Boustan ★ 4.1

$ Middle EasternDowntown

Boustan has fed downtown Montreal since 1986, a late-night Rue Crescent counter with garlic-heavy shawarma and the fried-potato Aladin pita past midnight.

TryShawarma and pita

TipAsk for extra toum garlic sauce and pickled turnip; it stays open long past the bars for a good reason.

La Panthere Verte ★ 3.9

$ VeganMile End

La Panthere Verte fries crisp falafel and stuffs zesty vegan pitas in Mile End and across Montreal, a green-minded counter for a fast, meat-free lunch.

TryFalafel pita

TipThe falafel pita with green sauce is the order; it is fully vegan even when it does not taste it.

Nouilles de Lan Zhou ★ 4.2

$$ ChineseDowntown

Nouilles de Lan Zhou stretches its noodles by hand at the window in Montreal's Chinatown, dropping them into cumin-spiced Lanzhou-style beef broth to order.

TryHand-pulled noodles

TipWatch the dough being pulled at the counter and order the beef soup; specify thin or wide noodles.

Qing Hua Dumpling ★ 4.1

$$ ChineseDowntown

Qing Hua folds its soup dumplings by hand in Montreal's Chinatown, sending out steamer baskets of pork-and-crab xiao long bao that burst with hot broth.

TrySoup dumplings

TipNibble a corner first to let the steam out; a dozen pork and crab is plenty for one hungry person.

Wilensky's Light Lunch ★ 4.2

$ DeliMile End

TryFried bologna special

TipIt comes with mustard and never cut; do not ask them to change it, that is the whole ritual.
