I went here on the recommendation of a local friend. They are open late which was good for me, who didn't get around to dinner until quite late. I just had the poutine which was quite good! I meant to go back but didn't have the time.
Patati Patata is a tiny corner restaurant with great food. When we approached, there was a pretty long line, but it moved fast. We decided to get take out and eat in the park across the street, since there were benches to sit on and we wouldn't be crowded with other people. My niece tried the classic poutine and fresh squeezed grapefruit juice. She thoroughly enjoyed both. I had the salad and fries. They were the best fries I've ever had. This is not a gourmet dining experience, but excellent food. The guys working at the restaurant were going non stop to feed and serve the customers. Prices were reasonable.
Ive eaten a lot of poutines in Montreal, and this is the best Ive had so far. The portions are just right. The fries are crispy, but not hard or overdone. The gravy is just right, and its very reasonably priced. I literally went back in for seconds it was so good.
Excellent burgers and very affordable. The Mediterranean burger was fantastic. Great salad and poutine! Quick service.
Cheese curd lovers, this your spot for poutine! This cozy little place is a great local spot to dine in for a quick bite. The fries are a bit on the softer side for my taste, but still very enjoyable.
If you like poutine and Montreal type food, this is a great place & truly where the locals eat. Portions are small, which is a good thing. There is usually a line which tells you this place is good despite all the competition on St Laurent. Watch the guys cook your food & get served fries in a paper sack .... Beware the unicycle gang out front ....
Came here when we were in Montreal last November and it was great. Tried it again with family and the fries were burnt. I had a pickup order so only saw my order once I was back at the hotel. I called them to complain and was told quite nonchalantly that’s exactly how their fries are these days because of the potatoes and that they can’t do anything about them. Too much cheese not enough gravy. Would not recommend at all.
We got the poutine and the hot dog. The hot dog was tiny but good. We asked for extra cheese and gravy for our poutine and they did not mess around.
Small and busy, watching the three cooks dance around each other with solid blues playing over a quality speaker made me feel like I had live entertainment. I had the fish burger which was more than fine but I hunch some other dishes might have been better. Breakfast menu looks great. They had a nice selection of beers on tap, especially for a place that seats about 15. Loved being there and there was a non stop line of people for take out so if this place was ever a "hidden gem" it is starting not to be.
The place is very small and always crowded as it is delicious. The prices are very low and the food is good. The staff is nice. I recommend the grill cheese
