You MUST get poutine while in Montreal - it has the best late night food to have after a night out. There are other places out there, but this one is literally around the corner from the apartment and is a staple in this neighbourhood. It gets packed at around 3 or 4 am and is open all night on the weekends. Always go for the classic. (They also have a decent cheap brunch, but no alcohol license)

This vegetarian restaurant makes the best veggie lasagne in the world. They always have great local beers on tap, and also make some damn good nachos & burritos. It tends to get very busy at lunchtime because it's right next to McGill University and is in the student ghetto (not because it's a real ghetto, but because this area is mostly inhabited by McGill students). All the tables have little drawers with diners can leave notes, drawings and messages. Check them out, there are some gems in these drawers ;)
