We revisited Montréal over the long weekend with our daughter & our 1st meal was poutine from Paul Patates which was low key & popular among texi drivers. I am not a fan of fries so usually don't like poutine but their poutine was impressively satisfying with rich gravy.

I love hole in wall restaurants, & this was just great. The burger & fries hit the spot. The poutine was good. I like that they had the option of mini-poutine. It was just perfect for my kids.

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
