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.
Good quality simple "grubby" type of food. If you're in the mood for a good ol steamy, this place is great or Angus beef burgers, their famous épinette beer isn't for me personally, though the fries I ordered had no flavor to it, they didn't salt it. I don't know if that standard or they just forgot. The inside is cute, it's a time warp. You'll often see older folks in there eating by the counter, they seem to be regulars. You can't replicate that vibe. For take out, I'd suggest getting there 30 mins before closing if you want to order anything otherwise they're cleaning up & you can't order anything.
Bel endroit, prix accessibles & excellentes frites (pas tres etonnant jusque la). L'ambiance est joliment conservée avec la nourriture au comptoir & la musique des années 70/80.
Un des derniers fast-food classique du quartier Pointe St-Charles. J'y vais principalement pour leur bière d'épinette faite sur place & pour leur poutine. Bons prix, portions généreuses & service rapide & agréable. Petit endroit où il n'y pas énormément de places assises & qui est surtout fréquenté par les gens du quartier. Si vous êtes dans le coin, je recommande le détour 🙂
5 🌟 il y a 6 ans, Je n'en mets plus que 2 aujourd'hui. La poutine n'est plus ce que c'était, la sauce brune, les frites, ça n'a plus rien à voir. Puis le customer service à empêcher les gens de manger sur place à 18h25 alors que ça ferme à 19h, même un petit pogo, c'est pas cool.
The hamburger combo + poutine & spruce beer was fantastic. The burger was simple but perfectly cooked. The cheese curds were very squeaky. I really enjoyed the spruce beer, too. Highly recommended for some really good poutine!
La poutine est excellente , la Bière d'Épinette ! la meilleure que j'ai bu de ma vie WOW & que dire du service & de l'ambiance Retro :) une belle expérience.
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.
