We just had a n awful meal at Les 3 Brasseurs because it was one of the few places that we could actually find open near midnight on Ste Catherine. Are there some hidden gems? We have a car and we we are willing to drive for decent food late at night. Thu Jul 02 21:56:04 -0700 2009 13427 Ora 1 4826667 You could try "Chez Alexandre", web sites says the kitchen is open up to 2am. http://www.chezalexandre.com/ Fri Jul 03 03:40:36 -0700 2009 4826472 11828 Maximilien 2 4827069 We've eaten there during regular hours. Its OK, nothing great, barely good. Fri Jul 03 07:50:17 -0700 2009 4826667 13427 Ora 1 4826674 If you want real food, l'Express on St-Denis has a late kitchen. Otherwise your best late-nite street snack in downtown will be the one and only Boustan on Crescent just above de Maisonneuve. Fri Jul 03 03:55:46 -0700 2009 4826472 46454 buzz_sapien 2 4827074 Yes, we keep hearing of Boustan, something tells me we'll be there tonight. And we may try L'Express for Sat Brunch. Thanks. Fri Jul 03 07:51:55 -0700 2009 4826674 13427 Ora 3 4827182 L'Express does not serve brunch. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week. So depending on the time you go you will be offered either a breakfast or lunch menu.

(may want to call first to be sure of hours) Fri Jul 03 06:21:07 -0700 2009 4826472 66614 kpzoo 2 4827077 OK--keep those suggestions coming--thanks! Fri Jul 03 07:52:50 -0700 2009 4826863 13427 Ora 3 4827196 Also, once again, not fine dining, but Schwartz's is open til 12:30 on weekdays, and between 1:30 & 2:30 am on weekends, and you're certainly less likely to have to wait in line. A good time to get your smoked-meat fix: http://www.schwartzsdeli.com/index_eng.html Fri Jul 03 08:36:56 -0700 2009 4827077 66614 kpzoo
