I heard that the fries were awesome, and reading from previous reviews that the poutine was a MUST! You have to have great fries to have great poutine, I think! So during my visit to Montreal, I kept bugging my husband that we had to stop by Patati Patata so I could try their \"classique\" poutine. \n\nI agree with other reviewers - this place is really cramped and not for the claustrophobic. The place seats only 13 people max and it is not a place where you want to bring your kids. It is definitely more for take out. You need to know exactly what you want, otherwise you'll have the cashier and cook saying unpleasant things in french under their breath. It happened to my friend, when she wanted to know what another customer was having. They just want you to give a straight order. The wait is incredibly long with the line out the door so be prepared to wait at least 20 mins.\n\nOverall, i really enjoyed the poutine! The thin cut fries, meaty gravy, and cheese were just the right amount to complement one another. I don't like it when there's too much gravy that is makes the fries soggy within the first minutes and it becomes a think bowl of muck. However, the portion seemed rather small for the price that I paid and in comparison to other places that serve poutine.\n\nIf the portion had been bigger I would have definitely given it 4 stars.
