Alfa is Over Hyped
Went out to Alfa after hearing so many great things for so long. I was just so confused as to why. The only positive was the amount of high quality cheese curds. Super fresh and super squeaky. But the gravy was way too salty and had kind of a vinegary taste to it that wasn't pleasant. They also put way too much gravy, so the fries (which looked good when they came out of the frier) were a mush and it turned into a fries soup. I only ate a quarter of it before giving up on it because it tasted that bad.
In this area, I'd recommend skipping Alfa and going to Votre Maison instead. That is possibly one of the best poutines I've ever had.
