Reviews portray La Pataterie as a nostalgic, casual spot where generous portions and good value pair with a standout poutine, fries, and burgers, and where the friendly, efficient service is frequently praised. Mixed feedback notes sometimes dated interiors and cleanliness concerns, occasional issues with sauce or gravy texture, and a few dishes that miss the mark, but the overall experience remains a beloved choice for quick, comforting fare.
Une institution d'Hochelaga. La poutine est bonne, les roteux sont parfaitement steamés & l'ambiance est familiale. Si tu vis a Hochelaga, tu dois y aller.
It's not particularly good or flavorful but it's fairly affordable for what you get, the building & decor are charming, & the staff are extremely nice. Support small businesses (even if the food is like really not that great but sort of acceptable).

Faisait juste trop longtemps que je passais tout droit mais La Pataterie.... Je risque d'y faire un arrêt à chaque fois que je repasserais à Montréal- sans contrainte de temps....
Delicious fries, great hot dogs & good service. Only negative is the restaurants interior desperately needs some cosmetic repairs at the minimum, but being such a popular & busy spot, I definitely understand that trying to do some renovations would drastically impact business. If you want a quick eats, it's a must ☺?
