Alors - L'atmosphere, la service, et la nourriture
Atmosphere: Frite Alors is a franchise. Curiously however, it does not suffer from the blandness that other chain restaurants often exhibit. Frite Alors restaurants are all unique and do not conform to some standardized image / layout. The Firte Alors on St. Denis is especially endearing. Although St. Denis is more or less known to be heavily trafficked by tourists - especially the portion between De Maisonneuve and St. Catherine's Streets - the Quartier Latin still retains many of its charms and individualities. The Firte Alors here has certainly been affected as much. The place is spacious - and although attempts to stay true to the theme of Tin Tin (long before the 2011 movie), the place can come off as being eclectic and unpredictable - and this is what give it its charm. The entrance is stocked with flyers and brochures advertising various artistic events and musical performances (professional or otherwise) , and the crowd is equally trendy, young, and diverse. First time visitors will find that this is a neat place to run into ideas as to what to do next in Montreal.
Service: Since Frite Alors is really suppose to be a fast-food burger joint - the staff is entirely comprised of young people. St. Denis, being on the east side of the Main (St. Laurent Street) the staff is mostly French speaking - but they are incredibly accommodating and willing to speak as much English as they can. Overall - nice bunch.
Food: The burgers at Frite Alors are simply fabulous. They come in a straw tray and are quite generous in their proportions. These burgers also come with Frite Alors' famous fries and a choice of dipping mustard. In fact, burgers aside, Frite Alors is often fun to visit simply for the fries! Prices are reasonable, and this makes the place a definite bargain.
Put it on your to do list!
