Who doesn’t love scarfing down handfuls of fries? They go with everything. Having a pizza? Order French fries. Steak? Get fries on the side. Heck, we’ve all ordered fries on the side of a poutine (admit it).
With so many options around Montreal, we’re focusing on the city’s best collection of French fries.

And we’re keeping it simple — no gravy, no cheese, no sweet potatoes, just golden strips of deep-fried potatoes.
No offence to McDonald’s but we’re sticking to exclusively local spots here, no global franchises.

This long-established, family-run fast food joint whips up classic Quebec French fries. That sweet type of double-blanched fries that are irresistible. You can’t go wrong.

Frite Alors offers Belgian-style fries and its locations are scattered all across the island (with one in France). They’re served in cones because why not? They’re crispy, light, fried in animal lard, and served with a side of spicy mayo.
Bar Loïc

While Loïc specializes in wine, its McCain-like fries are crispy, salty, and absolutely decadent. Order them with a cheeseburger or just a bucket for yourself.
Patati Patata

If you’re in the market for a thinner and crispier order of fries, Patati Patata should be your go-to. Plus, they’re served in a cool basket (usually). The spot is active on DoorDash if you want some fries delivered right to your door.
Ma Poule Mouillée

Ma Poule Mouillée is known for its rotisserie chicken but they make a mean order of fries. Lightly doused in a bit of spice, these crispy fries are served with piri-piri sauce and it’s a perfect tandem.
Chez Tousignant

Fries served in a brown paper bag just hit differently.
Chez Tousignant is a classic casse-croûte with a little 21st-century update. The fries are the perfect balance between crispy and greasy.
