When you're up late just getting out of a club, or simply practicing some good old revenge bedtime procrastination and the craving for poutine, smoked meat, shwarma, or some other greasy goodness sets in, there are Montreal restaurants you can rely on to satisfy that late-night hunger.
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.
Montrealers don’t mess around when it comes to a good brekky and brunch spot in the city. While Montreal is full of trendy brunch spots and Instagrammable eateries, there are a few hidden gems that some locals might wish they kept on the down low.
Among Montreal's favourite meals is the humble poutine, a comfort food with no equal that I've ever encountered. Perfect when you're intoxicated and delicious when you're sober, poutine brings warm, cheesy goodness to any occasion. But if you're new in town (or just live under a rock for cheap rent), it can be daunting to face the sheer number of poutine options at your fingertips these days.
At the world's end, when nothing remains but dust and rubble, when the land lies grey and fallow and the birds don't dare to sing, what will become of Quebec's legacy? What will we remember of the province that once stood so tall? Poutine, duh.
