Al Taib

Al Taib is well-known with the student crowd because it’s 24/7, located right downtown, and is quite inexpensive.
Grab a slice of pizza (classic) or fresh baklava. It’s Arabic late-night food executed to perfection.

Hours:Â 24/7
Paulo et Suzanne

Paulo et Suzanne is a staple in Montreal. It’s been operating for more than 30 years, is open 24/7, and they dish out a mean order of fries and burgers.
The portions are also quite generous. So if that booze is taking you over, offset it with some traditional greasy grub.
Address:Â 5501 Boulevard Gouin Ouest
Hours: Friday – Sunday, 24/7; Monday – Thursday, 10 am – 3 am
Gibeau Orange Julep

This drive-in resto is an absolute fan favourite. Heck, even if you’ve been drinking, you can’t really miss a giant orange perched beside Decarie.
It’s open daily until 3 am, serves up a frothy orange julep, steamy hot dogs, and very tasty poutine — none of which have changed since the 1930s.
Address:Â 7700 Boulevard DĂ©carie
Hours: 8 am – 3 am
Fairmount Bagel

Bagels may not have the late-night pizzaz as a burger or fries but try drinking all night and saying no to a cream cheese sesame seed bagel at 4 am…

Hours: 24/7
Angela Pizzeria & Restaurant

If you’re having a night with your pals and last call veers its ugly head, but you want to keep the party going, give Angela’s some serious consideration.
It’s open late and has a huge dining room and menu along with a very friendly and accomodating late-night staff.
Grab some pasta, a burger, poutine, pizza, lasagna, or dozens of other goodies and keep the party going well into the night/morning.

Sure, Schwartz’s is a Montreal landmark, but their cross-street rivals do a pretty good job as well.
Plus, they’re open later.
If you’re craving smoked meat after a few pops, The Main is open late. Plus, pickles are great at soaking up alcohol…

Hours: 10 am – 12 am
L’Express

L’Express is a popular dining spot for locals at any hour. Maybe you’re not even toasty; you just finished a shift yourself?
Regardless, this Parisian-style French bistro is a classic on the Montreal food scene.
They’re usually open until 3 am on the daily, but COVID-19 restrictions had them alter their hours.
Maybe they’ll be back to their former late-night glory soon…

Café Milano

Don’t let the term “cafe” fool you. This iconic spot has been operating 24/7 for years, but the pandemic forced them to change their hours a bit. They’re currently working from 6 am to 1 am and seem primed to return to the 24/7 routine in the coming months.
Grab a coffee, some sandwiches, and a soup to help balance out that booze after a night out. You really can’t go wrong.
Address:Â 5188 Rue Jarry
Hours: 6 am – 1 am
Boustan Crescent

Boustan has a bunch of franchises all over Montreal, but the Crescent location — the flagship — is the place to go if you want late-night eats. It’s usually packed between 1 am and 3 am, and the Creation Sandwich is greasy enough to curb your impending hangover.
Nab an order of garlic potatoes, and you’ll be fine.
Address:Â 2020 Rue Crescent
Time:Â 12 pm – 3 am
