{1}Futé{/1} will avoid you all the Quebec swearwords and other beauties of our American cousins' language to tell you what we think about Frite Alors. The concept, a first on the Old Continent, is that of a made in Québec Belgian chips shop. And if the French fries are the stars, it is the Quebec speciality which does its show according to us: the poutine. Ah! the poutine, which is the dish that you would like to eat after a beautiful logging session in the heart of a cold forest, but a little less after a shopping session in town... It is the only dish that can provide your calorie requirements for a week at once! A dish that comes in several varieties, but never in light version... Even the Vladimir one, "regular" sauce, exceeds our fat absorption capacity. Then, we've not yet told you about the "grosse Cochonne" (fat pig)... In short, the decor may look too much like a canteen enlivened by some illustrated frames, the service is young and friendly, the portions are generous and we're looking for the number of our cardiologist to tell him that we had a crush on the Viennese poutine. As for burgers, they are as fresh as generous and even tasty. Finally, it is not the chips that have caught our attention, but a (fat) poutine which hasn't still existed in Lyon. An ideal address to avoid the recommendations of the national nutrition health programme, but original and friendly. Note that there's another address in the 3rd arrondissement. So how about French fries? The choice is up to you.
