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.

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.

Bonjour! Je tien a partager mon expérience car le service d'y hier m'a beaucoup déçu . Cela fais quelque fois deja que je vien chez Paul patates & jai toujours eux un tres bon service. Mais hier setais de trop. Je suis aller chercher une frite familial pour compléter mon souper & rendu a la maison quand jai servie les frite je ne sais pas le comment du pourquoi mais il y avais plein de poils🤮(photo a l'appui)je suis donc retourner au restaurant pour en faire part mais la jeune fille venais de fermer le restaurant elle n'a pas voulu nous entendre & nous a ris au visage au travers de la porte. Je trouve que ses un manque de professionnalisme. Donc vous devriez reverifier votre stock avant de servir les chose .
