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.
Excellent little restaurant. Food is prepared right in front of you. Service is top tier & the food was amazing! We shared the Poutine classique (large shareable portion) CAD 11.00. The service is welcoming, kind & fast. If you're visiting Montreal don't deny yourself this experience. Great choice of beer on Tap. Best Poutine ever!!!!!!
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.

Deux fois où j'y ai mangé, & malheureusement, deux fois où je suis tombé malade par la suite. Dommage, car l'endroit a du charme & le menu alléchant, mais mon expérience personnelle n'a pas été positive.
Une excellente poutine à Montréal. Petit établissement surtout orienté pour l'emporter, mais quelques mange-debout sont disponibles pour manger sur place. La poutine est délicieuse : frites croustillantes, sauce bien équilibrée, fromage frais… le tout avec une petite touche originale comme l'olive sur le dessus. Le service a été très agréable & attentionné, avec notamment un membre de l'équipe (français) particulièrement sympathique. Une adresse simple, efficace & typiquement montréalaise.
Late night snacking paradise. The staff quick kind & efficient. Food portions & prices were also great no complaints. if they can (legally & by law permitting) get some outdoor seating while we wait or to eat outside either the summer would be awesome. There is a dingy park across the street though where you can do that if you like. There is seating inside though & it its more of a grab & go vibe.
J'ai été absent de Mtl pendant plusieurs années & c'était un de mes resto préférés. J'en reviens à l'instant & je suis vaguement déçu, même si c'était bien. 1. il n'y a plus d'option de petits bols faits en patate (en fait ça semble faire tellement longtemps que ça n'existe plus que même le serveur savait pas de quoi je parlais) & 2. les frites étaient bonnes & le fromage frais. Sauf que je suis un amateur & je ne qualifierais pas cette poutine de'de luxe'. Sans l'option'petit bol en frites', je ne suis pas certain que ça fait encore mon top 10 :)
