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.
The lady & gentleman working were so sweet & accommodating. We wanted to try this place out but were hesitant since it's not super big/toddler friendly. But it wasn't busy & our toddler was able to sit well & look out the window! The cheeseburger & poutine were delicious. Definitely will return :)
2025: i loved that they have this plate with both poutine & salad, both were delicious & together it was just perfect, generous portions & fresh ingredients. service was friendly & quick.
Un lieu merveilleux qui malgré son mince espace est très convivial & où l'ambiance est forte agréable.
La poutine classique est excellente, les frites sont maisons & les portions sont généreuses ! Mention spéciale au thé glacé maison qui est divin (ps: j'aimerai bien la recette haha) !!!
Merci aux deux serveurs qui étaient vraiment géniaux :)
Un super moment ✨?
Hey guys. I just want you to know I am loyal as hell to your poutine, it doesn't even compare to anything else. Tonight, I tried another spot & it was the biggest disappointment ever. Every time I go to Patati, it's 20/10. Also, whenever I hit the saint L. Street location, you guys get me a seat at the bar & I'm in & out in 30 minutes. I'm not sure you will read this but I freaking love you guys. I told my boyfriend he ranks below you in my heart & while he wasn't pleased by that, I had to follow my gut(pun intended). Anyways, you guys rocks! Patati for life ❤?❤?❤?

Exactly what you want for a late night spot. Right next to Bar Big in Japan, & their poutine will scratch the itch. Generous with their curds topped with a perfectly shiny gravy.
Cozy spot in the Mont-Royal Area. They have a few tables, but mostly a take-out spot. Poutine is delicious; their gravy is flavourful, fries are thin cut, & their cheese is squeaky. Depending on the hour it can get really busy, but staff are friendly!
Poutine & frites de qualité toutefois le service est parfois long & la salle ne permet pas de venir nombreux . Dommage car ça gagnerait à être plus connu !
10 ans à Montréal, 10 ans de Patati Patata. La meilleure adresse pour la poutine ! Tout petit, une super ambiance. C'est plein mais ça roule & le staff est toujours super sympathique. Bravo Patati Patata 🌶?🫶🏻

Beautifully intimate, cozy vibe & friendly service! Food was very reasonably priced, french onion soup was on the saltier side but the poutine was delicious - great fries, amazing squeaky curds, delicious sauce. I wouldn't recommend going with more than 2 people, it's a very tight space. Adds to the cozy vibe though.
This is the ultimate in shabby-chic: it's good comfort food, in classic diner style with an edgy vibe. The poutine was delicious, the service was fast & friendly, & while it won't even get a Michelin star it will fill your belly & leave you happy!
LA MEILLEURE POUTINE. cheese squeak so loud i couldn't stop laughing. fries kept their crunch despite being doused in delicious gravy. god bless u patati patata
Bonne expérience à cette adresse. J'ai pris la poutine classique & elle était très bonne. Le fromage fait vraiment bien couic couic en bouche. En dessert le gateau de la reine elisabeth était également très gourmand. Le personnel est sympathique. Par contre l'intérieur est petit donc il se peut que vous n'ayez pas de places en arrivant & c'est mieux d'être 2 ou 3 max. C'est toujours possible de prendre à emporter si l'attente est longue. Les prix sont bas (11$ la classique & dessert à 3,5$).
