Every trip to Montreal requires a trek to Frites Alors (or any poutinerie) in my books. Who knew there were so many different types of poutine? Not the adventurous kind, I usually get the classic poutine with gravy and cheesecurds. What's nice about this place is that the cheesecurds are actually fresh, and curds- unlike other places that just sprinkle pre-packaged shredded Kraft cheese. The portions are huge (I definitely recommend sharing) and the prices are reasonable. The place is laid-back and very casual with a French charm that keeps me coming back form more.
