Homer Simpson might just trade his beloved Springfield for Montreal, given the city's latest edible homage. A new NDG donut shop is drawing people in droves wanting to get their hands on the colourful, fluffy fried "d'oh" that's almost too cute to eat… almost. And then there's the limited edition empanada, bánh mì crossover no one knew they needed.
When the nightlife winds down and hunger hits, Montreal doesn't disappoint. Beyond the regular midnight-closing joints, this city thrives with spots serving up tastes until the early morning, and some even round the clock. We’re talking about just as many cheesy and greasy diners as there are refined spots to enjoy your meal with a glass of wine. Pizza and paninis, Japanese ramen, shawarma, fancy hot dogs, you name it there’s a surprisingly large number of great things to pick from late at night in Montreal, but these are the best of them.
There's nothing quite like smooshing a baguette between your fingers and feeling the crust crinkle. That's just one of the things a selection of judges did to determine which Montreal bakery makes the best long and narrow loaf of traditional French bread in the city.
