Fast & yummy. Best basic/classic poutines!

Love the classic vibe here. Grab a couple of toasties & definitely get the homemade spruce beer. They have two options (one sweeter, one original) so you can get exactly what you remember. Great place for a quick bite.

I decided to try this place after seeing it on social media. I definitely understand why people recommend Paul Patates.

I got a classic poutine as well as michigan hotdogs for my coworker. The poutine was absolutely delicious & I got to taste the meat sauce that was on the hotdogs. I would buy a whole container of that sauce if I could because it was genuinely that good.

I waited around 30min for my order as I got there during a rush, around 6pm on a Friday. They do all orders in order which does slow things down a bit, but the service is very good & the girls that were working there were nice & apologetic about the long wait time which I understood.

Overall, super good & I'm definitely gonna come back to try those michigan hotdogs myself!

A classic corner casse croute, one of a dying breed. Excellent frites, good steamies, & a much more pleasant dining experience now that they changed staff to a new less drama breed of counter staff.

This is diner food perfection! The double burger was phenomenal. The two beef patties were perfectly seared & incredibly juicy, served on a fresh, toasted bun.
Equally great were the fries-thick-cut & tasting truly homemade.
It's a classic, satisfying meal executed flawlessly.

Best overall classic poutine in the city everything is done right, the sauce is neither too thick or runny, nor is it overly salty. Fries have a nice crispness & the cheese is up to standards. Also can't forget the spruce beer. Hidden gem in PSC, wish it was open on Sundays!

Meilleure poutine classique à Montréal, & évitez les foules! Portion généreuse de fromage frais & de vrais morceaux, pas ceux coupés. Best classic poutine in Montréal, plus avoid the crowds! Generous helping of fresh cheese, legit pieces not all cut up. Enjoy
