If there's one thing Montreal could always use a little bit more of…it's Korean fried chicken. Luckily, a renowned Korean fried chicken chain in South Korea, Chicken Plus + is expanding across Quebec after finding huge success in the Canadian market with eight locations across Ontario. Chicken Plus + first opened in Seoul back in 2016 and the Korean fried chicken restaurant now has over 500 restaurants, including spots in both Vietnam and Malaysia.
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. Sure, Montreal is known for its rotisserie chicken, and our chicken wing game is strong, too. There were classic Montreal fried chicken spots before now, but lately, they're proliferating: we've got new restaurants opening up everywhere from Laval to the West Island and places in between.
Fried chicken is great, but there's only one thing better than a classic chicken sandwich…a free chicken sandwich. In celebration of Olivia's Authentic Chicken opening a brand new location in Montreal, you can get your hands on a free all-dressed chicken sandwich this weekend.
Montreal's South Shore just got a whole lot tastier with its first-ever Jack le Coq. The fried chicken joint is known for its 100% Quebec-based poultry menu. Folks in Brossard can now get their hands on it without having to cross the road, or in this case, the bridge.
The Montreal West Island has a new fried chicken joint. Madame Poulet has opened a restaurant in Pointe-Claire, its first on Montreal Island. Its two other locations are in Laval and Blainville on the North Shore.
