This place, Lafleur on Cote-de-Liesse near YUL, was like a mirage. Where is there on this major…read morethoroughfare through an industrial area to put something down the hatch to tide me over at a later hour? The app was pointing to this nearby place and little did I know it's sort of like a Quebecois A&W that keeps late hours. It appears that this is a newer store to replace an older one. There is an outdoor terrace, a spacious ordering area, and a very nice dining room for this genre, complete with a crazy inscription (to an American) on the wall saying "Salut, mes p'tites frites." What? "Greetings, my little fries?" There was a fair bit of selection on Lafleur's menu. However, I wasn't looking for a hamburger. I settled on a chicken sandwich combination, but upgraded the fries to onion rings, perhaps as an excuse to say "rondelles d'oignon." Realistically, it's because I eat them so infrequently and wasn't expecting to converse with anyone. Everything tasted fairly good. I received good counter service at Lafleur. The personnel could tell I was not from the area nor familiar with their offerings. What is it with fast food and coffeehouse service in suburban areas of Quebec? It's reliably polite and up to the task! There can be marginal service at enough fast food places in the States, especially if a grittier locale. The prices were fine after being converted to U.S. currency, but the hefty sales taxes push it up. The Canadian government doesn't discriminate and even corrals us foreigners into paying for their national health care system through sales taxes. If transiting on fast and wide Cote-de-Liesse or wanting to get a bite outside the airport property, Lafleur ought to work. It won't be a haven for vegetarians and vegans, though. I think that, for fast food, eating one's food on the outdoor terrace and watching the traffic whizz by on a temperate day might actually be enjoyable.

It's awesome to have a local diner in the neighbourhood because it really embodies local flavours. A family owned business with a very friendly owner. We've done take out a few times here and the food is definitely consistent. Their subs are amazing. Their pizza was okay. Too thick for my personal liking. Their poutine is pure diner style and wasn't my favourite but their fries are delicious by themselves.

Came into this hot spot at 1030 at night, with a odd configuration of a line up, due to tables being everywhere, the line up absolutely moves quickly, do not worry. The staff were among the most friendly, comedic and jovial I've experienced in what feels like forever, even at this time at night, placed my order and then was sent down the counter line. My order took a bit longer then others, as everything was freshly made, and my meal involved chicken, I was asked my toppings, as the chicken was cooking and other people got food, at this point my poutine was ready, so I was taking some stray fries that didn't need a fork while waiting. When I got my food and sat down with my crew, the world stood still, while I was eating the combined poutine/wrap, to the point where I was burning my mouth, consuming the food in the process. Very good, very delicious, atmosphere is great, I can imagine the seating would fill up quick during high traffic food hours. if/when in Montréal next, would go out of my way to come back here.

I was visiting the nearby Atwater market and couldn't resist stopping in for a pre-dinner snack…read moreafter having heard praise for its poutine. The space was completely empty around 6 PM -- this is a small, local greasy spoon that opens at 4 pm but really does most of its business in the late night/morning hours. The poutines are offered in five different sizes ranging from mini to familiale -- I got the mini ($8.50, tax included) and it was the perfect portion for one (particularly if pairing with another item), with just the right fries, sauce, and cheese curd ratios. This was actually my first time trying an Italian (bolognese) poutine and I loved it and may very well gravitate towards it again in the future. Traditional poutine gravies can be very hit or miss to me and often too salty, but I really enjoyed the acidity from the tomatoes and the rich, comforting flavors of the ground meat in the sauce. The fries were warm and tender, while the curds had both good flavor and texture. I'd asked for the sauce on the side because I meant to take this to the waterfront to enjoy, but stopped a few feet from the restaurant to sample at peak freshness, and ended up demolishing it there in the space of a couple of minutes (including every last drop of sauce). Cash only and not much to speak of in terms of service, but your order is prepared right in front of you and it was nice to watch the woman behind the counter carefully package my takeout order and layer the fried-to-order fries and curds. Essentially, this isn't the kind of gourmet poutine you'll see recommended on a bunch of travel blogs, but it is pure comfort food, and Restaurant AA delivers on all the aspects you'd want it to.

EASY 5 stars. Even…read moreif my poutine had just been 'solid', I would probably award 5 stars for the relative quality and value of this place. Everything is made to order, and you can get a freshly grilled burger (fresh meat, not frozen) with toppings of your choice for less than $5. I think I only paid another $1.50 to have a double patty. Lots of options, for example getting a steamed hot dog for less than $2, having it grilled for about 50 cents more, or even a chili dog. Everyone I was with loved the burgers and hot dogs ordered. But it's called 'La Pataterie' for a reason. The fries (from potatoes if you follow the name) were easily some of the best I've ever had. And for the price there isn't even competition. Absolutely perfect crispy texture, and pillowy soft in the middle. They taste like they were twice-fried, almost Belgian-style. There is also a nice sweetness to the potato too. Real cheese curds for the poutine and though the gravy wasn't reaching the same heights as the fries, it was still good nonetheless. But to illustrate how good the fries were, my wife and I put in an order for fries alone after we shared a poutine. I can't think of any time or place I've done that before, but the fries were just that good. I only happened to come here since we were returning from the botanical gardens and it came up on a search. It's not necessarily a hidden gem as it's quite popular, but if this was more central, it would almost certainly find itself of 'must visit' lists, and it's probably a good thing that things stay the way they are.
