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.
La nourriture est à l'image de la place.
Ca baigne dans son jus. L'huile des frites est vieille: les frites sont brunes/sombre, non salés, molles & mi-cuite ce qui correspond à l'état dans lequel il faut être pour apprécier la bouffe.
Le fromage du cheese-burger est tellement fondue qu'il est désintégré difficile alors de le sentir lorsqu'on mange.
Cela dit le prix est absolument abordable, ce qui joue essentiellement à la conservation du statut d'institution de la place depuis des années!

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.
Best burger in Montreal!! We live LaSalle & every chance we get we stop by! Unbeatable quality of a real Montreal styled burger! The fries are the RIGHT style of poutine fries, soft inside & crunchy on the out! 10/5
The poutine is classic !! Their sauce is iconic ✨ The burger as well is secretly delicious! A must try the poutine & then the cheese burger on the second try!
La pataterie est un incontournable du quartier. Des burgers & des hot dogs, de la poutine & de généreuses portions en font un rapport quantité/prix assez imbattable. L'ambiance est sympa, un peu désuète ce qui contribue à son charme. Sans prétention mais rapide & chaleureux !

Casse-croûte typique sans prétention. Menu limité : Hot-dogs, burgers, poutine. Bon prix, même en 2023. Service très rapide, maximum 3-4 mins d'attente. Je ne suis jamais déçu. Petit bijoux du quartier.
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
Toujours un regale cette pataterie !!!

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.
