Paul Patates - Montréal

The poutine was excellent, but I did not feel welcome. I tried to sit at the counter, but I was informed that I needed to pay and tip before receiving my meal.

This restaurant is simply amazing! It offers the best snacks, hot dogs, and poutine in Montreal.

This restaurant in Montreal is one of the few remaining original casse croutes that still serves up the true classics. The overall environment has greatly improved since they changed their staff, resulting in much less drama. However, some customers may find that the prices have gotten a bit high for the food being served.

Great poutine has to balance 3 great elements, fries, sauce and squeaky curds. Some places put too many curds on top. Some don't know how to make their fries crispy. And we've all has that horrible chemical taste from bad sauce.Well.... this is one of the places that has learnt to balance the 3 very well. The sauce is tasty and there is just enough of it. The curds are good and there aren't too many or too few. But the real star here... the fries. These are great fries!So if you are driving by and wondering should I stop, the answer is... YES. For fries or a poutine. Because on this side of town, this is a great choice!

We drove down to Verdun and visited a classic casse croûte established in 1958.Impeccable fries with the slightest crunch to them. A classic sauce that doesn't try too hard to be special and reinvent poutine. Cheese at the perfect temperature before being added so it doesn't melt but also isn't cold... This Poutine is pure. Flawless.The Hot dogs were the ideal size in our opinion, big enough for 2 to be filling and somehow tastes fresher than hotdogs usually do; we're not sure if that's due to the bread or the sausage itself.We loved the food but what's really special and unique about Paul Patates is their homemade spruce beer! A recipe from 1898 We didn't know spruce beer could taste that good. We were previously used to the run of the mill grocery store soda type and we don't even know where to start describing how much better this is. You'll just have to go try for yourself!
