Frites Alore is a local fast food chain. Chains I tend to avoid, but this chain has some real simple things that are good going for it.
First, the fries are quite tasty. They are not overcooked or undercooked and they crackle and have a great fatty texture and savory flavor. Second, There are many sauces that come with them. Tartare is very original, and any of the mayo based ones will not fail either. Third, this place is also very inexpensive. And fourth they of course have poutine which is large and plentiful, and while I've had my share of pountines in the past (such as the famous one at Au Pied), one here will be satisfactory enough as it is and they have several different kinds.
It's a fast food joint, the service is a little indifferent, the floor was probably not that clean or swept recently before you walked in chances are, but it's a great simple place to get a cheap bite.
