Their poutines are SO good. You can get different meat put into it like pulled porc, hamburger meat, etc. They stack it do there is cheese, sauce,(and meat) in the middle as well on the top. A definitely must go if you’re in the neighbourhood. I also had their hot dog and burger and very good too.

Pretty decent poutine. Good gravy and cheese. Small location with friendly staff. I’d go again if back in the capital region.

Very casual, order and pay at the counter then find a table to sit down and eat. Went with three other people, order multiple poutines, a smoked meat sandwich, and the monthly special, which combined a small poutine, a steamed hotdog and a fountain drink. Staff spoke French and English and were pretty friendly. We were pretty full at the end of the meal, and it didn’t cost very much. Decent amount of parking available. There were lots of other menu options too, lots of different sandwiches, hot dogs, burgers, and additional poutines toppings

Cheeseburgers were tasty but pretty small. Poutine was alright. The guy didn’t give me my change, I didn’t care, I planned to leave it as a tip… But he was kind of rude and seemed annoyed. By the time I got my food I wished I had demanded my change, I would have left a smaller tip. If I go back it will be at a slow time in the day, the service area is pretty cramped.

Came here based on a recommendation from a friend. Good fries, good curds… good price. Just wish there was more cheese on the 2nd layer. I’d go back

Double cheeseburger was good, although small for the price. Poutine was mediocre. Gravy tasted like it was made from an instant gravy packet. Skip it.

Delicious poutine. Crispy fries, steaming hot gravy, and heaps of cheese curds. What more could you want? As some of the other posters have noted, they cram the contains full. The reason I knocked a star off was not for the food, but rather for the service and the atmosphere – the parking lot is filled with giant potholes and the cashier wasn’t friendly and served someone who had arrived after me first.

I was having an insane craving for poutine and LA Pataterie Hulloise is pretty close to my house so I decided to give it a try. The reviews on here were pretty decent too and I was not disappointed! The portions were huge! The fries were perfect and not salty which I love! The cheese curds were perfect and the gravy was delicious! I was very surprised by how much they pack into such a small container! I still have leftovers from yesterday! The staff were friendly and quick which I definitely appreciated! The parking lot is pretty small and a little torn up so be careful with your car. There is also street parking available near by. One thing to remember when visiting here though, is that they do not take credit cards! It is indicated on the Unilocal reviews that they do, but they only take cash and debit cards!

This has been my favorite poutine spot for about 8 years now in the NCR – I haven’t found anywhere that beats it! The fries and gravy are awesome, and the staff aren’t shy about loading up on the cheese curds. Highly recommend that you check it out!

Delicious, authentic poutine. The genuine article. Forget the burgers and whatever else is on the menu. This place is for fries. With gravy and cheese. Poutine with foie gras or butter chicken sauce or some other monstrosity? Forget it. Thick, brown beef gravy? No way. La Pataterie delivers sweet and tender fries under a savory sauce with squeaky fresh curd. Every town in Quebec has a place or two that’s perfected their poutine. This is one of a few Gatineau. I have been coming here since they advertised late at night on TV(maybe they still do). The poutine never disappoints. The service isn’t always fast and friendly and it can be tough to find a table. Whatever, I’ll eat it standing up. Yum.

I was expecting some really good poutine… The fast food shack was nothing special. The food tasted OK. I had a small poutine and a steamed hot dog and that was seven dollars. I asked for some water and that was quickly forgotten. Lousy service, little food… Nothing outstanding here I’m afraid.

All I got to say is if you get a chance to come here do so! The poutine was best I’ve experienced yet! When you do you will understand why I felt no need to write any more then I did.

I am always on the hunt for good poutine and tried this place out after googling for ‘the best poutine in Gatineau’. I wasn’t disappointed. I ordered a medium poutine with added roast pork pieces, yummy! The first thing I noticed is that when preparing the poutine, they add curds half-way through the fries, than add more fries, top withies curds and then the delicious gravy. The result is that the curds halfway down have started to melt when you reach them and that is wonderful, the stringy, stretchy gooey-mess that is so true to Quenec poutine. The fries are ever-so-slightly sweet, which may sound weird but trust me, combined with the hot salty gravy and springy-curds they make an awesome taste explosion in your mouth. Great poutine!

This place has great poutine, but it does not take credit cards(only debit cards were accepted when we were there) and it does not take American dollars. The burgers are OK, not great. The patio is nice during the summer.

I’m pretty skeptical of places that claim to have amazing poutine. Certainly it’s a tall order to live up to. I’ve been to my fair share of poutine joints and while some of them have been good, none can come close to the awesomeness that is Pataterie Hullouise. I actually stumbled on this little gem by accident. Got lost in Quebec trying to find my way back to Ottawa. Sitting in the parking lot I looked up a couple reviews and this place seemed to have gotten very good reviews. Alright. So I went in and tried. First off, as is the norm for Quebec, the entire menu on the wall was in French. Secondly, the staff spoke French. So I tried my best and said Bonjour! And then proceeded to order a large poutine. It’s clear that my French is horrible so the nice girl behind the counter started speaking English and asked if it was for here or to go. Pretty standard. When the poutine was ready, a cook in the open kitchen placed it on the counter and announced something in French. The girl behind the counter either didn’t hear it or didn’t notice because it just sat at the counter. A nice gentlemen who was waiting for his poutine then told me that it was. Age poutine and he thought it was mine. I awkwardly grabbed it and went to sit outside. It amazes me how different the cultures are between two provinces. I love the French. And I wish I could speak it. If you travel to the smaller towns in Quebec, try to speak French whenever you can. Apparently you get better service. Anyway, to the poutine. AMAZING. The cheese curds actually squeaked. They squeaked! Cheese curds have never squeaked for me before and you know that you have quality cheese curds when they squeak! The gravy was heavenly and the fresh hand cut fries were to die for. A simple poutine that nearly brought me to foodie nirvana. Highly recommend. One thing I noticed above all the awesomeness was that the fries were kind of sweet. It was a nice sweetness, not sugary, but I hadn’t had fries in a poutine before that were sweet. I attributed it to the freshness of the potatos that they hand cut in the kitchen. It must have been that. Either way some people seem to like it and others hate it. So be warned that there is a bit of sweetness to the fries but the gravy and cheese curds balance it nicely. Everything about this little restaurant screams delicious. If I’m ever in the area again, I’m going to make a trip her and order the family size one that is something like 1kg of poutine for 4 people and eat it all by myself GOHERE.

Coming from deep in the Quebec ‘boonies’, I’ve had my share of excellent greasy spoon fare, from a variety of exotic locations — a trailer ‘beached’ on the side of a backroad, a docked house boat and even a gutted school bus in a Zellers parking lot in Abitibi(Northern Qc). Poutine is a staple of Quebec culinary folklore, and these types of locations have always been associated with full poutine-satisfaction. Although la Pataterie Hulloise does not quite match the ‘colour’ of such places, it does hit the mark with its Poutine: fries have a hint of sweetness(the secret is using really old potatoes — a step further and you could make booze out of them), the gravy is dark and rich and the cheese curds are fresh and plentiful. The quintessential cure for a hangover — the deliciousness of the ‘family size’ poutine from la Pataterie Hulloise may clog your arteries but will definitely warm your soul. Yum!

Le point fort de l’endroit: c’est une vraie cabane à patates comme il né s’en fait plus. Sinon c’est pas mal tout… Ça coûte beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c’est. J’y vais seulement parce que c’est à côté de chez moi, quand je suis en manqué de grosse friture grasse. La poutine est bonne, mais honnêtement, avoir le choix entre une Ashton et celle-là je prend Ashton… Suggestion: si vous tenez à essayer leur poutine, prenez la sauce BBQ!!!

I came expecting some BADASS Québécois poutine… Like, top notch stuff. It just wasn’t that great though. The gravy was too salty, and the server let it slip that they make it from a powder. New York Fries poutine is better. Isn’t that sad?! New York versus Quebec poutine competition… and NEWYORKWINS! It’s a sad day for my fellow Francophone countrymen.

I actually have never heard about this place before, but my friends kept raving about how there’s a famous poutine place around. I was in Quebec, so I really couldn’t resist. I love cheese. When I first saw this place I thought it was kind of funny cause it’s literally a little convenience store sized place. The store itself is about half kitchen and half sitting area so don’t expect a giant cafeteria. When we ordered, the person that took our order actually told us to get the«Family sized» portion because there was 4 of us getting poutine. We agreed cause it ended up to be about 3.50 so that was a big win. When the poutine actually got here, holy crap I was shocked. I don’t think you could have even closed the lid on the container. It was packed FULL off potatoes cheese and gravy. We split it up with the plates they gave us and dug in. The cheese curds are the first thing I noticed. They were super squeaky and delicious. Damn you frenchies and your good cheese. Second was the french fries. Personally I really liked them. They weren’t really fries, but rather potatoes. The thing that made them different was the softness I guess. They weren’t fried to the point of crispyness, but everything was nice and soft. Almost like homefries(the good kind, not the cut up square dice shaped kind). I think the fries really paired well with everything else and matched well. I really don’t like when the fries act like daggers in poutine. This is definitely a hidden gem, and people that know definitely aren’t shy about letting everyone know how good it is. Do yourself a favour and give this place a try.

Oh man… I love me some poutine — but I don’t indulge often. With that being said, when I get that craving I want something close to divine. La ePataterie nails it for me. Tons of delicious fresh curds, the perfect consistency of gravy and crispy fries. Simple, beautiful poutine. Try the hot dog as well — tastes reminiscent of Montréal dogs. Also — food is super cheap which makes me happy.
