Alfa

We enjoy leaving the city to quest for the best. Especially poutine and burgers. Sometimes it's just better the farther you go.  To this end, we visited the renowned casse-croûtenThe excellent classic poutine there definitely lives up to the hype. Everything was as it should be: the wonderful gravy, cheese curds, and perfect fries.nWe also indulged in their incredible chicken burger and the essential Michigan hot dog.

We specially made this pilgrimage to this gem of poutine. It is not a secret that the best cooking has to start with the right treatment of the basic ingredient. Alfa used fresh potato and made all the right steps to turn it into the best country style French fries in house. With that, adding on a good supply chains on cheese, gravy , smoke meat and hot dogs to create its menu. Alfa is not like other restaurants, it provides its customers with a generous portion together with a low price. Even more interesting, Alfa is sticking its business on cash bases transaction to help keep the price low. Customers will not have to face the question on tips as electronic transactions are not available. This is actually a good tourist experience for those who are willing to get out of Montreal in quest of the best Quebec poutine. We enjoyed the best poutine we ever had in Quebec, and we will be back next time to bring in visiting friends.

A decent place if you want to satisfy a craving or just enjoy a good old poutine. The portion are very generous. Only hic is the cheese that was a bit too chewy.nnThe service is quite fast, so even if there’s a line things usually move very fast.

$12 for the petite small poutine - and it’s massive !nThe most cheese I’ve ever had on a poutine , I couldn’t believe it. Squeaky, real quality curds. The sauce is on the tangy side and I liked that.nnThe staff are not friendly but that adds to the flavour lol this is a must try for a classic poutine !

The special submarine was really packed with meats and nicely topped compared to other places. The portions were really generous for the price you pay. The regular and Italian poutines were delicious and packed with squeaky cheese. It was worth the trip as we do not live in the area. We will definitely be back.
