Patati Patata is described as a tiny, cozy spot that serves standout poutine and comforting burgers at a great value, with a vibe that can be both intimate and buzzing. The poutine is frequently praised as among the best in Montreal, with squeaky cheese curds, crisp fries, and a gravy that many find perfectly balanced. Portions are noted as generous at times and more modest at others, but the overall impression is food that is simple, delicious, and reliably satisfying. Service is consistently described as friendly and fast, and takeout is a popular option for late night cravings. The small space and limited seating can make it busy and a bit chaotic, so many choose to take food to go or eat at the counter. Some reviews mention long waits during peak hours, and one account references a troubling incident about discriminatory remarks that affected the experience. Overall, Patati Patata stands out as a Montreal staple for late night poutine and casual bites, offering a distinctive hole in the wall charm, a loyal following, and flavors that keep people coming back.
Hands down one of my favourite poutines, I make sure to stop by here at least once anytime I'm in town. Excellent ratios, flavours, & portions, their poutine hits every mark for me. They use thinner, shoestring like fries which is not so traditional but a welcome addition as they help to get every bite coated in more gravy! They also offer a wide selection of small sandwiches & burgers, all of which are very reasonably priced & from what I've tried so far, delicious! Service is friendly & the small diner vibe is welcoming & cozy. Highly, highly recommend!
Every time I come here, I tell myself it's the last time... Yet I keep coming back. 5 stars for atmosphere & location 2 stars on food quality If you are looking for an excellent burger, this place is not for you. If you are looking for a classic late night Montreal experience...rock on! The burgers are below average, the poutine is average, & the fries are excellent.

Why bother writing a review on such a ubiquitously renowned Montreal staple? Because the amount of love I have for this place, its people & most importantly its food is such that it should be shouted from the rooftops. But I haven't, so I felt like the next best thing is this lousy Google Review. To those who have never laid lips on the most compelling poutine in the whole wide world (in my opinion), stop what you're doing, put your shoes on, walk, run, drive, fly, swim or take a kayak straight to the pinacle of what is humanely possible to achieve as a result of assembling fries, cheese & gravy on a plate. To those working there: keep up the high spirit guys, your food makes people happy. I'm certainly happy just thinking about it. See you soon.
In Montreal's heart, where flavors chime, Patati Patata, simply sublime. Golden fries, curds so bright, Gravy rich, pure delight. Locals whisper, spread the cheer, Patati Patata, best poutine here. Warmth & laughter, night & day, Poutine bliss in every way.
Love this place, Montreal classique. Food is obviously great & the servers are also very friendly. Nice place to stop by to try Montreal style poutine.
patati patata's little borscht girl poster has seen me & stared into my soul during all phases of my life. went here for the first time after i moved into my first apartment & fell in love with the little borscht girl. made me think also good fries good poutine good burger although i dont understand why they put an olive there all the time i dont like them
I've been a loyal customer at Patati Patata for over 5 years, generally satisfied with their service & products. However, my recent experience on a Thursday night was disappointing. Despite a quiet evening, it took over 25 minutes to get my to-go order, with the staff seeming more interested in goofing around than maintaining efficiency. What troubled me most was witnessing the cashier handle money barehanded & then proceed to prepare salads & fries without washing. This lapse in hygiene is unacceptable. While Patati Patata is renowned for its legendary burgers, the decline in consistency & professionalism raises concerns about the overall experience.

Great place to visit for some late night food! I ordered the BLT & some fries (I was super hungry so I forgot to take a picture before eating), but the prices are great & the food is definitely worth it. I’ll definitely stop by on my next trip to Montreal!
Small place. Feels like you are eating in a 70's diner, but that's the charm!
Mini burgers are awesome, & to this day, they still have the best poutine, the fries are just perfect & that sauce... I'm drooling just thinking about it.
Great fresh salad if you want some, just so you can feel healthy :P
We always enjoy eating at the 'bar table' so that we can watch the friendly cook make the food in front of us.
Everytime we go, we always feel right at home, & the staff is really extra friendly without trying too hard. Oh, & they also always have the coolest music playlist going on.
