Better than "la belle province"!!! Been coming here for over 6 years now, food is always great, service is always amazing & everyone is friendly. Delivery is mostly quick & the restaurant is kept very clean.

I stopped by Gerard Patates after a soccer match with my boys, & we were pleasantly surprised! The staff & owner were incredibly friendly, & the food was fresh & delicious. We ordered a submarine trio & two trio cheeseburgers, & everything was great. While we were eating, the staff surprised us with a complimentary plate of freshly made donut holes-at least 20 of them! It was such a thoughtful gesture, & the kids were thrilled. I can't make it every week, but I'll definitely be back once a month. Long live Gerard Patates!

Credit where it's due, POUTINE was GREAT! Fries were good, cheese was quality & sauce was generous! The rest wasn't as memorable but I'd make a detour for the poutine if I was nearby!

Visiting from Toronto, cousin brought me here. Perhaps the best sub sandwich I've ever had. I love the classic fries & diner atmosphere (kept very clean I might add). Staff are friendly & courteous. Definitely worth a trip to try out the authentic local flavors of Montreal.

Been here since the small establishment 30+ years ago. This is hands down the best poutine I've ever had in my life, & never ceases to be every year I go back. Staff is perfect, the original owners & cooks were gone for the first time today on my visit, but the people they hire are doing a great job continuing the tradition & recipes👌. Very polite & nice, they know what they're doing, flavourful souvlaki & obviously much better seats than they had back in the day. I'm so happy for this place & I've converted many friends visiting who also think the same!
