| - Disclaimer: This review is based on two vastly different experiences that I've had with the poutine here. The first time I had it was for takeout a little under a year ago, and unfortunately, it was pretty awful. While the fries were deliciously crisp and held the gravy and cheese curds well, the gravy was so salty and olive-y that I couldn't even finish it. I swore I would never go there again, but out of curiosity, I decided to give it another chance.
When I went there recently, I decided to eat in, and upon first bite, it actually tasted really good. Perhaps it was because I was famished, but I finished off the whole plate without losing my appetite. Maybe it has to do with the fact that the gravy, when put on a plate, has more room to spread out and evenly distribute itself among the fries than when it's just sitting on top of them in a box, but it had a unique flavor to it that made it quite addictive. I left feeling very satisfied and content with my experience.
So, long story short, it's probably best to eat Patati Patata's poutine inside, as it will be much tastier, easier to digest, and feel less like salt overkill than if you take it to go.
