When you look around the city and observe what’s been happening in the food scene in the last few years, one thing that stands out is a huge boom of fried chicken in Montreal.

Kamlesh Mistry, 37, from Watford, first fell in love with the fast-food chain when he was 12 years old and has visited KFC stores in more than 50 countries, prompting the company to grant him super fan status.
Poutine is a Quebecois cultural staple and Montreal has plenty of good, great, regular and king-size versions of the classic dish. But if you want to go beyond the craveable fare of chain restaurants and explore the depths of poutine creativity, consider this your one-stop shop for fantastical creations, both savoury and sweet.
