Overall, La Pataterie consistently delivers comforting fast food with a Montreal focus on poutine, burgers, hot dogs, and fries, at affordable prices and generous portions. Reviewers praise crispy double cooked fries, plentiful squeaky cheese curds, and a sauce that ranges from rich and slightly spicy to notably distinctive, with some noting hints of nutmeg or cinnamon. The poutine is often described as the standout item, with many calling it among the best in the city, though a few mention occasional inconsistencies or a sauce that can feel watery. The atmosphere is retro and casual, the staff friendly and efficient, and service is quick, making it a go to spot for locals and visitors alike. A few notes point to aging decor or occasional cleanliness concerns, but the overall impression is value, flavor, and a sense that the place is an institution in the neighborhood. In short, La Pataterie offers a satisfying, affordable, classic comfort food experience with a strong reputation for its poutine.
J'y vais depuis je suis petite, excellente poutine, leurs cheeseburgers sont vraiment bons. La bouffe n'est pas cher, ça m'a couté moins de 20$ pour un trio cheese bacon & j'ai remplacé la frite par une poutine. La seule chose négatif, les toilettes sont pas propre propre, le plancher sent la vieille pisse & est collant.
You want a 25$ burger with fancy toppings? Go down the street. This place, however, will give you a burger. Meat. Bread. Standard toppings if you want them. & you can get like 4 for the same price as the fancy burger. This is a classic montreal "pataterie" like few are left. Cherish it. Order some "Nonionrings" go wild. They'll put bacon on anything you want. As long as you pay for it. I'd give it 6 stars if I could. Really scratches that itch.
Ordered a double bacon cheeseburger & poutine. The cheeseburger was good! Poutine was different... the sauce was watery, had a curry & cinnamon flavour to it- not your typical gravy. Visually it looked amazing, great ratio of cheese & fries! Would not order the poutine again the gravy wasn't my preference for poutine gravy.

I lived in hochelaga for 3 years , this was my go to spot. I visited today after 1 year of being away. . . The food is still as good as ever. Super fresh. Sqeaky sqeaky cheese curds. Hot gravy! Super toasted toasties with tons of flavor , cheeseburger bacon is exceptional. This place is consistent. Friendly & efficient. I will never not come here any time I'm in Montreal.
Eating with the locals ! This is a local favorite. Fresh fresh fresh. The burger is made to your desire. Freshly made. I have a double bacon cheeseburger with grilled onion. It tastes amazing. The fresh cut fries are plenty & delicious. The Gravy is 1.89 - they give you a whole cup. There are lots of drinks to choose from. There are lots of combos & if you just choose to have a burger there are lots of specials for $4 or $5. There's a small parking area & you can also park along this small street. The seating outside is very nice. Inside is like a retro cafeteria with big TV showing sports programs. Mind you the line up is very long. But it goes very fast. They have very efficient young people taking orders & cooking. It's like a South Street Burger type of line but this burger is worth the waiting. 5 stars

I've noticed that people come here for a quick bite so I decided to give it a try. The prices are solid for the meals. There are also multiple combos you can try for poutine, fries, & burgers. They allow you to add condiments like ketchup & mayo on top, as well as add bacon if really wanting too. I got the cheeseburger with added bacon, the savor was quite welcoming. The cold ingredients (lettuce & tomato) were fresh, alongside the hot ingredients: the patty & the bacon were well cooked. On top of that the mayo in the burger made it much more flavorful. Overall, great flavor for the burger. The fries were a little dull & different from what I have tried in other fast food places in America, but can't complain by adding some ketchup on top. Did not try the poutine from this place so I cannot say much about the classic Canadian favorite. Next time I go, I will try the fries served in a poutine styled meal.
