This restaurant has old school dining vibes inside. The staff were really nice. Poutine was pretty good!

Already limited with the fact that I'm pescatarian. I didn't like being told the poutine isn't spicy when I asked about the vegetarian gravy they use when it's chipotle apparently. I thought a veggie burger and onion rings would go better, but I got home, and I'm honestly pissed that I paid more than 4$ for literally 7 onion rings (and one's super tiny). Wt 😒

The portion was way lesser than I expected . I got a large and I got what a medium (or less) in comparison to other places. I also got a few bones (perhaps from the broth?) which didn’t feel great.

Service was fast, and the interior was big enough to accommodate me and several others comfortably. The food was really good. The only suggestion I'd have is to give the poutine fries maybe 20 seconds more in the deep frier depending on your preferences, just to compensate for the gravy. Other than that, it was perfect, even the cheese curds, which were absolutely perfect. I've tried a lot of cheese curds too. Service was fast and friendly, and I had no issue ordering in English. I'd recommend the classic poutine for sure.

We haven't been here in years and we should have waited longer to come back. The atmosphere and service was great. But the poutine were aweful. The potatoes were not fully cooked and the brown sauce was way to salty.

Délicieux. But I tried the Italian poutine so you don't have to. The verdict: stick to the classic poutine.

Decided to give it a try and it was just ok overall. We got the large size poutine, sausage and a cheeseburger. The poutine was good, but not great. The cheese is squeaky, which I love so thank you for that. The gravy is ok but I have had better elsewhere. Fries were ok. Sadly the sausage had no flavour at all. It was displayed as an Italian sausage, so we expected it to be spicier. The hamburger was just ok. In terms of pricing it is actually very good compared to other places but you are also sacrificing some quality for the lower price. Service was good and there's lots of seating outside.

Made a random stop here based fully on vibes and they did not disappoint. Friendly staff, fair prices, good portion sizes, fast service, and oh so squeaky curds in a classic diner setting that doesn't pretend to be an "experience." Pinned and will 100% stop in next time I'm in the area.

I had heard a lot of good things about Pataterie Hulloise, but I honestly wasn’t sure if it would live up to the hype. I decided to stop by and order a small poutine just to test it out for myself. People were not exaggerating. The poutine was absolutely excellent — fresh fries, great gravy, and cheese curds that were on point. Easily the best poutine I’ve had in Gatineau so far. Safe to say I’ll definitely be back. Next time I’m trying the hotdogs.

I live nearby and I want to love it, but the food just sucks. The hamburgers are way over-salted. Coleslaw on a burger just does not work. They drown their mediocre fries in sauce, so if you don’t eat your poutine quickly, it’ll be a soggy mess. You can’t really mess up a steamy, but they are below average. I could overlook the messy and dirty interior if the food was great, but it’s the food is consistently bad so the dirty greasy interior and exterior makes the place that much less appealing. The only upside is the very nice staff. I would give them a higher rating if the place wasn’t so dirty. I love this kind of food and so once every couple of years I go back to see if I was just exaggerating to myself, but no, it really is that bad. I love greasy spoon institutions but this one is undeserved.
