vraiment beau et branché. (Un des plus beau Frite Alors à mon avis).
Il n’y a jamais d’attente et la nourriture est toujours impeccable.

En quête d’un bon petit burger/​frites dans les rues un peu désertes de Montréal un dimanche midi, nous avons posé notre dévolu sur Une frite alors !
Le nerf de la guerre: les frites… Et bien elles sont parfaites ! Bien dorées mais un peu molles, du grand art ! Un large choix de sauces maison est proposé pour les accompagner.
Mais quelle déception pour le burger qui les accompagne: pain industriel style pavé (où est le traditionnel bun ?!), fromage tout mou… C’est très très décevant !
Côté ambiance, l’esprit se veut inspiré de l’univers de Tintin, mis à part quelques clubs d’oeils sur le menu (dont la mitraillette, LE hit des baraques à frites belges), rien dans la déco né rappelle la BD d’Hergé.
En bref, comme le nom l’indique, ici, il vaut mieux de contenter d’une frite !

Frite Alors appears to be a Montréal staple, and is one of many spots you can find their famous poutine in all shapes and sizes. I’d be lying if I said this review didn’t encompass multiple late night stops to the various locations they have around town, because when you’re experiencing Montréal nightlife for the first time and you’re ready to turn it in, you have to get your poutine fix first!
My original and most «rememberable» visit (for multiple reasons…) to this particular location was good, but not great. The service gets the job done, but was somewhat inattentive… waters left unfilled, extended time between ordering drinks and ordering the food, the usual suspects. I had a lamb burger while I was there, which tasted like a gyros inside of a bun with a different consistency. The fries, the poutine, and their variety of dipping sauces are definitely the biggest reason to come. Reserve Frite Alors as your post-​club, not your dinner, destination the next time you are in Montréal.

As European tourists, we went here to try Poutine and it was great. It’s a nice location on busy St Denis and in summer the walls to the street are open. Service was very nice and really quick. The food was also really fast.
We shared a large Poutine and a green salad between two, which was enough.
I liked their selection of beers since I am from Cologne and they sell a cologne style beer.

Loveee the décor! Nicely painted camels on the walls, cute pictures and fonts on the menu (bonus points as i’m in graphics!) and friendly waitress. Fries are crispy and crunchy, and great experience overall.
I had Le Rudolph Burger, which is moose meat (or so the menu says elk) with onion sauce (a lot of it! my hand was dripping with it), dijon, cheese, and pickles (which i took out). They don’t stinge on the condiments. I never had moose before, the texture is like beef, though it’s not beefy in taste. It doesn’t have the gross bits of tendons and fat in the burger like beef does. It’s meaty and leaner I would say. There’s not a distinctive taste to it, really. Interesting try, very filling. it was a lot of moose/​elk lol.
I dipped my fries in Pistou-​Rosé, which has mayo, basil, dried tomatoes, oil and pine nuts. Don’t regret it. It tastes greattt– kind of like hummus dip which I liked better than the other sauces like Aioli, which had more mayo than flavour.
A quirky thing i’d like to point out is the soap. Absolutely love the scent! Been trying to find the scent everywhere for years but couldn’t; it’s like a nice berry fruity mix. If anyone knows where I can get the soap, please let me know: P

Hungry after the 6 hour drive, we walked down to Rue Saint-​denis for some poutine since it was near our hotel. Waitress with friendly (this was our first restaurant experience in Montréal). I ordered the poutine with the caramelized onions and merguez sausage. The bf ordered just the classic poutine. To complete the meal we ordered a pitcher or Boreale. I wanted the Boreale noir, but the waitress said they were out, so the lager it was.
The poutine was very tasty. The curds were hot gooey, and the sausage added a nice savory element to mine. Overall, we were both pleased. The petite portions were still pretty large and satisfying, so we ended up skipping dinner that night after this late afternoon snack.

C’est super cool! Pomme Frites, mmmmmmm!!! D’accord, au revoir!

This was our first stop after dropping our things off at the hostel.
I wants me some 11pm fries + cheese curds + gravy!
The Frite Alors ($ 8.50) is topped with mushrooms, bacon, and onions. The Tunisienne ($ 9) was better, smothered in crumbled spicy merguez. Ohhhh poutine. After a long, foodless train ride, this Montréal favorite did the trick for filling our bellies with greasy, comforting goodness — though I really, really wished the toppings were hotter.
A «small» size is heavy enough to be a meal for one person. I finished an order all by myself, and consequently felt like I hated everything and wanted to lie down.
The food was 3 stars — try the Tunisienne. I’m giving 4 stars because our waiter was insanely friendly and helpful. He gave us food and beer suggestions and we got to try some local Quebec brews immediately! Blanche de Chambly is good if you like light, citrusy Belgians. Dieu du Ciel’s coffee stout was… very, very dark. $ 5.50 for a bottle of 9.5% ABV beer? Okay!

Bestes Burger Restaurant in der Gegend. Belgische Frites mit ca. 20 Saucen Variationen. Klare Empfehlung.

5 étoiles pour le Rudolph Burger !!! j’ai adoré, j’y suis allé en arrivant le premier jour, et en repartant le dernier jour !

Le cornet de frites du Frites Alors! vaut vraiment le détour! Une fois qu’on y a goûté, on en redemande! Leurs poutines sont également excellentes!

Très sympa !!
C’est dans ce restaurant que nous avons eu l’occasion de tester la fameuse poutine québecoise et nous n’avons pas été déçus :)
A noter, notre serveuse était ravissante et s’occupait très bien de nous ^^
On vous le recommande

Les meilleurs frites de Montréal, un restaurant vraiment sympa…
Plus cher qu’un Fast food, mais très abordable et d’une qualité excellente…
Espère vraiment que cette franchise débarque un jour à Paris

Excellente friterie belge?! A montreal!
J’adore le style du restaurant! Très bande dessinée, et présentation très belge des hamburgers accompagné d’excelleeeeentes friiites!!! Miam Miam je recommande!

Bön restaurant. Bön service. Certainement pas exceptionnel toutefois. Si vous lisez certaines des critiques positives, vous risquez d’avoir des attentes très élevées (comme moi) et d’être déçu. C’est un bon restaurant, sans plus.
