Benny Express

2159 rue Saint-Louis, Saint-Laurent, QC H4M 1P1

Chez Benny Express is a kosher restaurant with traditional Middle Eastern salads, as well as pita and laffa sandwiches. They offer kosher burgers and more Americanized sandwiches, as well as kosher Chinese food too. Their wonton soup is actually delicious! They have vegan options, and the best falafel sandwich that you’ve ever tried.

Décarie Hotdog

953, boul Décarie, Saint-Laurent, QC H4L 3M3

Décarie Hot Dogs is where you go for a steamie hot dog and poutine in Ville St-Laurent. This hole-in-the-wall late night spot, which opened in 1969, is known all over Montreal, and is a landmark on Décarie Street. Their diner-style breakfast and bacon cheeseburger are also delicious, but their steamie is the Montreal classic that everyone is talking about!

Elounda

1818, boul de la cote-Vertu, Saint-Laurent, QC H4L 2A6

With a large Greek community, Elounda brings Greek fine dining to Ville St-Laurent. They have the classics like fried calamari, Greek salad, octopus, fresh fish by the pound and lamb chops. But they also have stuffed calamari, grilled zucchini saganaki and crab cakes – all prepared with Mediterranean flair. Elounda is a Ville St-Laurent secret that you’ll want to discover!

Restaurant Kuljit India

1904 Boul Thimens, Saint-Laurent, QC H4R 2K2

Kuljit India is such a well kept Ville St-Laurent secret that even locals don’t know about it! This hole-in-the-wall BYOW Indian restaurant serves some of the best Indian food that we’ve ever had. Their samosas are incredible, and we love their butter chicken and lamb korma with plenty of naan bread on the side.

More from Montreal Food Divas Montreal Food Divas
The Food Divas have been frequenting Montreal restaurants onThursdays since 2011. Montreal is known for its French cuisine (and we love our tartare), so we tend to go to French restaurants. In some (most) circles, we are known for causing trouble, therefore, our Thursday nights are reserved for plotting, drinking (getting tipsy) and eating great food (gluttonous indulgence) with great company (an unholy alliance).
Eat your greens! Montreal’s best salads

Eat your greens! Montreal’s best salads

Opting to have a salad used to mean that you were on a diet, but not anymore! Today there are so many unique combinations and eating salad is now about satisfying a craving, not going on a diet. We love clean eating when it tastes good! [image creditl: iStockphoto]

Not your typical Thanksgiving fare

Let’s face it, we’re only happy about Thanksgiving because we get a day off from work! It’s not a big holiday like our neighbours to the south but that doesn’t mean we can’t go out and celebrate with a good meal and a fun experience. Here are some fun Montreal alternatives to the traditional turkey dinner. We’re thankful that we live in Montreal with all of these amazing restaurants!
