Overall, reviews describe Paul Patates as a classic, comforting Quebec diner experience with poutine that many say is near perfect. Generous portions, good value, and quick, friendly service are repeatedly noted, along with a retro atmosphere, chrome stools, and even a house spruce beer that many consider a highlight. The poutine is praised for crispy fries, rich gravy, and fresh cheese curds, while the burgers and hot dogs are also well liked. Occasional comments mention slight cheese shortfalls, fries that can be less crispy, and hours that are sometimes limited, but the overall sentiment is that this spot delivers authentic, satisfying comfort food that many would return for.
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!

One of the best old-school greasy spoons in the city, everything is delicious, & the staff is always friendly. This place has to be one of the few left that still sells spruce beer!
Super poutine!
J'ai mangé ici plusieurs fois & c'est selon moi la meilleure poutine du quartier
L'endroit est simple chaleureux on se sent chez soi. Les portions sont généreuses & le prix raisonnable. Rien à dire je reviendrai.

Très bonne poutine, frites excellente, très bonne sauce, bon fromage mais pourrait y en avoir plus. Une institution à visiter absolument! Mais surtout, accompagné votre repas d'une excellente bière d'épinette!
This place has the distinction of being a favorite spot for Celine Dion & many other famous Canadian & international celebrities. Here, you're in for one of the most delicious burgers & poutines of your life, all while enjoying a warm & cozy local atmosphere. Jacqueline is always ready to welcome you with her warm smile & hospitable personality, & she always remembers your favorite order. She prepares her handmade burgers with love, offering a unique flavor that sets them apart from any other burger. The fries used for the poutine are freshly made on-site, which, in my opinion, is a big plus. The setting is local, incredibly welcoming, & her young, friendly staff are both polite & kind.
