I got to try this place because of its proximity to the hotel I was staying at. To my surprise, it happened to be the place that had the best poutine I've tried in Montreal. We got smoked meat and pulled bbq poutine. Both were impressive and the fries felt like they just came out from the frier, something I have not seen in the other times I've tried pouting in Montreal.
If I go back I know I'll have to pay it a visit again. -

I visited this location of the Frite Alors! chain yesterday, and was definitely happy about my dish choice! I ordered the Texan BBQ Hamburger, which contained beef, bacon, gruyere, mushrooms, and was topped with a sprinkle of BBQ sauce. It was served with the classical french fries cone, and I asked for a side of Pistou Rosé mayonnaise.
Everything was served warm and in a very reasonable time delay (which was great because I was actually in a hurry). The mayonnaise was absolutely awesome; the burger tasty and well-seasoned.
Having already visited another location (i.e. The tiny piece of restaurant on St-Charles St. in the Old Longueuil, on the South shore), I was able to compare both experiences. Although I found that the food was definitely better at the Ste-Catherine W. location, the atmosphere was, without doubt, more familiar at the other location.
Still, I would recommend both to anyone - What can I do, their fries are just TOO GOOD! -

Oy! Another burger another disappointment. The old lady said it best... WHERE'S THE BEEF? Right sized burger but it was probably a 10/1 patty. The rest was all condiments and sauces. The bun was pretty good though, a would-be Ciabatta bread but not as dense or tough. Some spanky sauce, over-dilled dill pickles. And Emmental? Really? All the topings were so overpowering that I couldn't even taste the patty, it's like the main component of the burger was a mere afterthought.
The poutine... I asked for a small poutine and yet it was a meal in itself. It was ok but as a non-traditional poutine goes, they need to go to La Banquise and study up. Burger meat, onions, and shrooms. But a lot of Meh also. It was OK but not very impressive. Although my friend's pull-pork poutine was pretty tasty though.
BONUS: Large selection of Steward's pop. -

Came here for my first taste of poutine and was not disappointed. The staff were very friendly and considerate. The food was perfect. I wish I lived in Montreal, I'd go here every week!

I've visit this chain multiple times on my visit to Montreal. This was the first stop when my boyfriend and I arrived and it'll stay in our heart.
Cute little "fast food" chain even though there's nothing fast food about it. Serves a wide variety of burgers and poutine. Gosh, their fries are to die for. Absolutely best fries I have ever had, the best!
We ordered the Le Rudolph Burger (reindeer burger indeed, unless you want to call it caribou) and the Toulouse Sausage which was made of garlic and white wine. The caribou burger was really good, the meat patty was cooked nicely and was really tender. Didn't take too much chewing for a burger. The sausage was on the bland side, tasted quite healthy which is the total opposite of what I had in mind when it comes to sausages. But the fries, whoaaa... the best thing on earth. Light and crispy, even after an hour of sitting there eating, the fries were still light and crispy... how does that work?!
Service was alright, waiter was friendly and helped us with some things on the menu. The atmosphere was trendy and chic, definitely for the young crowd. Luh-uv this place. -

Upon arriving to Montreal, the first thing on our minds were poutine, so after quickly yelping, we found this place that specializes in the gravy fries goodness. After walking around St. Cat's and not being able to find this place, we just settled for Peel's Pub. It's okay though we were able to find this place the next day, hidden in the downstairs on St. Cat's. Even though we weren't too hungry at the time, we still managed to stomach a big plate of poutine. I ordered the poutine with beef, mushrooms, and onions. The food was okay, way toooo much ground beef more than the fries itself. The cheese was chunky, meat was salty, and the gravy was almost non-existent. After picking off my friend's plate, I came to the conclusion that poutine should be simpl, just gravy and cheese. If you're into all the extras with your poutine give it a shot, and if fries aren't your flavor, they also burgers and more.

Frite Alors offers quite good poutine at a reasonable price. Their poutines offer interesting combinations... I had the La Tunisienne with Merguez (Tunisian lamb/beef sausage) and onions which match perfectly with the delicious gravy and melty cheese curds! However, even the frites themselves are very good with the multiple combinations of sauces offered for a Belgian-style feast. A decent selection of bottled Belgian beers, however it could be better. I also like the graphic art reminiscent of Asterix on the walls-- gives the ambiance a lift.
