Late-Night Eateries in Montreal

Late-Night Bites

Most Montréal restaurants serve until 10 or 11pm, but sometimes you need a meal or just a snack a little later. Besides the fact that Chinatown never seems to close, here are some other places to keep in mind:

  • Boustan: In the middle of the late-night hubbub on downtown's rue Crescent, Boustan has lines out the door at 2am of night owls craving a falafel or shawarma sandwich. Open until 4am daily.
  • Chez Schwartz: Also in the Plateau, Schwartz's meets the city's smoked-meat needs until 12:30am Sunday to Thursday, 1:30am Friday, and 2:30am Saturday.
  • Globe: An erotically charged restaurant at boulevard St-Laurent near rue Sherbrooke that changes personality after about 10pm to something more akin to a nightclub. Thursday through Saturday, the regular menu is available until midnight, and a smaller menu kicks in from midnight until 2am.
  • La Banquise: Not only is Banquise known citywide for its poutine, but it's open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week -- that is, whenever the urge strikes to indulge in any of two dozen varieties of french fries with gravy and cheese curds. At the northwest corner of Parc La Fontaine.
  • L'Express: Classic Paris-style food in the heart of rue St-Denis, available until 3am nightly.
  • Leméac: On chichi avenue Laurier in Mile End, Leméac has a special C$24 appetizer-plus-main menu from 10pm to midnight daily.
  • Moishes: Likely the earliest late-night menu in the city, this Plateau institution known for its steaks and A+ service recently began offering C$25 prix fixe menu at 9pm -- when the second generation of Moishes devotees come back with their friends instead of their families or business colleagues. Do note closing time at 11pm.
