Fast food and home catering Montreal

At any time of day or night, people come here to enjoy one of the 30 types of poutine on the menu. More than just fries, cheese and gravy, here creativity yields sometimes surprising results, like the Savoyarde with bacon, onions, Swiss cheese and sour cream. There's also a selection of sandwiches, club sandwiches, burgers and other small dishes to accompany a microbrewery beer. There's also a good choice of hearty breakfasts at ridiculously low prices. A must in the metropolis!

Known and recognized for the unique taste of its smoked meat, a pastrami specially prepared in the traditional way with a blend of spices and herbs, Schwartz's has been bringing the atmosphere of The Main to its customers since 1928, with its long line. The smoked meat is served in lean, semi-lean or not lean at all. Such an institution in Montreal that a musical comedy dedicated to its history was even created. For the record, Celine Dion and her late husband René Angélil are part of the conglomerate that bought the restaurant in 2012.

At the corner of Rachel and Saint-Laurent, this French fry shop is iconic in Montreal. Its low prices and comfort food are sure to please. Whether it's the lunch plates (understand breakfast) or the very good poutines, the Patati Patata stop is justified at any time of the day, and until late at night. The tofu, beef or fish burgers are perfect to fill up the little hunger pangs. Luxury no, but efficient yes!

This vegetarian and vegan (but not only) café has a reputation for delicious sandwiches. One example of a sandwich is the carrot lox with red onions, capers, dill and cream cheese or the cashew spread. Other dishes include vegetarian chili, comforting soups, hearty salads and delicious desserts (try the carrot cake or the cheesecake with wild blueberry coulis). The prices are very affordable considering the generous portions.

After Lisbon, Miami, New York, Boston and Chicago, it's Montreal's turn to host this gastronomic and cultural market. Over fifteen chefs, restaurateurs and mixologists have been hand-picked to occupy this immense gourmet space. There's also a cooking school, four bars (sodas, beers, cocktails, wines), a boutique and cultural and artistic spaces. On-site offerings include: Le Red Tiger( Vietnamesestreet-food ), Paul Toussaint (West Indian cuisine), Bossa (gourmet sandwiches)... Our mouths are watering!

It's like being in a loft: friendly atmosphere (small tables for two or large wooden tables to share), very high ceilings, light colors. The brunch served all week is a must. And there's plenty to choose from, including the more traditional "Canton", "Lac Brome" with duck confit, eggs Benedict with orange sauce, spinach and potatoes, and even the red fruit pancakes. At lunchtime, several à la carte dishes are also available. An ideal place to take a break during the day. Everything is simply delicious!

The best bagels are the ones from Montreal. Period. And it's impossible to meet a Canadian who will tell you otherwise. One of the best known in the city is Fairmount Bagel, a Mile End institution for over a century. Their bagels are perfect: not too dense crumb and crispy crust. Plain, sesame seed, poppy seed, multigrain, onion, blueberry, cinnamon raisin, cranberry, etc., the options are numerous and all delicious! Our choice: sesame seed bagel with smoked salmon mousse.

This family-run rotisserie has been feeding the neighborhood for over 50 years, and the daily lunchtime line-up in front of the door is proof of its continued success. Sandwiches are the main attraction: chicken breast or leg, pork or sausage, all cooked to a delicious, crispy skin. When it comes to sauces and crudités, the choice is yours. And for even more deliciousness, the trick is to ask for chicken juice in your sandwich. An address that goes straight to the point and does it well.

Cathcart Restaurants and Biergarten opened in early 2020 as part of the Esplanade Place Ville Marie revitalisation project. The 12 food counters (a real culinary world tour) and the 2 restaurants (a brasserie and a Japanese canteen) are set up around an elegant green and luminous square, under an imposing glass roof, where everyone can settle down with their glass or their plate (both are even better!). This new food fair is already a new place not to be missed for Happy Hours.

Located in the heart of the Quartier des spectacles, Le Central showcases Montreal's gastronomic scene. More than twenty gourmet counters feature cuisines as varied as the city's cultural melting pot: seafood from the Gaspé Peninsula, Spanish tapas, Portuguese chicken, Indian pav bhaji, Hawaiian poké, Breton galettes... and the list goes on! The West Shefford brasserie also runs a bar here, with a small terrace in summer. A gourmet stop well worth the detour!

The ideal stop-off for a lunch break around the market. Chef Judith is the sole proprietor of this small take-away counter, which can also accommodate a few people on site. An advocate of local, zero-waste and organic food, she selects only high-quality products. The result: cooked sandwiches (piri-piri chicken, lamb and dried fruit, shredded ham cooked on the bone...), naughty grilled cheeses , all with or without a salad or soup.

It's one of the favorite addresses in Chinatown. The perfect place to enjoy the famous noodle and beef soup, a classic from Lan Zhou, a city in north-central China. A delicious broth prepared with love and enriched with beef blood, daikon slices, thinly sliced beef cooked in the broth and an egg marinated in curry, that's what you'll find in your bowl. Of course, there are other options on the menu, but it is for this soup that the crowd abounds. De-liieux!

One of the three addresses of the Ferreira family business, which has imported Portuguese cuisine to Montreal from father to daughter. Café Vasco de Gama offers fast food tailored to the business clientele who frequent the place in the mornings and at lunchtime. The menu features mainly Portuguese-inspired sandwiches (fresh sardines, chicken and chouriço) or more classic sandwiches (smoked salmon bagel or vegetarian and goat's cheese sandwich), served with soup or salad. Breakfast is also served throughout the week. The setting is pleasant and the service friendly.

We're way too fond of this new kind of diner in the Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie neighborhood. The retro decor of this little gourmet space already makes us smile, but it's the comfort food menu that has us completely hooked. We've tried almost everything over the months, from the regular dishes to the current inspirations: chicken curry club sandwich, shrimp guédille (the most generous ever), fried chicken burger, poutine, meatloaf and the list goes on. Natural wines and craft beers top it all off.

Often credited as the best fried chicken sandwich in town. We had to check it out... So a soft bun, a fresh herb mayonnaise sauce, pickles, lettuce and a nice piece of chicken breast marinated in piri-piri, then in buttermilk before being fried. So the rumor was true, especially since the other sandwich recipes are just as good. With a growing success, those who were initially installed in a temporary residence in a record shop finally acquired in 2022 their own room.
