It's weird how we in the reviews all seem to have different experiences here. Every time I've been the staff was super nice. The poutine is good but it never has enough cheese or sauce, the last 1/4 is just fries. Only time I got a burger the meat wasn't cooked all the way through, pink ground beef no thanks.
I don't usually write reviews but for Patate Rouge I had to. This was one of my favourite restaurants. The food is delicious & reasonably priced. I love the steak sub & their poutine. The fries are sweet & crispy sooo good. My friend had their cheeseburger & a hot dog & loved it. The place is nicely decorated & there's so much parking available. Honestly I definitely recommend this place 😊

There are very few things more satisfying than a classic casse-croûte, but we really went overboard... & we don't regret it 😅. We ordered all the necessary items: well-cooked, delicious hot dogs, both all dressed & Michigan style; crispy onion rings; a giant, filling, savory sub sandwich; a double hamburger (because we can't go anywhere without trying a good burger); &, of course, the essential poutine with perfect fries & luscious gravy. All this for a very affordable price makes us want to go back very soon.
Typical hot dog joint. Good fries decent hot dog, no smiles behind the counter. Fine for a bite if you are in the area but not worth seeking out unless you can't get a hot dog wherever you are.

Top poutine in Ahuntsic followed by Chez Ma Tante & Frite Alors. Their fries are the best. However, if you pick up late around closing time I find the sauce is thick & salty from simmering all day. So best to order earlier in the day. They could be more generous with the cheese.
It's a bit expensive but you won't get empty frozen fries! Only fresh cut potatoes!!! Toujours aussi bon! sinon meilleure!!! La patate rouge C la coche!!!!
Great place for some delicious classic Fast-Food !
The fries are amazing & the portions are very generous !
Easily accessible, just next to the highway.
Ça commence à faire longtemps que la Patate Rouge existe. Il y a 35 ans, c'était un Poulet Frit Kentucky. Les Belges vont crier que ce ne sont pas de vraies frites (croustillantes & légère) mais pour ceux qui permettent aux grosses molles brunes de s'appeller frites, ce sont parmi les meilleures.

It's been a long time that La Patate Rouge exist. 35 years ago, it was a PFK. Belgian people will say that this is not what real fries should be (crusty & light) but for those who let the big soft brown fried potatoes be called 'fries', these are nearly the best.
