| - Go in a group, there are a variety of sauces for the fries and it's fun trying a bunch. Order a wacky burger! The caribou burger was really interesting and very tasty. Bigger variety of soft drink that most places here. Great service and great price/experience ratio.

Full Review:
This little franchise is a burger + fires joint with a twist.
They offer interesting meats in their burgers (caribou or bison anyone?) and one of their burgers has apples in it. It's a cosy little place with dim lighting and a happy waitress that was more than happy to stand around and listen while I spent 5 minutes looking at their fridge of drinks and figuring out which of the 12 or so unique mayo-based sauces I want to get with my fries.
The bizarre varieties of drinks, sauces and unique twists placed on the burgers is what makes this place delightful. You won't just go in there and order:
"Cheeseburger, all dressed and a coke."
It will sound more like this:
"I'll have the Rudolph with Indonesian sauce and a lime soda."
The Rudolph, which is the 3rd or 4th burger I've had there since I've discovered the place is a caribou with onion jam, pickles and a sour mayo sauce. It's the burger that finally made me decide to add this review to my burger list.
The flavour in the caribou was rich and juicy. Very enjoyable, especially with the sour pickle and sweet onion jam. It created a burst of flavour that I really enjoyed. The other burgers I've had before were also unique but all beef. They weren't as juicy but equally interesting. If you like green apples and brie (2 things I adore) I recommend having the burger that has those in it (can't remember it's name).
I would never really tell you to go to this place alone. Before I get to that, let me digress a moment: Food, isn't always necessarily related JUST to the way it tastes - at least I try and skew my reviews not to always reflect that. Situation and atmosphere are very important in eating.
So why never go alone to Frite Alors? It's multitude of mayo sauces. Every time I've been there, we were at least 3 people and we each order a different sauce so that we can mix and match and maximize the interesting experience that I always have when we go to Frite Alors.
The fries themselves aren't particularly special, but honestly, that doesn't mean anything to me. I come from Lebanon and while this may sound either extremely stupid or pompous, I've yet to taste a tuber like the ones grown in Lebanon. If I were to collective rate ALL fries I've had in Montreal, it wouldn't really exceed a 2* rating at it's VERY VERY best.
