Where to Get a Fabulous Takeout Brunch in Montreal
"Self-described “nosh bar,” Arthurs grounds its food in all things Jewish, and its breakfast and brunch dishes have roots in Sephardic, Ashkenazi, and Mizrahi traditions — from a latke smorgasbord to Moroccan toast with eggplant, chickpeas and tahini. A couple of brunch options are available on weekends only, but breakfast and sandwiches are available Wednesday to Friday, all for takeout. Add a sprinkle cookie for the perfect finish."

The team behind the next-generation Jewish nosh bar is also at the helm of pandemic breakout star and fried chicken purveyor Bucky Roosters."

Vegan Restaurants Montreal: My Favourite
"A staple on the Montreal vegan food scene in my times, Aux Vivres is still going strong, and has even expanded its dining room and opened a take away counter next door. In fact, it is more popular than ever – with great reasons. The food is incredible and will satisfy vegans and carnivores alike with offers such as bowls (the dragon bowl is a classic favourite!), sandwiches and salads and the famous weekend brunch."

"What is it: The menu at this bistro has barely changed in the decade and change it’s been open, but with good reason. Leméac is looked to for the most classic of experiences, and unflinchingly faces the crowd of trendsetters and younger blood around them. Its chefs Maxim Vadnais and Olivier Belzile deliver fine food in a setting that’s framed in swanky—not swaggering—surroundings of stone and wood."

"What is it: Named after the French-Canadian folktale about a bewitched canoe that could fly through the air, the Plateau’s Chasse-Galerie keeps it Québécois with its ingredient sourcing and jovial ways of handling a busy night. Big laughs and big flavour play heavily into every ounce of service and food packed into this 50-seater sub-basement spot.

The best diners in Montreal with amazing greasy eats
"This Plateau-based hideaway is open breakfast through dinner, but it’s best known by night owls, especially the last-call crowd at Bar Laurier across the street. Most skip straight to the heaping plates of poutines, of which there are more than 20 choices, including the green peas and chicken covered Galvaude and the decadent Cabane poutine that adds maple, beans, bacon, ham and sausage on top of the classic fixings. Don’t ignore the other half of the menu however, which provides a hearty roundup of traditional Quebecois fare from pâte chinois to meat tourtière."
