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.
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.
Vous allez pas dîner dans ce restaurant : vous allez vivre une expérience. Honnêtement l'un des repas les plus chaleureux que j'ai pu faire à Montréal, rapport qualité prix au top, une ambiance simple, on se sent presque chez soit, la poutine est très bonne, c'est frais. Foncez
Oh my god the poutine here is incredible! We also had the $5 burger & $7 beers, you really can't beat the price for the amazing quality of food. My partner had the French onion soup & it was amazing ad well!
I thought the burgers & sandwiches are truly enjoyable. The poutine is also good, though the gravy is quite different. It is much thinner & lighter on pepper than usual.
The poutine was great - the squeakiest cheese curds I've had in Montreal! The French onion soup was also good, I generally find it too salty but the one here had a good balance of flavours.
