When you’re up late — just getting out of a club, or simply practicing some good old revenge bedtime procrastination — and the cravings for poutine, smoked meat, or some other greasy goodness set in, there are key places you can rely on to satisfy that late night hunger.
These Montreal restaurants serve comfort food around the clock and, according to Google Maps, are the most popular after-hours joints in the city:
La Banquise
Where: 994, rue Rachel Est
Reason to try: This diner is open 24/7 and serves over two dozen kinds of poutine, from ‘La Elvis’ topped with ground beef, green peppers and mushrooms ($11.95) to ‘La Paul Pogo’ with pogo, onions and bacon ( $12.75). The portions are generous and you can pair the grub with your choice of local microbrew.

Dunn’s Famous
Where: 1249, rue Metcalfe
Reason to try: Take your pick of smoked meat dishes, pastrami, cheesecake, and most other kinds of comfort food you can imagine from this chain of Jewish delis that stay open late. The Dunn’s Famous burger is piled with an extra layer of smoked meat and you can swap out the fries for latkes or pick from three kinds of side poutine (if that gives you some idea of the extensive selection).

boss on call
Where: 3430, avenue Parc
Reason to try: Who cares if it’s frigid and snowing outside? You want a milkshake at 1 am on a Tuesday, Chef on Call will make you one… and you have a dozen flavors to pick from ($5). You can pair that with chicken tenders, a burger, or perhaps a sandwich, poutine, pasta or salad. The Milton Park location closes at 2 am during the week and 4 am on Friday and Saturday, but the restaurant is best known for its speedy take-out and delivery service.
