La Banquise is Montreal's round-the-clock poutine institution on Rue Rachel, slinging more than thirty gravy-soaked variations to a 24-hour crowd.
OrderLa Taquise poutine with guacamole, or the classic with extra cheese curds.
TipWeekend nights bring a long post-bar line; go on a weekday afternoon for a seat straight away.
Ma Poule Mouillee is the tiny Plateau counter grilling charcoal Portuguese chicken over Rue Rachel, its piri-piri birds and francesinha drawing daily lines.
OrderA half charcoal chicken with piri-piri and a poutine topped with chicken.
TipSeating is minimal and cash speeds things up; get it to go and eat in nearby Parc Lafontaine.
Romados is a Portuguese rotisserie and bakery on Rue Rachel in Montreal, drawing daily lines for its charcoal piri-piri chicken and custard tarts.
OrderA charcoal chicken with spicy sauce, plus a pastel de nata for dessert.
TipOrder the chicken and a couple of natas together; the queue at noon is worth beating early.
Chalet BBQ has roasted hardwood-charcoal chicken in NDG since 1944, an unchanged Montreal rotisserie whose quarter-chicken and gravy fries define the genre.
OrderA quarter chicken with fries and the house barbecue dipping sauce.
TipThe room looks frozen in the 1960s on purpose; dine in for the full retro rotisserie experience.
Nouilles de Lan Zhou hand-pulls its noodles to order in Montreal's Chinatown, the dough stretched at the window over bowls of cumin-spiced beef broth.
OrderHand-pulled beef noodle soup, watched being stretched at the counter.
TipAsk for your noodles thin or wide when you order; the beef soup is the one to get.
Tri Express is chef Tri Du's cramped, joyful sushi counter on Laurier Est in Montreal, a Plateau favourite for inventive maki eaten elbow to elbow.
OrderWhatever the chef sends out; the omakase-style specials beat the menu.
TipThe space is tiny and cash-friendly; go early or expect to wait for one of the few seats.
