| - I came here while searching for a Poutine place in Downtown Montreal that would be open on the later side of a Wednesday night. Convenient to my hotel (which meant a short walk through the snow), Frites Alors felt oversized, if anything. With tens of tables free occupied by just a small scattering of young locals and visitors, it made my solo dining experience feel even more lonely. But it didn't really matter: they have beer, poutine, and hockey on TV.
I ordered the Montreal poutine, a standard poutine but topped with smoked meat. It was good, not great. The meat didn't really taste like anything or add any flavor to the dish, and the cheese curds stayed pretty solid the whole time. Fries and gravy were solid though; but I've had better.
The service was fine, no complaints, and for what it is, the price is about right (I probably should have just opted for traditional poutine in retrospect). I guess this is convenient if you're looking for Poutine downtown and it's part of a chain, which could explain the quality and what not. It's not good, but it's not bad. It's totally fine for what it is.
