Review from Rawan K.

Walked in after having a few beers on St. Denis. The restaurant is spacious and cozy, the service is efficient and the servers maintain a friendly composition. Their french fries are made to perfection, yes... they are a little greasy on the outside but perfectly crispy and tender on the inside. I got the Mexican sauce to go with it, which was a good balance between sweet and spicy and is one of the few non-mayo based sauces. I also had the veggie burger, which tasted just about right. I enjoyed the entire meal, it hit the spot.
Being a fan of Belgian beer, I would've liked to kick a few back, but I had already drank prior to going there, so I was set for the night. Maybe next time. -

I am HUNGRY!!! I want Poutine!
Frites Alors! really hit the spot. Large Poutine Vladimir ($10) is great to share as late night snack.. the cheese curds.. I love Cheese!! Fries is cooked just right crispy outside and mushy inside...and with just the right amount of gravy!
Maybe after a drink or 2 and another beer to go with the poutine, it makes everything perfect!.
Service is efficient and friendly.
I think I am starting to entertain the idea of having Poutine and Beer as my snack of choice!
I wish I can find good Poutine in Toronto..................Listed in: A Weekend in Montreal!

We wanted poutine. None of the reviews around the hotel we were staying in were raving. Here, they should have been.
Aside from the fact that the waitress stopped speaking to me in French the moment she realized it wasn't my first language, and the completely nonsensical comics about colonialism on the walls, this place was everything we were looking for, and so much more-- especially quantity-wise.
My boyfriend got a veggie burger, which is always geocached away in Montreal, and it was delicious. The salad it came with had a bizarre mustardy dressing, but who eats salad when you get a GIANT TERRINE OF POUTINE?
We got the one with mushrooms, onions, and peppers (asked for no bacon), and attacked it. The gravy was hearty, and the mixture of soggy fries with crispy ones-- could I make it sound any tastier?-- was unlike anything we can get in California. I'm completely unclear why. The mushrooms were a brilliant addition, too. We were hurtin after we downed the entire thing, in the best of ways.
And despite all the warnings, I have yet to have a heart attack. I'll keep you posted.Listed in: Pepsi Perps

I woke up after a night of drinking and wanted poutine. Frites Alors had it, in spades! The restaurant is a cute little place in the center of montreal, they serve a number of different types of Poutine. The service was actually good, and on top of the good service and poutine they had a very good menu for beer! I know it was brunch but I couldnt help but get myself one of their beers from a local brewery! Quebec is a light year ahead of Ontario in terms of beer, and I definitely enjoyed being able to get good beer just about everywhere. I enjoyed the Poutine, which had fried onions on it, and tasted pretty good. I would definitely go back here!

Such yummy poutine. It's such big portion-- I wish I could have shared it with someone. I think I ate half of it and was done. The drawback was that they charged extra for me to box up the food, but I guess you have to make sacrifices for future promises of yumminess I guess.

I tend to not be too into chain restaurants, but anything that involves fresh cheesecurds typically has me sold. I had yet to try a legit Poutine in Montreal, and Frite Alors seemed like the place to go.
With a few Veggies in our crowd, we were pleased to learn they even had a meat-free option (I'm not entirely convinced the gravy was vegetarian, but hey, if they tell me it's not meat I ain't pushin it).
Prices weren't bad, and as I've come to find of the Service Industry in general in Montreal, they were extremely accommodating. People split various entrees, and they offered to split individual bills, and would evenly divide things people had split onto individual bills - the Veggie Poutine they divided onto 4 separate bills!
Tasty, filling, and fun. Go to Frite Alors for a classic Poutine experience! -

I always bring visitors here. Love the sauces for the fries, love the burger combinations. So yummy!
On a couple of occasions, I've had problems with the service. You know, situations where you're convinced the waitress has completely forgotten you and "dashing" is looking more and more tempting. The food and location make it worth coming back, though, and giving it 4 stars. -

The Croque Végétarien (country bread, mushrooms,
avocado, onions, peppers, goat cheese, Rémoulade sauce) is an amazing sandwich I wish I could have every day! The service at this place was super friendly, especially since not all of us were fluent in French. They were quick to explain a problem with the grill that they thought might cause a delay in getting our orders out, but it turns out the delay was hardly noticeable. The variety of poutines is a good range, we tried the L'eau à la Bush and enjoyed it though the serving seemed a bit too much for two people also ordering other things. This is definitely on my must-return-to list of places next time I'm in Montreal. -

We came here pretty hungry after a heavy night out of drinking in the Montreal town. We were walking along the street of St. Denis looking for burger type places besides McDonald's. So we found this place on a rainy early afternoon. Although the place was pretty much dead with only a few patrons, we didn't care cause we were so hungry.
Anyways the hot waitress seated us promptly. I'm not sure if it's Montreal but almost all of the waitress seems to be cute and hot at the same time. Anyways, the best thing about this place is the Poutine, it's basically french fries mixed with a smooth creamy texture gravy sauce added with bits and pieces of mozzarella cheese. It is absolutely to die for this dish. The burgers were pretty good too as the meat was tasty and the buns were a bit different than the usual sesame seed buns that Americans use.
Overall, a very good lunch after heavy drinking nights. -

Walked in on a beautiful day, and ordered the Frites Alors Poutine. But...Ehh. Cheese curds were great, the mushrooms, bacon, onion and the sauce were good, but the fries were not. Come on the fries in a Poutine were not good?! Its like having a hamburger with a so-so beef patti.
On the plus side, the service was good and there was a lot of Poutine for a very little money. They have some good, cheap local beers too! -

Poutine fries are what Montreal are all about and I liked these. If you don't know what Poutine is, it's cheese curds and gravy on fries. Its delicious. The burger was satisfactory but not worth it by itself. The pretty girl and her personality brought the meal up a notch.

Elles sont Belges, blondes et dorees. Great fries and Belgian beers. What else could you ask for? Some of the best fries that I have ever had since living in Bruges.

We ate here 3 years ago, when we visited Montreal on our babymoon, and it was on our list of places to eat when we returned to Montreal this past week. We've only had the veggie hot dogs and fries here, and I doubt we will ever get around to trying anything else, the dogs are THAT GOOD. Not only are the dogs good, but their fries....oh my. And you get a dipping sauce with them, too. You choose from like 10 or so, I think, and they are really all good, but our favorite is the curry. Their curry sauce is kind of like Nutella. You could put it on an old shoe and you'd say "man, that shoe is GOOD!" Lots of beers to choose from too. I probably would go back to Montreal JUST to eat at this place.

We had heard that you can't visit Montreal without trying frites, and this was a recommended place. They were very good, and Frites Alors offered a variety of sauces for us to sample. Our server was also very friendly and, recognizing we were from out of town, spent time explaining the menu and our meal to us.
