Had classic poutine, beef burger with cheese & bacon (extras), & a coke. Always loved their poutine, & it's still great. Burger was great as well. Good friendly service. Quick & easy turn around from ordering to meal as well.
Due to the size of establishment & its popularity, sometimes you might have to wait to get in if that's your plan. But it's worth.
This place was recommended to me by some friends in Ottawa. My favorite dining experience in Montreal. I got poutine at the bar, but it was also really popular for takeout.
Out of all the places I ate in Montreal, this was my FAVOURITE poutine. Squeaky curds, with perfect ratios of cheese to gravy to fries. The portion was generous, you get so much for what you pay. I was more than satisfied after eating here.
Service was super friendly & nice. I love the old school interior & being able to see the food made right in front of me. This location in particular is a MUST for poutine.
J'avais vu ce restaurant dans lonely planet & honnêtement pas déçue. C'est tout petit & atypique, les cuisiniers sont supers gentils & de bons conseils ! J'ai pu déguster ma première poutine. Cet endroit est notamment connu pour ses poutines. Je vous conseille aussi leur burgers qui sont excellents.
Rapport qualité prix au top.
Merci à Pavel & à son équipe pour l'incroyable poutine extra bacon. Wow un 11/10 sur les gars. L'arrêt était très bien choisi pour cette heure tardive, bonne musique au rendez-vous. #Ambiance
Wow it really lived up to the hype!! This is the poutine I came to Montreal for!! It's definitely a hole in the wall vibe being quite small but the service & the food made up for it. Despite it being incredibly popular & busy, the gentlemen who served us took their time to make sure we were very well taken care of. The team had such a good work dynamic, working so efficiently to give the best service possible. They were all so genuine & you can tell the love they put into their food & service.
For the people hating on this place, go spend triple the cost at a'fancy' restaurant for 1/4 of the portions with mediocre service :)

Really good poutine! We got there before the lunch crowd & it got packed shortly after. Very quick & friendly service. No high chairs or boosters & the chairs are very high so not a good spot for dine-in with a toddler.
Excellent hole in the wall eatery. Great poutine, thin crispy fries & just loaded with squeaky cheese. Pairs perfectly with the blond ale on tap. Looks like lots of local's & regulars eat here. There's 2 tables for 2 & 8 stools at the counter.
Lots of take out business & there was a line when I arrived. Service is speedy but very warm & welcoming.
Just had poutine but everything else looked & smelled amazing.
Ever have an experience where someone makes you feel awful for doing something you didn't realize was'wrong'? When it happens while eating poutine it sure feels unnecessary & appetite spoiling. It happened to me at Patati Patata tonight - I was taking a few bites out of the take out container while waiting for my friend to order - the worker sternly told me they didn't want'garbage' in the restaurant & asked if I wanted a bowl. I had no plans on leaving the take out container as'garbage' in the restaurant. The worker was too young to be so uncool & unkind. My guess is you have many more options in Montréal for poutine where they don't shame you for eating.
Real deal hole in the wall awesomeness! Amazing poutine & also hamburgers!!! The best of the best in Montreal but be prepared to eat standing or take out. Very small place.
