Once you decide to visit Montreal, be prepared for the cold weather, and constant rush hour on the streets of Canada’s second largest city. One thing you do not have to worry about, at all, is food. No matter which cuisine you prefer, Montreal will certainly live up to your expectations in that field.  For instance, if you like Italian cuisine, at least 20 good restaurants will be at your disposal. If you prefer French food, even better – that is the local cuisine in Montreal, Quebec. American food, Lebanese, Spanish – Montreal offers everything.

When it comes to Asian cuisine, you will not be disappointed. We will tell you more about Chinese, Japanese and Indian cuisine, to be found in this great city, and you just have to read through and afterwards decide where you want to take a bite.

Let’s start with Chinese cuisine. In Montreal, you will find three types of Chinese restaurant: take-out, buffet and traditional restaurants. Take-out restaurants cater take-out orders, or deliver to your address. They are very cheap and work 24/7 usually. Buffets became very popular in the past decade. They serve more than 20 traditional Chinese dishes every day, and usually have the “all you can eat” offer. That means you come in, pay a few dollars and eat as much as you want from the buffet. The third kind, traditional, covers regular Chinese restaurants with the best tasty food, and huge variety of meals you can choose from, and are slightly more expensive then buffet and take-out restaurants.

If you are in Montreal and you crave sushi and sashimi, It’s the best place to look for. Montreal has several exquisite sushi bars, and restaurants with Japanese menus. Japanese cuisine became extremely popular in Canada during the 90’s and the biggest restaurants are located in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. There are two kinds of Japanese restaurant: take-out corner shops and sushi bars/restaurants. Apart from the raw fish Japanese cuisine is famous for, you can also try a variety of meals consisting of rice, beans, eggs, fruit, noodles, mushrooms, soy products, various vegetables, seafood, fish, mammals, shellfish, seaweed etc. Japanese cuisine is very healthy!

Finally, an Asian cuisine we strongly recommend in Montreal is hot & spicy – Indian. This is one of the most popular international cuisines around the world. Indian food is hot, spicy, and very tasty, including curry as the main ingredient. Montreal has a few exclusive Indian restaurants and also several smaller ones, where you can take-away your order and eat at home. Usually the chef and the whole staff are natives of India, therefore everything they make and serve is 100% authentic. Meals you shouldn’t miss are: butter chicken (world famous) originally known as Murgh Makhani, chicken tikka, ragada, Daal puri, poha and kofta. Everything is made of vegetables, meat, herbs and with lots of spices.

In Montreal, the only dilemma you might have is where to go, because everything you need can be found in this city. Carefully choose from a huge variety of cuisines and have fun exploring new tastes!
