PITARIFIQUE

Excellent takeout place (also have a few tables if you want to dine in). I absolutely recommend their delicious souvlaki pita. The best I have eaten in years. Fast service, cheap, excellent, what else are you looking for?

Delicious, affordable, convenient, and cheerful- what more do you want? English and French spoken. My teenaged son needed a familiar cuisine and ambience in the midst of all the variety this neighbourhood offers, and this fit the bill, perfectly. Friendly staff and photos from the menu really helped, too.

Stumbled on this gem. good service. delicious food.

I ordered The Souvlaki pork plate, and it was the best shashlik I've had in the last five years. The portion was substantial, incredibly delicious, and hard to resist. While the place may not be fancy, the food is definitely worth a visit.

I absolutely recommend this amazing restaurant to everyone!! Hands down my favorite restaurant in my area! Staff are really incredible at creating amazing, mouth watering dishes with ease. Everytime I come, I am completely satisfied! Good job guys!! Keep it up!!

Such a primo Montreal burger. Really recommend getting a bacon cheeseburger. They use a fantastic cheese that is delicious without being too cheesey. Really nice toppings and fries and food was HOT and fresh. Poutine and fries are also great.

★★★★★ I haven’t had a pita like that in a while! Pitarifique absolutely blew me away—the flavors were incredible, the ingredients were fresh, and the pita itself was soft and perfectly warm. From the first bite, I knew I was in for something special. It was so good that I ordered a second! The quality and taste are unmatched. If you love pitas, this spot is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The gyro was amazing would recommend to all my friends 10/10 recommend. The owner and the workers always have a smile. Thank you

Their vegetarian poutine is the bomb. Every time I am in Montreal I get it here. So good. Pitas are very good too.

We stopped in out of famine and too tired to walk. Turned out to be a very good find. Tiny dining room with seating around the window. We ordered chicken pitas combs. Love their fries. Good old hand cut fresh potatoes. The pitas were very tasty. Soft fresh bread with crispy lettuce and savoury chicken. Not too much garlic sauce. Excellent food. My buddy had a burger. He was pleased with the size and quality. Counter service but speedy prep. Enjoy

This place came highly recommended from a local, and I can understand why. So poutine is not their main fare, however, it is one of the best poutines I've tried in the city! What makes it different is the gravy. It's not a heavy dark/beef gravy like you'd expect, it's a much lighter, but still flavourful almost rotisserie-like gravy (reminiscent of the gravy at Swiss Chalet but in the best way). Fresh cheese curds (to be expected here) and fries had a good texture (just enough bite to it, soft and pillowy on the inside). Would highly recommend, great price for a large portion as well!

Ordered the Chicago Pita last night for dinner! It has Lamb & Beef with Tzatziki Tomatoes, Lettuce & Onion. With a side of fries. One of my favourite items from the menu here! This establishment is consistently great. Food is always flavourful, ingredients fresh & quality excellent. Would highly recommend this spot!!

Great food, great quality, great quantity! Very underrated business, friendly staff and very, very reasonable prices for ample portions. I usually get a cheeseburger and poutine- much better tasting and size than certain other burger places in the near vicinity... ;) always look forward to eating here

From the outside it's your typical neighbourhood corner casse-croûte, but the gang here make an extra effort with fresh ingredients and good portions. From tasty burgers and dogs to some Greek favourites, there's a hidden gem here and the reason I ventured into this place - their Philly Cheese Steak Sub. And boy is it worth it. Outside of Philly I haven't had a cheese steak this good. And you can get an 18 inch sub if you want to share it - agreat alternative to pizza night

The beef pita is really good and cheap (under $7). I haven't been to one pita place where the beef wasn't dry, here it's tender and flavourful. Overall the texture is really nice with the tzatziki sauce. So is the Pitarifique poutine - just a great combination of toppings without being pretentious. Decently priced, lots of different meats available. A neighborhood staple, that's for sure.

So glad I heeded Yelp reviews and stopped in here while my boyfriend and I were visiting the area. We were pretty hungry and decided to share the Pitarifique Poutine which was absolutely delicious and loaded on with tasty soulvaki. You can definitely tell this a local spot for students and others alike. The platters looked delicious and huge as well but we weren't hungry enough to get one though I will say everything looked plentiful for the price asked! IG: @KFitzEats

Besides their food being amazing. I forgot my purse at the restaurant and they went above and beyond to make sure I got my purse back. They were able to obtain my phone number and then text me to let me know I had forgot it. Thank you so much for your kindness and of course for a full and happy tummy. Will definitely recommend to friends!

Staying up late to write a paper? Come to Pitarifique. Had a long night out at the club and working up an appetite? Slide by Pitarifique. Just hungry and craving a cheap and delicious meal? Go to Pitarifique! My regular order flip flops between the cheeseburger and the pita souvlaki and I ALWAYS get onion rings. The cheeseburger is flavorful and is so good with a dab of tzatziki. The pita souvlaki is to die for, the meat is soooo tender and well seasoned. And the onion rings? Wow. To die for. They're always served fresh and are the perfect level of crunchiness.

Got delivery--solid gyro pitas. Loved the side salad as well. Great dressing, fresh veggies. It was exactly what we needed!

This place is super low key but really cheap and delicious. I've had their philly cheesesteak and pitarifique poutines and both are awesome and huge with tons of toppings. Souvlaki was also surprising good, really tender and juicy meat. A plus is that it's such a casual takeout-y restaurant but they serve beer (also for cheap)! It's maybe not the ambiance for a first date, but for a 758th date with your partner of several years It's perfect.

During my visit to Montreal, I had a single thought in my mind..."must try poutine" I tried to go to the more known place across the street, but it was small and cramped and the service seemed non-existent. I looked out the window and saw Pitarifique was fairly empty and had tables so we made the switch. I ordered the small veggie poutine and I'm so glad I did. The small was huge. As far as the taste, I'm no poutine expert, but this was amazing. I couldn't get enough of all the flavors blended together from the gravy and cheese and veggies. For a first poutine experience, I definitely picked right.

Best cheese steak hoagie north of Philly and I'm a Jersey girl. A neighborhood staple for about 13 years now, this is a family business with consistant high quality excellent food. The fries are to die for, all of the poutine are great. Excellent chicken slouvaki and Greek salad. Perfect view out to St Laurent and a great place to sit at such a central corner. I've never been disappointed and I've been going the whole time. Totally a step above every other place that's similar. Often super busy. Open late and you can have a draft beer too. Don't miss it.

Best pita wrap I have had yet and I am a big fan of pita yes? Only problem is some of the newer employees are a little sloppy when assembling certain dishes. Otherwise quite amazing.

Want a hot, drippy toasted sub to warm your tummy? Come here for a cheap and cheerful eat. I had a sandwich made with chicken shawarma. It was messy but super tasty! But one star off for the lousy takeaway packing. No styrofoam please!

On a recent trip to Montreal, I had a lot difficulty trying to find both Patati Patata and Pitarifique, both eateries that are located just on opposite sides of St-Laurant. I could never easily locate them whenever I got out of Mont Royal station. So thanks to a photography tour group on a Saturday, I was finally able to come across these two places and after unwinding in my hotel room, headed back here for an evening meal and my main focus was the poutine. Since both places are withing close proximity of each other, when the first choice had a short line-up at the door, I was able to come to the second place where I could see the inside between the shoulders of people who were eating there. I just got a Cheese Burger and Regular Poutine Combo that a choice of Root Beer as my drink. I'll say that the both the burger and poutine hit home, especially the poutine because the gravy on it stayed at a pretty almost hot temperature when I finishing up my burger. That really helped get my poutine fix on my last evening in the city. Thank you Pitarifique! Plus, the fact that it wasn't crowded inside also allowed me to get a good view of the inside while I was eating my meal. Plus, a film on(maybe it was The Godfather) so that added up with the entertainment factor. I'll definitely come back here if I'm ever back in Montreal.

Get lots of food for the $$ but the actual quality of the meat was not very good. It was over cooked, and now as tasty as I was hoping. It hit the spot, but don't think I would come here again.

Awesome gem in the area. Honestly I didn't think the food would be good but it exceeded my expectation tremendously. Presentation, looked a bit messy and difficult to eat, but the taste was great!! I'd Def reccomend and come back myself

First of all, you have to go just to see the neighborhood. Really cool and ethnic. Swatrzs is here, a great store la Vieille Europe-some great murals. Then bypass the tourist spots and go to this unassuming place. Poutines that are really well done, and great platters and sandwiches. Cheap delicious eats!

Came to this place for lunch one day, looking for something good, comforting, cheap and fast and I got it... I ordered the gyro wrap with just a drink and it was very filling! A couple of things that would have made my experience better... 1. I was asked if I wanted "everything" in my pita... It was my first time there so I didn't know what "everything" included... Listing the filling options for the customer would definitely show more attention to detail. 2. When I got there the place where all the empty plates are placed was overflowing. It definitely needed some tlc... 3. And lastly... this might sound funny but I don't like their exterior signage! lol... am I the only one who finds it hard to read in the daytime... red letters on wooden panels?! Simple white lettering with a black outline would have sufficed! Or not... I'm no expert, just visually challenged I guess. I don't mean for any of the above to come off as negative comments, I would definitely return to this place and if you're in the area you should check it out too.

Ye!!!! finally something new to talk about! It has been a while since I have discovered anything new worthy of reviewing, but now it is with pleasure that I shout out my new favorite steak sandwich place. The cost is 10 dollars for a large (which is easily 2 " foot longs"), and in our last order we tried the cheeseburger at 4$. So now we know it is cheap, but is it good? Well the hubby said his burger was good, but the reason for this review is the Philly Cheese steak sub, I am now addicted! The bread is warm and fresh, the meat is flavorful and juicy, the lettuce shredded perfectly, and a nice big piece of tomato....is your mouth watering yet, mine is..., not sure what the cheese was and it doesn't matter because it is melted into the goodness, and finally a perfect garlic mayo that just takes it to the next level. I will highly recommend them, I will be a regular customer, and I am thrilled to share and get the word out. FYI I have been not yet stepped foot inside as I have had these loveley morsels delivered by someone else, but I will be checking it out to see what other gems they have in store on the menu.

The best poutine sauce in Montreal and I tasted many ! It is tasty, warm and a little bit spicy. For the cheese, I dont know beacause I always order a "frites sauce"

Great Pitas. Great Subs. I order in from here regularly. The sandwiches are simply great. The fries leave something to be desired, though, so if you're looking for a poutine, you might consider somewhere else. Definitely worth a try: philly cheese steak, veggie sub, chicken pita, or gyro pita.

If you want cheap and easy food, this is the spot. They offer a ton of different items like Mediterranean cuisine, burgers and local favorites. I had to have the poutine and it was very good...a nice big portion of fries, rich gravy and tasty cheese. This spot is cheap and casual and perfect for good, no-frills food.

Pitarifique is fast efficient little restaurant with all your typical Montreal fast food options (pizza, poutine, pita, subs etc). Food is made right in front of you and served just the way you like it. I ordered the gyro and I enjoyed it. I'm really happy I found this little spot and look forward to trying new things.

The portions here are huge, so it's certainly great bang for your buck, and they even have beer on tap! I got the souvlaki plate, which was a little heavy, but tasty overall. Looking forward to trying the myriad other fast-food type options on the menu. Service is fast and efficient. Go here if you want to spend less than ten dollars, eat something in abundance which is a cut above normal fast food, and be served quickly.

The only reason I'm giving them 4 stars is because they forgot my extra sauce I ordered. But the souvlaki is great , chicken gyro better than Arahova! And the plate I had last night was delicious! The fries have spices on them so no fry goes uneaten , and the salad they give is aways nice not gross like other delivery. This place is not fancy but it is ALL around great spot for what it is ... Oh and not to expensive considering the prices of delivery these days.

I lived in Montréal for two years and this was by a wide margin my favorite place for poutine. The poutine toppings are cooked wonderfully and the portions are very generous - I'm a big guy and I'm unable to finish a large by myself. Go with a friend and split a large. You can even get beer! The TVs usually have some sort of soccer match, and they're open late night, which makes for some great people watching.

Way better and much cleaner than Patati! The only thing Patati conquers in my opinion are their French fries.

Ordered by uber eats.. took over 30 mins and the food was super cold. I feel like the salads were taken out of someone else's plate and put into ours... all the veggies were wrinkly. We ordered two wraps and they were both soggy and gross. I don't understand how this place has such good review. Definitely will not order from there again.

I love this place!! My roommates and I came here for a late night munch one night and it was so good that we had to go back for lunch later that week! All the pitas are delicious! The meat is tender and juicy and there are generous amounts of vegetables. And the saucessss oh goddddd. Good price too and great customer service. They also have TVs with a movie playing and I always find that so therapeutic when I'm sitting down to eat. Would eat here again and again!

Low key delicious. Chicken pita was well proportioned and spiced with a warm fresh pita bread.

There's nothing bad to say about Pitarifique. Their food is incredible, the prices are reasonable and the service is exceptional. BONUS: if you're craving a souvlaki platter or their Montreal-famous Philly Cheese Steak, but don't want to trek out to them, their delivery service is super speedy. I've been coming here since it opened, and don't see an end to this in sight.

Declining Quality. Misogynistic Service. I've been eating in and ordering from here sine it opened (see old review from 2011 below), and everything thing about this place has been on the steady decline for months now. Delivery is now only available from Foodora, with a $4.50 delivery fee (separate from tip). The subs have have gone from gargantuan to lacking enough ingredients to count as a full meal. The fries taste as thought he oil doesn't get changed for days on end. And the last time my GF went in to grab some take-out while I waited outside, she (1) had to listen to the staff degrade women and their intelligence while they cooked, (2) was forgotten about *after they took her order and she had paid for it, and (3) was then derided for inquiring about her order when the cooks went back to standing around complaining about women some more. ***** [OLD REVIEW FROM 2011] The biggest problem with Pitarifique is knowing what to order. If you like good, mom-and-pop greasy spoon, you'll probably like everything on the menu. The menu can be broken down into about four different things: burgers, subs, pitas, and greek-style plates. The burgers are all around solid, whether you get a single, a double, or either with bacon or cheese. Their subs are everything a greasy spoon sub should be: very generous but not so greasy that the bread turns to mush. The pitas are pretty much souvlaki inspired, coming in either grilled chicken or gyros, and served with a generous portion of tzatziki sauce, and wrapped in a thick, fresh greek-style pita. And the plates, well, I've never had one, but I figure that if everything else is a 4/5, then they can't be all that bad, either. The atmosphere is very greasy spoon, though, and space is very limited, so I'd recommend either getting it to do or calling for delivery.

Be ready for "ginormous" portions! They load up the food here. Their poutine is delicious too. We tried the Greek salad, pizza poutine, philly steak poutine, and a gyro plate. We shared this among the 7 of us and we could have fed 5 more people! The main guy at the counter was cool too. He gave us some tips on being in Montreal. I also loved that they served draft beer here too.

AWESOME is all I have to say. The souvlaki is just amazing and the tzatziki sauce is creamy. I loved it all! Portion sizes are massive for what you pay. Definitely it a diner/hole in the whole that I'd visit often if I lived in Montreal. :) The guys working there are great, very friendly.

As tourist in Montreal this week, we have been trying to find the local hot spots. Yelp brought us to Pitarifique. This place is great! Great prices, delicious food and quick. Even got to try poutines for the first time.

Pitarifique Magnifique! I went to this place 3 times in 4 days (yes too much red meat to go with too much alcohol), and it was worth it each time. I was completely blown away that Montreal had this corner shop that was never packed, but should have been. I can only comment on the burgers as that is all I had. The burgers are absolutely delicious, and whether you get 1 or 2 patties, add bacon and/or cheese...the quality doesn't change. I got the bacon cheeseburger, a double bacon cheeseburger, and a hamburger (not all at once!). Granted, the double was wayyyyyyy too much food for me, I was able to save it for later. They are big patties and the buns are fantastic and, while it's kind of greasy, it's not enough to make it soggy like you'd get at 5 guys or something. The fries are crispy and delicious, and you can turn it into poutine, which isn't that bad either. They have either tap soda or you can pay $1.35 extra and get a Stewarts glass bottle soda - the obvious choice. The atmosphere is more take-outish than eat-inish, but there are a few tables and stools where you can eat and enjoy watching people walk by. You can watch them make all your food, the gyro meat is cut off the spit like you're in an authentic greek shop, and if you get the item you want "all dressed," it comes with lettuce, tomato, onions, hot peppers, pickles, and ketchup with their special sauce. By the way, the special sauce is spectacular! I got a bacon cheeseburger trio (fries + drink - I substituted Stewarts +$1.35) for about $8.50. You can't beat the price for the quality in Montreal, let alone anywhere else. If you're in the Montreal area and are going down St. Laurent toward Mont Royal, it's on the corner of Rue Rachel and St. Laurent across from Patati Patata. You can't miss it, and you absolutely should not miss it!

I'm not a fan of their Poutine but I'm a big fan of their Pitas and Burgers. Good price for food in the plateau, staff are friendly and you can take your food across the street and eat in the park!

Been going here for a number of years, and the quality has fallen off a bit. The food is still tasty but not what it once was. Environment is nice and there's usually a place to sit and enjoy your meal. My only other gripe is that it's kind of expensive for what you get. It seems the portion sizes have shrunk a bit too; or maybe I'm getting larger. Bottom line, good fast food place and well worth a visit.

Excellent burgers, fries, slouvaki, and philly cheesesteak subs. Owned by Greek family who knows how to serve good food fast. Great poutine and draft beer. Fresh ingredients and a good value for your dollar. Corner of Rachel and St. Laurent.

Gyro is very good as well as the soulvaki Price is very good, very inexpensive.

Was only there for a gyro and poutine, but thought it was delicious and inexpensive as well.

Good place to go to if the line in Patati-Patata across the street is too long. This place features a larger menu selection but non of the cool ambiance. Not a bad place though for a quick bite when you are hungry!

Average regular street food OK overall if u r really hungry and have no other options. Friendly staff

Full disclosure: I've only gotten delivery from them (many times, in fact), but in terms of the food I can vouch for the fact that it's solid with dirt-cheap prices (especially their specials), so the value is great. Their delivery is pretty fast, as well.

By far my favourite "fast food" place. Their pitas are great. They don't skimp on anything, I've had most things on their menu. My personal favourites are the double bacon cheeseburger and the chicken Slovaki. The only slightly disappointment are the fries (which are only ok) and the 14" subs (which are only two 7" subs) which are pretty minor given that the food is delicious. If you are looking for quick meal and a great bang for the buck, eat here!!

THE DELIVERY GUY IS THE WORST. No matter what you tip he will ask for more, so start with nothing on your order and tip whatever is actually fair at the door, or less since he provides the worst service. Food is amazing, chicken Greek salad is the best. Would have gotten 5* for food/value otherwise. Time for a new delivery guy (the mid-30s one needs to go).

pitarifique has delicious food! love their burgers & their fries are soo good. much better than patati patata imo!
