Review Summary

Le fou de la patate is widely appreciated for its generous portions, affordable prices, and delicious poutine, which is often cited as a standout. Visitors frequently praise the friendly, welcoming, and hospitable service that creates a charming family-style atmosphere. While the quality of the food and the value for money receive consistent acclaim, some feedback notes that the building would benefit from renovations and occasional inconsistencies in portion sizes or cheese quantity occur.

Pas notre premier choix mais l'autre est fermé durant les vacances de la construction. Pas un super choix de déjeuner, mais on a bien aimé notre déjeuner, pas trop cher & les gens sont sympas. Oeufs, bacon, saucisses, patates.
