    Smash burger, small classic poutine, beef burger with fries.
    Marc S.

    Food was amazing. Kids loved the Montreal style hamburgers and trying poutine for the first time. Good deal splitting 1 smash burger with 1 small classic poutine between them. I enjoyed that my burger came on a bagel (??) and the "americaine" sauce which was recommended was great. Service could not have been friendlier or nicer, thank you!

    I will never claim to understand Montreal's obsession with French Fries... oh wait, they are "French" I think I just got it. Regardless, this local chain is great. They've got great food, with a great menu, and it's a perfect place to pop in for some relief from the festivals. The poutine menu is comparable to any that you may find elsewhere, only you probably won't have to wait 30 minutes to get in (if you know which place I'm talking about). It's one of our new favorites.

    As an out of towner, I enjoyed this first stop on a little poutine tour my partner and I did throughout Montreal. It wasn't our favorite spot, but the menu had good options and serving sizes very generous. Everyone working there was super nice, which made the experience even better.

    Bacon poutines! The cheese curd really does squeak... yum

    First meal in Montreal! We saw this poutine chain all across the city and it opened late so decided to give it a try. We ordered the bacon poutine and it was delicious! My partner said to know if it's a good poutine or not the cheese curd will squeak when you bite into it. I laughed at his comment but just when I took a bite immediately after - I heard the magical *squeak*. So I guess he wasn't joking. The staffs were so friendly and attentive. They kept filing our water which was very vital considering how much sodium is in this dish. Would highly recommend coming to this place, they have many poutine choices to pick from! The only downside is they don't have a duck poutine option.

    Great casual lunch at Frite Alors. French fries or frites were cooked perfectly. This place fulfilled my poutine needs for this trip to Canada. Our server was professional and we enjoyed the chill vibe here.

    Poutine was, welll, yuk.

    Possibly the worst hamburger on Mother Earth. 100% that pink slime stuff you've all read about or have seen those gross documentaries on what they used for fast food beef, and it ain't beef. Burger almost tasted like it was boiled, not broiled. And I'm totally serious. The milk shake (for a hefty price of $7.50) was 99% milk, 1% ice cream. Nasty, just nasty. And just when things couldn't get worse, they did. The obnoxious college/high school crowd surrounded us on all sides, and we're not talking Harvard or Yale here. Don't be fooled by the lines, just don't be fooled. There are plenty of other options on this block. Nice there's outdoor seating though.

    Delicious poutine and the service was on point. When I saw that our server had a Back to the Future shirt on I knew this was gonna be a fun place. This place actually bills itself I found this place on Yelp and it was super easy to walk to from the main train station: Berry-UQAM. Once inside the hardest decision was trying to decide on what to eat because there were so many different flavours and foods available (Belgian style fries, poutine, burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches). As this was a midday snack, I opted for a "La Vladimir" poutine that also came in a petit (small) size. My fries came drenched in gravy with some classic cheese curds a fork stabbed through the middle ready to go. The server was great I initially asked for a table and ordered in French but then she spoke French back to me and I didn't realize she was asking me what I would like to drink so she switched to English without skipping a beat. She also checked if everything was OK after our first few bites and topped up our waters regularly. I wasn't expecting that for a casual poutine restaurant so her efforts were much appreciated. Thank you for a delicious poutine experience.

    Le Pâturage with French fries
    Shaun Z.

    I went there for the famous Belgian fries but got impressed by their burger also (yes they insist on the name Belgian instead of French fries). The burger Le Pâturage was pretty tasty with tender beef and decent bread. Without doubt the fries were also quite delicious, especially going well with their dipping sauce. I ordered the sauce Béarnaise, which definitely enhances the flavour of the fries. Recommend!

    The food was pretty good but the reason it gets 4/5 is because of the guy that helped us. Sadly I had a few drinks so I forgot his name but the man was incredibly friendly, helpful and outgoing. Greta experience for our first night in Montreal

    Stopped in for lunch while in Montreal. Was seated quickly and service was great. We got the lunch special which was a burger and fries. It was delicious. My wife was thrown by them serving mayo as the condiment for the fries. But it made the fries taste so much better. Next time we are in town can't wait to try some other versions of their fries as its their stable. Also they use disposable paper straws so drink your soda fast! :)

    L'eau A La Bush
    Lauren D.

    For my first trip to Canada I knew I poutine had to be one of my first meals. I had seen Frite Alors on Yelp before my trip and it just so happened that where we stayed in Montreal was right around the corner from this location - so it was an easy decision for our first lunch after arriving. The restaurant is charming and casual, definitely kid-friendly and relaxed. We sat at the counter and got some drinks .. the cider was yummy! And the waiters were friendly enough. The poutine was yummy - I obviously did not have much to compare it too but in my mind, where can it go wrong? Fries, cheese curds, gravy and meat! Yum. Definitely a good casual spot to try.

    La Menace Nucléaire - left La Montréalais - right
    Ria K.

    For my first poutine experience in Canada, I couldn't have been more pleased. Frite Alors has so many variety of poutine that it was difficult for my friend and I to choose, but we eventually settled on the La Montréalais and La Menace Nucléaire, and got the dessert poutine to finish- far too much food for the two of us, but no regrets. La Montréalais was piled with meat for which we had heard Montreal was famous for, and each bite was satisfyingly meaty and smoky, with the signature cheesy squeak that is signature of a good poutine. La Menace Nucléaire was surprisingly delicious and the flavors were quite authentic- as a Korean, I was more than happy to munch on delicious kimchi and bulgogi as a poutine topping. The bulgogi was sweet, as it should be, and the kimchi tasted stir-fried beforehand, also giving it a sweeter, more rounded flavor profile that is friendlier to those not as accustomed to the taste. The dessert poutine was a little disappointing- I was hoping for something more compelling, but it felt very much like my child self dipping fries into my milkshake- there wasn't much connecting the fries to the ice cream. Would I go back? Absolutely- I would love to try the other flavors, and it's a shame we didn't have a chance to return while in Canada.

    Mexican-style poutine
    Jessica S.

    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.

    Really good fries. As non Canadians it was a very nice place to try poutine. They also have a location in Lyon France which is also good.

    I was in Montreal for a day to walk 100,000 steps, and 1 of the 4 food requirements I had for…read moremyself was poutine. I'd never had the French Canadian heart-attack-on-a-plate, and was a little nervous as it just looks like it has A LOT going on. I sludged into La Banquise dead sober at 4:11am, as this is a legendary spot that is open 24 hours. I sat down in a bustling no frills atmosphere and remembered my deep appreciation for a 24-hour diner. You see people for who they really are this early in the morning. A couple in front of me was in a heated argument about what "being exclusive" really meant, while two separate groups of 4 to my right were feeling no pain and enjoying a poutine night cap. There I was, sipping on my black coffee mentally prepping myself for the 45 mile (72 km) day I had in front of me. The dichotomy of life. I asked the server what the most popular item was, and he said La Scooby. This monstrosity consisted of fresh cut fries, cheese, gravy, ground beef, bacon, onions, fried pickles, and caesar dressing garlic sauce. I got the small ($12.40 usd), but this thing was a TANK. It was bigger than my head and I have a HUGE head. The large must be a family style portion or somethin. Upon first bite, it was damn good. I completely see the poutine appeal. Is it an ideal meal dead sober at 4:11am? No, absolutely not, but this is an S-tier hangover food. Also, if there is ever a day when I need some extra calories, it's on a 100k step day. All the staff was so welcoming, and surprisingly chipper this early in the morning. SHOUTOUT TO LA BANQUISE! THANK YOU FOR FUELING THE JOURNEY! IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

I took my niece from New York City here because La Banquise is supposed to be the "must try" poutine spot in Montreal. We had a great night overall: soccer game, drinks at Mellon Brasserie (none of us were drunk; my wife was 100% sober). Everything was fun and chill. But La Banquise completely ruined the end of that trip, and I'm not okay with letting this go. We paid for the food and service. But it doesn't matter if you pay $1 or $100: at the end of the day, we were customers, and we deserved to be treated with respect. We waited for our Uber outside. It was cold, and I'm on crutches, so my injuries hurt badly in the cold. After waiting outside for a long time with the Uber not showing up, we went back inside to wait near the door, in the corner, not blocking anyone. The staff at the door immediately came in and started rudely and aggressively kicking us out. He refused to speak English with me after I clearly said, "I don't speak French, so talk to me in English." He kept talking French and was rude to my wife, my niece, and me. He told the waitress in French that we were "blocking the way," which was 100% false. (My wife speaks French) We were just standing near the entrance, waiting for a few minutes, trying to get out of the cold. When I went to the cashier and explained, "This guy is kicking me out. I just paid for my meal. But it doesn't matter if you pay $1 or $100: you're still a customer, and you shouldn't be kicked out and treated like trash just because you're waiting for your Uber on crutches. I'm on crutches, it's cold, and my Uber isn't here yet," they called a waitress who also started telling us to leave instead of helping. She didn't try to find a solution; she just said, "No, no, leave, leave." This is not just bad service. This is disgusting, disrespectful treatment of a paying customer with a mobility issue. My niece, who had a blast all night, ended the trip saying, "What the f....? You bring me here and they treat us like this?" She now has a bad impression of Montreal because of this place. My niece is from New York City, and she's also posting her own review. That review will be seen by people in New York and by tourists looking for recommendations. If you treat tourists like this, you're not just ruining one night, you're ruining the image of the whole city. Montreal is supposed to be a welcoming city for tourists and people looking to have fun and be treated with respect. La Banquise failed that completely. The food was okay, but the experience was terrible because of how we were treated. This is unacceptable. You should be ashamed of how you handled this.
