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.
La Pataterie on Ontario Street is a great spot! I had the double cheeseburger & it was fantastic juicy, flavorful, & perfectly cooked. The prices were very reasonable, which is a huge plus, especially these days.
I'm definitely going back & can't wait to try the poutine; I've been told it's the best. If you're looking for classic comfort food that hits the spot without breaking the bank, this place is a must-visit!

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.
Atmosphérique & courtois. Le service est très rapide & nous avons apprécié voir les locaux être servi avant nous. Nous avons commander deux royeux une poutine & un big bob.
Hot dog ; exactement ce qu'un hot dog devrait gouter. 8/10
Poutine : on a pris la grosse bbq , portion généreuse mais la sauce, beaucoup trop! Une piscine! La sauce est bonne le fromage fait squisj squish & les frites sont correct
8/10
Big BOB : un cheeseburger mayo mais ils ont rajouter une petite slice de beloney, rien de fou 7.5/10
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.
Poutine was the best I ever had. The gravy was so rich, you can tell it's homemade. We ordered hot dogs, onion rings, cheeseburger & a BLT. Everything was fresh & great quality. Honestly, I saw this place on social media from being rated top 3 poutine in Quebec, & after leaving, I'm shocked how this isn't #1 in the nation. Best diner in town
Amazing service. My girlfriend & I are visiting from Ottawa. Every single staff member was helpful & incredibly kind. Switching between French & English effortlessly. The food was incredible & freshly made. Very well priced, 10 dollars for a cheeseburger combo. McDonalds is 16$ & 1000x worse. I will come back whenever I'm in Montreal.

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.
