For decades, La Pataterie has been a go-to greasy spoon for the residents of Hochelaga. This no-frills spot on Ontario Street has built a reputation on serving solid, satisfying fast food—think steamies, burgers, and a poutine that hits all the right notes. The fries are fresh-cut, the portions generous, and the prices won’t break the bank. Sure, the décor leans more vintage than trendy, but that’s part of the charm. Locals love it for the friendly service and unpretentious atmosphere.
