After enjoying the spruce soda made at Paul Patates, I was very hopefully to visit the place for a fresh soda and a meal. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed more than hour before it is supposed to close and I did not get to enter even though I arrived well within the time frame that the business advertises its open hours.

The poutine here is simply amazing. But my negative point? It’s pricey for a fast food restaurant.

Paul Patates est une véritable institution de Pointe-St-Charles et vaut vraiment une visite si vous êtes dans le coin. Un beau petit diner au look d’autrefois, on y trouve une des meilleures poutines du Sud-Ouest et la MEILLEURE bière d’épinette en ville! Mais, n’essayez pas d’y aller en lendemain de veille le dimanche… Ils sont fermés :(

In a world of over-polished poutine chains the old school, casse croute family holdouts own my soul. Keep your crazy hours, Paul Patate, just also keep your perfect fries, your best in the land homemade biere d’epinette, your funny friendly quick on the draw staff, and all the proud history of your time in Pointe St Charles papering the walls. Personally, the poutine gravy here isn’t my absolute favourite, but maybe it’s made to balance perfectly with the white vinegar in squeeze bottles on every table. Because get that all over a Paul Patates poutine then try to tell me you are not in pure poutine heaven.

Overpriced, bland food. I’ve had a cheeseburger there three times and every one made me sick. The only good thing they have is the breakfast sandwich, but I wouldn’t make a special trip for it.

Seriously excellent toastés and choice fries(what do you expect from a guy named«Paul Patates»?) in a classically kétaine diner setting(«depuis 1958»), and you can wash them both down with a legendary Bertrand spruce beer(«since 1898»). Try the spruce beer float(a true Montréal classic) when the weather’s fine.

I’ve been to Paul Patates of course after seeing it on Taxi 0 – 22. The food was good, I’ve had better. And there is one major problem. It is wayyy overpriced! I don’t know how the owner(s) can sleep well at night charging 4.85 $ for a small poutine and 3.25 $ for a michigan. come on guys. We’ll go somewhere else next time.

Pauley Potato is moderately famous for being the scene of a television show, but I want to talk about their Spruce Beer. The clear, non-alcoholic soda in it’s own labeled bottles smells atrocious, and tastes moderately good. It’s an experience, and probably worth the trip. The poutine is passable(is there any bad poutine, really?), and other items are not necessarily greasy spoon, but definitely a Montréal that Americans don’t go. That’s cool. I think there was a picture of Celine Dion in there.

Paul Patates semble à première vue un petit fast-food de quartier ordinaire et ces hamburgers, ses hot-dogs et ses frites n’ont rien d’extra-ordinaire. Cependant, au cas où vous né le sauriez pas, ce restaurant a été adopté comme lieu de tournage de la populaire émission de TVA Taxi 0 – 22 mettant en vedette Patrick Huard. Je dois avouer que ça me laisse indifférent et que ce n’est pas ce qui explique mon affection pour l’endroit. En fait, Paul Patates propose sa propose sa propre bière d’épinette, la Bertrand, qui est brassée sur place. Cette bière d’épinette traditionnelle, dont effervescence est issue du processus de fermentation, est excellente. Et elle rehausse le goût des hot-dogs, qui né sont pas mal non plus.
