Pattaterie Chez Philippe

Don’t let the «divy-​hole-​in-​the-​wall» décor get to you. This place has been around forever and what this place is, is a burgers and fries place and that’s it. Thing is they don’t do it well, they go above and beyond by grinding their own chuck every morning and kicking you in the teeth with a burger-​gasm. It’s right up there with Restaurant Grégoire in Mercier. It’s the burger that burger dreams are made of. Seriously GO. EAT. NOW.
The fries are also top notch. The rings, though frozen, are still awesome and to top it off they haz Stewart’s soft drinks. And all this is some cheap eats to. Wam bam thank you mam.

This place is fantastic. Like traveling back in time to a place where people took pride in this kind of fast food. The family that runs the place really seem to care. The poutine is as it should be — the fries are the perfect texture. We order ‘Le Zeke’ a burger between two grilled cheese sandwiches — and split it between us. YES! A BURGER BETWEEN TWO GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES! A real gem.

Mon petit bonheur hebdomadaire !
Une vraie légende !
Même lorsque la fil d’attente va jusqu’à l’extérieur du restaurant, le service est rapide et courtois. La poutine Italienne, faites avec une sauce à la viande sans tomate, donc pas vraiment italienne, est la meilleure poutine de Montréal. Sans l’ombré du moindre doute.
Rapport qualité/​pirx INCROYABLE

This place has been here for a long time and I’ve gone past it so many times that I felt it was time to drop in an see what’s what. The steamie was good. The hamburger actually had really spicy mustard, both were good. Where was the low point? The fries, limp and like wet noodles.

I am always on the lookout of a good poutine. Everyone has their idea of what makes up a good one, here is mine…
Fries that are not too thick, not too thin, must taste potato like, not too greasy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with a little salt. As for the gravy, nice flavor, no lumps. Cheese on the bottom, then fries, then cheese, then sauce. God, I am a pig but if I am going to splurge, it needs to be worth it:)
It’s on Amherst in the Village, nothing special in terms of décor etc but it is always busy, the owners are very freiendly and the food is always good.
Another thing… the poutine comes in a styrofoam bowl, which always makes it taste better in my opinion:) I am weird like that:)
Anyway, I always order the small, with extra cheese which they put on the bottom, they cook your fries when you order and the counter is right infront of everything so you see it being made which I also appreciate. They do not salt their fries, so once they are cooked they bring me my bowl, so I can salt them, then take it back to the counter to finish making it.
Their hamburgers are really good as well. They are no frill type of burgers, don’t expect a multitude of special toppings but the meat is freshly ground on location daily, and all their toppings are crisp and fresh and the end result is a very happy mouth!
Try them out if you are in the area. Oh, they are not open late, so check the website out for their hours.
