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.
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.
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.
Genuinely the only poutine I've ever truly enjoyed!!! The cheese curds are soft, the graving isn't overwhelming &, somehow, the fries aren't soggy at all. The staff were super friendly too!
The restaurant is small, so it can get a bit chaotic & loud 😂 I'd recommend taking your poutine to go!
Definitely a must-visit establishment, of course for the food but also the vibes. Small place but great atmosphere. We went for a Patatine (poutine with cut raw veggies) & Grilled Cheese. Not a fan of Patatine as a concept (still wanted to give it a shot) but the poutine part of that was great. Grilled cheese was amazing. Would definitely visit again to try other things in the menu.
Staff was great, super friendly & chilled. Couple of tables & bar seating available inside but many folks just did a takeout.
Definitely recommended.

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.
Bonjour, je connais très bien ce restaurant. Je dois avouer que, le jeune josh, assemblateur de hamburger à ses heures perdu est un cuisinier hors pairs, un être au moins aussi exquis que les burgers qu'il confectionnent. Il a toujours le sous-rire & l'amour du travail bien fait, quand je vois ses gros doigts boudinés se poser sur les tranches de tomates, je dis humm. Quel délice ! Je recommande fortement !
Super expérience à Patati Patata. Les sandwiches sont frais & les frites sont croustillantes. De plus, le lieu est atypique & les gérants sont très sympathiques. Je recommande à 100%. Je reviendrais.
I was pleasantly surprised by the taste & freshness of the beef burger. It was full of homemade flavor, & the bread was really fresh. The staff were very polite & welcoming. Highly recommend it!
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!

Highly recommend doing takeout when it's a hot day. Lots of parks close by, even one right across the street to sit in the shade & enjoy a bite of delicious poutine. 10/10
Very nice burgers & amazing fries. Afterwords had a nice hot brownie. Total was very affordable & the guys working were very kind. Highly recommend if you're craving for burga!!
