Late Night Montreal Food

Best 3AM Food Options in Montreal

After a night on the town, you’ll find the party still happening with arguably the best Montreal poutine at La Banquise or over the famous “Creation” at Boustan (which is now a chain, but the original is on Crescent street and open till 4am).

Other Montreal Food Options

New Orleans style

Or you might hear about the amazing New Orleans style cuisine at La Louisiane

Japanese style

Try the many Japanese style izakayas like Kinka or Imadake.

When in doubt, trust customer reviews over tour guides. Check TripAdvisor, Restomontreal, Yelp, Google and Facebook reviews. Look for places with many recent reviews. If a place only has 3 reviews, those probably come from friends or even staff. And if the reviews are all from 2010, well, a lot can change in 8 years.

If you have a place in mind that is not on the list, please leave a comment below and we will be happy to consider in future articles.
