It used to be my favourite place for a burger & poutine but they seem to have change their recipe. The hamburger was larger, but less flavourful & the poutine sauce was watery. I don't know if this is to cut costs, but I am sad to see a change in the quality of the ingredients.
Tried the classic poutine as this is one of the best places to get it. Loved the decor in the place which gives it real character.
As for the poutine, it s basically chips & gravy with cheese curds. Definately food after a few beers rather than a romantic table for two. I think there is no way you can get this wrong. There are other things on the menu but i d already eaten at schwatze s.
One of a hidden spot to get some real good poutine. Food came quickly & everything was made fresh. Staff were very friendly.
It was one of the best poutine I've ever tried.
Will highly recommend :)
Tried authentic poutine here, it's was good! Mozzarella was squeaky so you KNOW it was high quality. Sat in the window seat & had a nice view of the bustling downtown. Def recommend for some of that poutineeeee.

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!
