About

La Pataterie functions as a classic snack bar dedicated to the pursuit of elevated Quebec comfort food staples. The menu focuses primarily on traditional poutine, featuring thick-cut fries smothered in rich, savory gravy and topped with generous portions of fresh, squeaky cheese curds. Beyond this iconic dish, the kitchen prepares a variety of pressed burgers made with seasoned patties and standard garnishes on soft buns. The preparation style emphasizes speed and consistency, catering to patrons seeking high-calorie, hearty fare in a utilitarian setting. Every order relies on simple, direct cooking techniques that honor the regional heritage of the casse-croute format. This establishment maintains a functional atmosphere where the culinary emphasis remains strictly on the textures and bold flavors of fried carbohydrates, melted fats, and protein-heavy comfort classics.

Review Summary

La Pataterie is widely celebrated as a beloved Hochelaga institution, known for its classic diner atmosphere, friendly service, and generous portions of comfort food. Many patrons consider it a go-to spot in Montreal for high-quality poutine featuring fresh cheese curds and flavorful sauce, as well as steamies and burgers that offer excellent value for the price. While the vintage, greasy-spoon vibe is part of its charm for most visitors, some reviewers suggest that the interior would benefit from deeper cleaning and cosmetic updates. Despite mixed opinions on fry texture and occasional inconsistencies in food quality, the restaurant remains a highly recommended destination for those seeking an authentic, fast, and affordable casual dining experience.

Si je pouvais décrire le paradis sur terre je décrirais la pataterie. Je sacrifierais mes enfants pour regouter la poutine pour la premiere fois.

La meilleur poutine a montréal. Je demeure sur le plateau mont-royal & je me déplace pour aller la chercher. .Désormais j'achète pu a aucune place d'autre. C'est le seul endroit ou il nous mette du fromage au fond du plat pas juste sur le dessus & aussi de la sauce
MERCI! Trop délicieuse !

Restaurant closes at 9:30 if you want to buy, not 10. Food is really good, a must eat if you haven't tried before.

Recommended by friends & colleagues in MTL, this was my first time going to La Pataterie. When the menus are on the old school boards & not the flat screen TVs, you know you're in the right place. It's a perfect greasy spoon type diner, the service was easy, quick & the food hit the spot.

Definitely one of the best poutines I've had in the city. Normally I don't eat glizzys, but I tried something new & got the grilled hotdogs (all dressed) & was pleasantly surprised. I love venturing into new neighborhoods & La Pataterie was a great find. Recommending this place!

As classic as a Montreal Casse-Croute favourite can get. Situated in the breast of the Hochelaga village, the menu at this restaurant checks all of the essential boxes. A steamie & a poutine is my casse croute go-to so it was the #4 for me. If you're a lover of squeaky cheese curds this poutine is for you. I wasn't crazy about the gravy but it was a smashing poutine overall. Steamie hit the spot too. Service was fine & the price was right.
