Little cheeseburger slider with salad and fries: A.
Side of poutine: B. No squeaks to be had, and the gravy was a bit thin. Fries were excellent.
Really liked the quick, friendly service and the whole set up.

we were excited to come here as we kept passing it on our strolls, the food was unremarkable, the beer was really good; however, their service was rushed and angry. in this industry (also in such a tiny shop) this makes all the difference.

the man at the cash register was annoyed and loudly tried to tell me "how service works in North America" all over a misunderstanding. I'm an Asian American... plus

Nice cumfy place, perfect for a midnight fast food craving. The people are passionate and the food is good.

love this place. good for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. their soups are killer, and the place has a lot of character.

If you can get a seat in this tiny place you're in for a treat (cheap treat though). I love the open kitchen concept, and the cosy feeling inside. Burgers, salads, fries and poutine are all great here.

Tasty burgers. Crepes are not so impressive but overall experience is great. Might be long wait cuz it is really small.

Cute little Resto and very nice waiters .
I would give it 4 stars if they can do better with their hygiene problem

This was my go-to breakfast spot while on my mini get-away. I was recommended this place by a friend and it did not disappoint. Food and service were superb! Customer service was excellent - the guys were so nice and friendly. The price of the food were acceptable - not dirt cheap but not ridiculously expensive - I'd say it's averagely priced. While the place is a bit small, the vibe of the... plus

best Poutine.
Nice staff at the Portuguese quartier of rue saint Laurent.
Very good.

This is a great neighborhood poutine shop. A pretty extensive menu - I had the poutine with roast beef - it was well priced albeit a bit basic. It was tasty with the most cheese curds of the four places we tried while we were in town. The regular poutine was delicious as well, thin cut fries with light grave and white curds.

It's not fancy, not big inside, so plan to wait for a seat. On a... plus

Very mediocre poutine.
Wasn't even hot, the cheese never even had a chance to melt. The gravy was not that great.
Have had a tastier poutine at the A&W on the saskatchewan border. Strange... plus

definitely one of the most popular places in town. it's small and crowded but I like this kind of atmosphere. Staff is nice, food is good and it's cheap.

A tiny luncheonette with an eye-catchingly blue exterior and a few tricks up its sleeve. Inside it's little more than a counter with a few other seats around it--room maybe 20 in total. I came here for the poutine, but noticed they also serve borscht, so I got that as an appetizer.

The borscht was more a creamy soup than the hearty vegetable soup you might be expecting, and it was beautifully... plus

Very tiny old-school diner type. Packed when we were there. Poutine seems to be the specialty and it was delicious. Service was friendly and funny. Local crowd was having a great time. Menu also had hamburgers and hotdogs I believe. A few local beers on tap that we tried were in the "okay" range. Great for people watching.

Such a small place but such big flavor. The service was prompt, the hamburger was fresh not frozen, the fries crispy just the way I like them and the salad well it's a salad I was there for the poutine. The gravy was extremely tasty and the cheese was just enough without it over riding the dish. Good times, good food and super service. We will be back.

The restaurant is small but good. All the staff were very friendly and price was reasonable. I just ordered one classic poutine to go. The food was made freshly and gravy was hot enough to melt the cheese curd. However, it seemed to be a little salty for me. Maybe it was not my dish. I preferred some kind of creative-style poutine~ I found that many customers chosen their burger. It looks good... plus

Patati Patata . I luv their poutines ... Always topped by an olive ... My all time favourite is their tiny cheese burgers. Not your typical burger bun ... It's actually a Portuguese rollThe place is tiny I always take it too go.

This diner has a huge all-day breakfast menu, but I always order their burger with cheese and an order of fries, except for one time in which I ordered the Special Luc sandwich- good, but is not as good as the burger. You're given a small piece of paper to indicate what you'd like to include in the burger. The burger is somewhat small but is just the perfect size paired with an order of fries.... plus

Simple cheap food done well! For 6.50$ I had a poutine, salads and slider! Everything was good. I liked the in house ice tea mini pitcher we got and the tofu burger was not bad at all. The service was friendly and quick.

Really cute dinner ambiance. Good cheap date night spot!

I would definitely go back!

Yeah so I used to live almost right next door and I miss those guys, the plates are generous and it is cheap.

It is tiny, less than 20 seats.The burgers at Patati are smaller burgers that you would normally have in other restaurants, which is perfect because the price is also small.

You can eat there or take it to go, no reservations of course!! I recommend the poutine patatine or Tofu... plus

My boyfriend and i wanted to try a new poutine place so we stepped in and ordered. The man asked us if we wanted to sit down or take out. Since it was 11:30pm we figured we'd probably take some home anyways. We asked to have in a to go box but we would sit there to eat; less dishes to do and more environmentally friendly.

"Could we have it to go but eat here instead?"
"Thats exactly what i... plus

This restaurant is the bee's knees... and by that I mean they are ok.

Service was very friendly. Place is tiny though with limited seating, so it may be best to get take-out. Poutine was heavy on the gravy and cheese. Perhaps it is traditional with all poutine, but the gravy tasted like it was out of a can.

Thanks to Yelp, I found this place. It was a hike up the hill from my hotel on St. Catharines Street, but it was well worth it. The sandwiches were great, and the poutine was as advertised.

10$ tip included for two 2 inch cheese burgers. Patty and buns were dry. Seasoning completely off. At least they're nice and quick

The best!

Me and my boyfriend were visiting Montreal for the first time, we ended up eating here twice!

Both times we got the burger w/ poutine And salad combo. Such a perfect balanced meal and a great price!

The customer service was awesome too, very friendly and helpful!

Great little place. Love the take out window on the side of the restaurant. Anything you order is going to be good and great Value. Great place for a quick bite. Reminds me of a small 1950's dinner. They get you in and out quick. 1/2 pitchers of beer are the way to go.

I visited Montreal for a bachelor party and my mission was two-fold: strippers and poutine. I had poutine from the dingy places on the side of the streets and from the fancy restaurants with their fancy steaks. Patati Patata stands above the rest.

Simple recipe, friendly service, bumping atmosphere and delicious poutine. What more can you ask for? Sure it may be standing room only and the line... plus

After trying to eat here for a few times, I finally got into the restaurant without having to lineup outside.

I got a bacon cheese burger and poutine for 11 something dollars, which is ok pricing.

The burger had the size of a slider. You know the little round bread you get in big packages at costco? Yeh, I fear that is the bread they use. The meat patty fit well into the bun, which means it's... plus

I don't want to harp on one of the few places in a 200 square km radius that actually serve vegetarian poutine, but....
I came here once several years back, and forgot about my first experience. After being dragged here by my boyfriend again a few weeks ago, I quickly remembered why this place didn't leave a lasting impression in my mind.
I love the idea of a mushroom based gravy; However,... plus

My first time in Montreal and trying poutine was a must. After much research on my fav foodie site, Yelp of course, Patati Patata was in my crosshairs.

Now, I am biased, I needed to find a veggie friendly poutine. I was with locals and they were a bit skeptical of this variation.

However, the fries, gravy, and cheese curds were delicious and just left you wanting more! The saltiness of the... plus

If a friend is visiting from out of province, take them here to show them real Québécois poutine. Rather than just a pile of fries, gravy and cheese curds, the poutine is balanced and is treated like a real dish, not as just an after-drinks carb. The atmosphere is artsy and local music festivals are always on the walls. The space is quite small though, but nearby parks make it great for take... plus

Average burgers and fries. Place can get pretty crowded quite often. Long waiting times even for take-out orders.

Not bad. Good value for money, but wouldn't be running back. We tried a burger, a fish burger and a tofu burger. Tofu burger was an interesting concept but didnt thrill me. The best was the fish burger.

Had a Great time ! The place was small lots of ppl quick service Staff is friendly Nice spot to eat with friends and kill time

Love this place, the food is pretty good, friendly staff and great service. It is always full we have to wait but it is Worth the wait

Great prices, tasty burgers, fries and poutine. For the record, my only other experience with poutine was in Toronto and I was totally underwhelmed. The poutine at this place is completely different and much better. The burgers are slider size, so if you get a burger with fries and salad, you won't be stuffed. I'll definitely return next time I'm in the area.

It's cheap. It's hearty. It's friendly. It's wonderful.

For someone who loves burgers and fries, I can't believe it took me 8 years to try Patati Patata. In my defence, Pitarifique is right across the street. But needless to say, I'm now hooked.

Breakfast, lunch or dinner, you can't go wrong with this spot. It's a bit cozy, and you may wait for a table, but it's totally worth it.

I've been going to Patati Patata for years and I never get sick of it! For around 8$ you can eat a satisfying, tasty meal in a timely fashion. The atmosphere is cosy and the service is friendly. Can't say enough good things!

I loved this place, the poutine was really good, service was fast and friendly, and I didn't expect the huge salad! It's very inexpensive, too.

This place served my first ever plate of poutine, and it was AWESOME. I also got a burger and a couple of beers. The prices were crazy cheap, at least way cheaper than what I'm used to. I think I left about $15 lighter and 5 lbs heavier, I can't complain except for that amount of time I had to spend at the gym to work off those calories!

The staff is very friendly and I thought it was located... plus

Got my first Poutine here, and it was very good!
This is my kind of place. It's small, affordable, fun urban decoration and the friendly staff serves good food.

This place is so cute and cool. It is really tiny (sits maybe about 10 people in total), but it's more of a take-out place. The atmosphere is very casual place. Their menus are written on the wall, and you seat yourselves. The outside looks like something out of a comic book. So cool.

It's open late so it's perfect for grabbing a late dinner or snack. I got the tofu burger with fries and a... plus

Have not tried the poutine.

The fries are good but on the thin and dark side and does not seem like it'd stand up well against gravy.

Willing to go try the poutine if the schedule frees up a little next time

"In terms of higher end stuff, Patati Patata is my favourite."

The best part about this place is the staff. The foods good too though. As a vegan it's hard to find places that cater to me and meat eaters. I got the vegan breakfast plate and it was perfect. After, the staff chatted with us and gave great recommendations on what to do while we were here.

Ordered hamburger, fish burger and tofu burger

We stumbled upon this place for breakfast in the summer of 2014 and wanted to go back every day that we were in town. Windows open, breeze blowing, sipping on freshly squeezed grapefruit juice - I was full of joy. When breakfast arrived with fresh fruit and perfect potatoes on the side, we knew this place would go down in history of having one of the most pleasant breakfast experiences (in the... plus

Non pretentious, amazing food & friendly service! The staff is very cool & has good recommendations. Poutine is definitely the star on the menu!

First brunch I had in Montreal &was lucky enough to get there before the rush! Lots of vegetarian/vegan options. Very affordable. Very filling! Amazing coffee. Friendly service. Regret not ordering the vegan poutine!!!

I love this place! Genuinely delicious poutine -- and I'm picky. It's also really cute and quirky. I love their mini burgers and the staff is super friendly.

Place is on the smaller side but still quite intimate. It can get busy sometimes so be warned.

Great burgers

We had 3 different ones, the veal, tofu and fish burgers and all three were great. Simple, petit and really friendly crew. Must stop by!

Perfect Vacation Breakfast

There's no way my arteries could handle eating bacon and egg poutine everyday, but it was perfect for vacation. The frites were perfectly crisp, even under the gravy, which itself was the ideal consistency - no thickeners needed. The crumbled bacon provided the perfect textural and flavor complement and the richness of the egg rounded out the dish.
Also, the... plus

Simple Small and Tasty

It's as small as everyone says, but I've always found a seat. The Poutine is first rate, cheap, and pretty big. My wife is gaga over the tofu burgers, but they are small. She's 95lbs and eats them two at a time. Fortunately they are very inexpensive. Very Franxophone, but they are happy to work with Englophones, I've never had... plus

If you don't go you're an idiot

So cheap and small and fast and perfectly delicious - the people and the food. Almost don't want to write a Trip Advisor review because it seems the line ups get longer every time I go. I swear their borscht saved my life one wintery, miserable night.
Their half pints of Quebec beer, perfectly small burgers, and eff-ing addicting shoestrings... plus

Hole in a walls can be just what you are looking for

This place is a tiny lunch counter sort of place. But it was just the kind of place that we were looking for after climbing Mount Royal. Get the BLT with an added egg in it -- very tasty lunch!

Comfort food to the max

I had an IPA for 3.5 and poutine, both delicious. Busy place. Decent service. I would go back again, and recommend it for the atmosphere.

Really good poutinerie

Nice (but very very tiny) place for poutine and burgers in Montreal. The staff is kind and young. The food is tasty but still cheap. Absolutely recommended for a quick stop.

A cheap hamburger

A very small and cheap place for hamburger. Hamburgers are very small (which correspond to their price). I ordered a dish of “steak burger” but I received a normal hamburger, then they changed it after 15 minutes to eat my steak burger with totally cold French fries!!

cheap tasty eats

This place is TINY! But a great place for authentic poutine and a small tasty burger. Even better if you are out in the Plateau area late as it is open unti the wee hours.

The best poutine I've ever had

The best poutine we found in Montreal, in a tiny spot. Luckily we didn't have to wait long for a table. Fun place to be.

Cute Little Hole in the wall

Loved this little place - warning it has limited seating but the service and food are great.
This was our first time here but recommended by the hotel we were staying at for good poutine.
It was very tasty and the hamburgers were delicious. All was reasonably priced and would definitely come again.

2.50 a Burger

Nice hole in a wall resto.
They serve burgers, and they do it correctly.
Almost always full, and sometimes hard to get a table.

delicious poutine, warm ambiance

really small place, maybe 10 seated? but people wait patiently in line. The waiters are super calm even when it's hectic and there is a cool vibe to this place.
the food is really really good and cheap but beware the portions are small. That's pretty much the concept of this place: delicious, small and cheap.
One of us got... plus

A little overrated

The place is pleasant but small. Have a good poutine and a quick service. I just think the place is a little overrated.

Top Shelf Service with Mouth Watering Poutine

Small place but they serve some really good poutine and hamburgers with really attentive staff. Very good place for a quick bite and the menu is very accommodating to add other items to your poutine/salad/ or hamburger.

Yum

The place was very small, only serves 8 to 10 people. The only two staff at counter were very busy, so it was kind of semi-self service where I had to set up the table for myself and one of the customer helped to pass me the dressing. Yet, when poutine came to table, it just made me mouth drooling!... plus

Best tofu burgers in town

Since I lived in this neighbourhood, way back in 1997, this has been a favourite place of mine. Get the plate (5$ -can't be beat) with a salad and fries, eat there, or take it to the mountain for a awesome picnic.

So what's so great about Putine

I was taken here to enjoy the "best Putine in Canada". It was average. It reminded me of when I ate in factory cateens in the UK - chips and gravy with everything!! The cafe is also very crowded and busy so not that comfortable to linger.

Amazing

Best poutine ever, amazing time and great service. One of the most memorable places to have the best french fries with cheese and gravy with friends.

Wow! In the top 3 poutine I have ever had in my life, if not the number one! So many places have a tendency to go too salty, but not here. If in Montreal, you MUST eat here, you will not regret it. Small space, friendly staff, even have a breakfast menu besides the usual burgers etc. if you want to stop in for eggs and coffee in the AM.

Can't go wrong with a 2 dollar burger. Small place, but the staff always make you feel welcome. Will even give you a glass of water while you wait for a table.

Cheap eats, decent taste

Two of us ate for less than $20--two basic poutines, two burgers, drinks included, so a very good alternative to the fast food chains! Burgers were different--meat tasted different, bread (not bun) was a good delivery vehicle for the burger... plus

Best $2.00 burger ever, really friendly staff, small and worth the wait.

According to TripAdvisor: Authentic Poutine, no frills

We tried this place out based on TripAdvisor recommendations - such a good call - yummy! It's a small, simple place (kinda Haight-Ashburyish), that clearly the locals go to, so you should too!
Simple, very tasty Poutine - and try the Patatine - an extra bonus of flavor! If you're in Montreal, take the drive up the hill and try... plus

Great food, decently priced

I visited here with my vegan fiance. This tiny joint had a diner-like feel to it, but the food was of much better quality than what you would expect. The guys working there were friendly, hard working, and quick to make everyone's meal. Compared to other restaurants in the city, Patati Patata had great prices. If you're in Montreal and... plus

Best Poutine In Montreal

Forget the Old City - this place is the best! It's really small, so get there early for lunch unless you want to wait in line for a seat. The Patati style poutine is their own concoction with onions and peppers, awesome! The fries are crisp and never soggy. One more thing - it's cheap! You can hpve Poutine, salad... plus

Personally I wouldn't stay to eat there, but I would have get poutine from this place anytime! There isn't a better place around to get poutine to go and there isn't a better place to stop for food when you are going home from a party.

Fresh fries, the whole meal prepared in front of you, extremely small/cosy place. The service might seem a bit "straightforward" from time to time, but hey,... plus

Good poutine

It's a must go for every visitor to Montreal. Though it's a tiny tiny place with not so much hygiene, the staff is great and the poutine is really good (though I'm not a fan of poutine).

I dream of Poutine

Montreal is known for many things and one of them is POUTINE!
The fries are very fresh, the cheese is great, and the gravy is to die for... and they top it off with a black olive! Just perfect.
Don't be fooled by the smaller portions compared to another great place (La Banquise), and don't be deterred by the long... plus

Patati Patata

Looking at the outside décor, Patati Pataai can be quite un-impressive, however it is another story on the inside. Very warm and inviting environment. The entire menu was written in French which was a disappointment since we would have definitely ordered something more adventurous. That does it for all my complaints. The traditional poutine was better than any I’ve had... plus

Great place

Food was great, service was friendly and everything was super cheap. Would definitely go again and recommend to a friend!

Cheap and Delicious

Just moved to Montreal and was in search of the best poutine. I have tried a few places now and Patati Patata is my hands down favourite for a classic poutine. The mini-burgers are also delish. Not to mention every thing is incredibly well priced and the servers were super friendly. It's dangerous that this place is just around the... plus

Best poutine in Montreal

This place is amazing! Its tiny- about 12 seats total. Prices are super cheap: you can get a poutine & salad for $6.50! Portion sizes are decent--but if you are hungry, ordering a few things is definitely a good idea! Everything is soooooo delicious! The Patatine is awesome- its poutine with peppers & onions. Yum!

Can't go past a $1.75 tofu burger

Cheap cheap mini-burgers are simple but tasty. Always fresh too, you can sit at the bar and watch them make it. Beer on tap, fries are good, poutine is good, burgers are good. It's usually busy in there and there isn't much space, but it's worth it if your passing by and need a snack.

Friendly, cozy counter

Fries are great. Mini-burgers, vege-burgers and breaded fish are quite good. Excellent value for the money.

First Poutine

Tried my first Poutine here while visiting Montreal this fall. It was excellent! The guys who run this friterie are very cool and quick at what they do. Yes, the dining area is quite small, but I think that's what makes the charm of this place. Had their Poutine et Salad with their creamy house dressing for about $7, can't... plus

One of the best poutines in Montreal

Patati is a small little hole in the wall. There might be room for 12 people inside, but it is worth the wait. Their food is freshly made, and their poutine is just so delicious. It's definitely worth making a trip up to the Plateau for the poutine alone.

Subpar

It is easy to see the appeal of this place: it is not relatively not expensive. That is it. Nothing really worthy as far as I am concerned

Great cheap place

Place is tiny and so bit smelly but hamburger was good and incredible cheap!guys working there nice chaps.totaly advise it if u r around in the area.

The demontignac is awesome! Cheap food, not too fat, fills you up really good. Excellent quality/value ratio.

not the best setup

The place was really small, smelled like a room in which you fried potatoes in all day (which they did), and the staff were too busy to look at me and get me order properly. The good was good and value for the money, but everything else was not

Great little place, good food, cheap prices

Ate dinner here our first night in Montreal. Very cool little 'hole in the wall' worth checking out. Definitely a place for locals, college kids, etc. Food was good, prices were cheap, staff was friendly. Nothing fancy and only a few small tables (and the counter) but they do lots of take out. We got a couple of burgers each... plus

Cheap, Delicious poutine and burgers

This place worth it if you're nearby. The burgers are small, but made to order and only $2.00 each. Poutine was delicious, and if you're not a fan, their regular fries are great. The menu is in French, but the cook/waiter/cashier speaks English and french. The staff is extremely friendly. The place is tiny and only seats 15 or so,... plus

one of best Montreal experiences

Siting at tight counter, watching them make the mini burgers oh so fast. Super tasty and affordable. A little money goes a long way here. very no frills, don't expect 4 star, white linens, just straight up basics done super well.
I could eat their fries all day long.

Great food for cheap

I eat here a lot. The food is prepared right behind the counter, so even while you wait for your dish to arrive, you get to watch the cooks and the whole process, which is always fun. I always go for the borscht. The poutine is my favourite in the city--really good fries. And for breakfast, you won't find a... plus

Best poutine we've had

The bulk of the charm has to go to the people serving you/cooking/ringing up the cash register behind the booth. It is clearly a neighborhood place. They have cool heads, friendly faces and EXCELLENT food. I had the poutine 2 times last time we were here and the first meal my boyfriend and I had on our recent visit to... plus

Best poutine we had in a long time

Just saw this little whole in the wall place while cruising St- Laurent. Very nice staff. Simply great poutine.

Delicious poutine

This place is an alternative to fancy or chain restaurants. Very, very simple, with 4 tables + bar (probably sitting 12-15 people) and a funky look with walls covered in graffiti, they deliver a state-of-the-art poutine with a delicious made-to-order hamburger. It is important to call out that these guys are in this market for more than 10 years, so... plus

Art of Poutine

This small cozy joint has everything: location (corner of Rachel & St-Laurent) artistic inspiration (the exterior is a Montreal Wall Fresque by Étienne Martin) personnal service (sitting at the bar will give you A sense of participating, sitting away will make you a fish in a bowl...) and finally, food (fresh or fried) will make your tummy happy.

Curious Little Joint

Now you need to be prepared for this place. First, it sits in a neighborhood of a lot of students and alternate lifestylers meaning lots of tattoos, piercings, funky folk. Not a soul bothered us. In fact they were very nice and helpful, but we were by far the oldest couple in the place.
We came with the recommendation of... plus

Down-to earth, french fry joint

I wouldn't say it's the best poutine in Montreal - that is quite a statement. I love the fries & the gravy, however the cheese curds aren't the best I've had.
Patati Patata is a cute, unpretentious establishement. There are only ~10 seats in the restaurant, therefore service is quick and patrons shouldn't overstay their welcome, however tempting it may... plus

Wow -- the poutine is SO GOOD

Heard and read a lot about this place. We had read that it was open from breakfast throughout the day, but the first time we were in the area was around 10AM and it was closed. Perhaps because it was the dead of winter! Anyway, we went back a couple of days later at 1:30 PM. It is VERY small... plus

I fell in love with this poutine.

Best poutine in montreal

I had 2 poutines before here in Montreal and this hands down was the best one. My gf and i each ordered one. She had the regular one and i had the smoked meats one.... melt in your mouth amazing delicious meat... not to mention the no frills yummyness of the poutine and curds... yum yum yum... she had the... plus

Poutine

Being in Montreal for the first time, we had to go get poutine. We checked out several reviews and this little place was the closest well-recommended spot.
I was a little surprised by how tiny the restaurant is (there is a bar counter and a few tables that can seat couples on high chairs). We were lucky enough to get... plus

Frite heaven other good stuff too

This place is full of comfort food done in a fresh way. Tiny spot only seats about 17 people. If there isn't a spot when you get there WAIT you will not be disappointed. Poutine seems to be one of the specialties that people go for. We had poisson burgers and frites. I had the half salad half frites. These... plus

"""cramped little casse croute. Almost like eating in a bus. Tood is alright, but nothing special."""

French fries with a sense of humor

Cool Place and Damn Cheap

With just a few seats this isn't the place for a romantic dinner, it's a place for a great lunch or a quick snack or dinner. The sandwiches are small, but so are the prices. Good poutine. But it is definitely a cool place to be with a very warm heart. And if you sit at the counter you can... plus

A brief stop here proved worthwhile. I ordered a Poutine 'Classique' and a Boreale Rousse draft beer. The staff at the counter were quick, alert, friendly, and cheerful. The order arrived quickly. The Classique was garnished with several whole, dark olives. Though I can't say I'm a fan of poutine, this was a toothsome, filling snack that was welcome after several hours of touring Montreal on... plus

An excellent diner with incredible poutine! Ask for the grilled cheese with pickles and enjoy a cold draft beer. The servers double as the cooks and are extremely friendly and accomodating.
