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.
Definitely a local shop that doesn't have a lot of seating (3 tables [2pax], 5-6 bar & 2 window). We managed to get the window seat so it was a sweet spot for people watching. It was a relaxed dining experience, the poutine & the hot dog was good.
Terrific, ridiculous good. They are getting the most out of a fryer, flat top grill & toaster oven. Wow. Went for a late night bite as we had just drove in from NYC. There was a line that moved quickly. Care was taken with every customer & dish that was served. Fun to watch. Well done gentlemen!
cozy place with straightforward, delicious poutine. have a tofu poutine for the lactose intolerants, but the cheese curds are perfect & the gravy is scrumptious
I first tried this place in 2002 & was really surprised it was still open last week when I returned to Montreal. The lineup was out the door for a reason. Great tasting burgers & fries, just like I remembered them. I had the Mediterranean burger & the regular one with fries. Amazing. Prices were very reasonable as well, I was thinking they would have increased more from 22 years ago but still very reasonable. Great service as well. Hope this place keeps going for another 22 years!

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!
This is not the swankest of fancy restaurants. This is not haut cuisine. But in terms of value for money you will not find better. The food is very good, VASTLY better than most restaurants that charge more. Moreover their lower than most prices are exceedingly reasonable given their quality. It is a small place, but cozy & atmospheric. Were I local to this establishment, I would be a regular.
