I haven't had Frite Alors in about 5 years. Since then gourmet burgers have sprouted up all over the place so I wanted to see if one of the originals around here has kept pace.
I had the Frite Alors burger ($13 with $4 more to get a poutine), it really was a mishmash of flavors that hit and missed.
The patty was very thin, like a Whopper and i could barely taste it. There was a red pepper mix that tasted sour and the bacon and cheese were not really as present as they should.
The biggest flaw was the ciabatta bread, nowhere was it mentioned that it was not a traditional bread. To me, that type of bread already overpowers a weak patty.
The poutine was ok, but very small, the fries were a bit limp and soggy.
The only upside is the nearby park where we can enjoy the takeout goodies.
Theres's alos a terrace to soak in the Fleury Ouest vibe.
