    Great fun place to go. Multiple restaurants. We got chicken vermicelli, onigiri, oysters, ramen and churros and they were all incredible.

    Salmon and tuna poke over quinoa.

    I always thought this was a bar or night club given the darkened glass. I went in for tacos but found poke! Surprisingly tasty and very healthy and satisfying if you get the large.

    My friends and I were sightseeing and came to this spot to check it out. I'm still full my breakfast so I didn't eat much. But this place has over 20+ places to choose from. My friends decide to order a few items from Le Super Qualite, an Indian crusine place. My friends said the food was really good so I ended up ordering the wada pav myself. I agree, it was B-O-M-B! It has a ball of potato fritter with tamarin and other sauces. I love the umami flavor plus the crispy crunchy pieces around. I definitely wanted to try more things next time~

    While visiting Montreal we look for places to eat different things under one roof. We (4) enjoyed food from different places and we all enjoyed. The service was great and the ambiance was very pleasant. Exceptional food options. I highly recommend it while in Montreal. Really close to other attraction, subway stops, shopping and Chinatown.

    So many food stalls to choose from inside Le Central. I saw Asian fusion, Mediterranean, Italian, Hawaiian and Vietnamese just to name a few. I especially liked the made to order churro stall with chocolate dip and nougat, yum! I'm pretty sure there are over 20 food stalls in total so definitely something for everyone. The vibe inside is minimalistic, clean and trendy with lots of good seating. A perfect spot for a bite if you are indecisive. Something will definitely catch your eye as you walk around. It was a tough decision, but Kame caught my eye for a late afternoon lunch. I ordered two small poke bowls which were quite substantial in size. Also a shrimp tempura snack which was very decent in size as well. The bowls had a good variety of shredded pickled carrot and mixed greens with seaweed salad and rice and poke salmon tossed in a vinaigrette and siracha mayo wow! The wait time was rather quick after placing my order. The only downside is that you have to order menu items as they are as they do not allow for customization. But no matter,as it was all delish and definitely a lighter healthy option. A fun place to grab an anytime bite!

    Reminds me a bit of Time out market but without being attached to a mall. I like the area and a food court makes a lot of sense since there is always something to do around Place des arts and it adds a lot more options than just the complexe desjardins mall food court. They have a nice mix of options and price ranges are $15-$30 depending on what you order and from where. It can get very packed here on nights with shows or other events so it will become hard to navigate around and finding a seat for a big group will be a hassle. I find the layout of the merchants a bit strange because there are some that are hidden in the far back and there's no one way to do a tour of all the options properly because there can be a lot of people and there are many entrances which just means more people and lots of noise. They don't have a buzzer system either so you kinda have to wait for your food at the counter or sit and walk back to the place you ordered with your receipt within the time frame they told you. I've tried a handful of the stalls here and nothing has really wowed me so far except Le petit vibe (but they are sadly closed now) and trou de beigne (excellent doughnuts!!). I've also tried Ramen Misoya (a bit too salty and uninteresting broth in my opinion), the mac and cheese bacon poutine from Le gras dur (good but small portion for the price and the mac and cheese nuggets were just frozen ones). I will say despite how this review might seem, I do enjoy coming here. When it's quiet, it's a nice place to sit with a friend and catch up! There's something guaranteed for every craving and the space itself is nice and inviting. Plus you can walk around Place des arts after and check out the light installations in the winter and the street decorations in the summer (or a festival!)

    We really weren't looking for a meal or even a snack, we were there just to take a look at one of the three food halls in downtown Montreal, Le Centrale. Le Cathcart and Timeout Market are the other ones. We had just spent some time enjoying the warm weather and sights within the Quartier des Spectacles and this place beckoned. Churros offers fresh-from-the-fryer churros. The long treats with serrated ridges, a bit denser than a cruller, are coated in sugar and had a nice crunch. They were served with a choice of dipping sauces. I had one of each: dark chocolate, salted caramel, dulce de lèche, and Nutella. The dark chocolate was intense and flavorful and the salted caramel highlighted the contrasting sweet and salty flavors; they were my favorites. Service was kind and professional.

    Something for everyone because it is an upscale food court with many cultural cuisines available, plus bars too. The communal tables are great for meeting friends, and the variety makes for good people watching too. When using maps to find a restaurant by name, it is super hard to find because they are not listed outside. If you are looking for local (French) food, there are crepes and poutine. I went for crepes, and unfortunately Milo was out of savory batter. So thus the deduction in a star.

    It has variety of foods, drinks, snakes, desserts, coffee and pastries. I stop for a little afternoon pick me up- it was near my hotel( literally across the street). I meant to come back to try some of the foods, but unfortunately they were closed on Sunday, Monday, and open at 11 on Tuesday ( my flight was 12) so didn't get to try it.

    Kamé snack bar!

    This is a cool spot in Montreal! A market style eatery where you can order many dishes from different vendors and sit down in a central area. Perfect if you have a group of friends with different preferences for food. I tried the poke bowl from Kame, churros, and also a coffee. I would have also liked to try a pasta dish (there were a few vendors), but you can only eat so much. Good prices and friendly service. And also lots of seating with social distancing measures in place. They also require vaccination proof. Will definitely stop by again in the future!

    Tuna Poke Bowl from KAMÉ
    Aimee H.

    I get that you're paying for the market-like vibe but the quantity of food is unreasonable for the price at Kamé. For the same price in a good quality sushi restaurant I got a bowl with twice the amount of food. To top it off, it turns out that 3 slivers of mango costs an extra $0.50 *raging inside*. The Centrale menu prices don't match the website menu prices--it's between $2-$4 more. Taste and quality were reasonable although my small HANAUMA BAY had at the bottom of the bowl a pool of oil. Possibly from the salad base. I also took the small Waikiki, which is snack sized bowl and the total with taxes came out to $32.19 for 2. I find this overhyped.

It's a beautiful restaurant, they cover a wide area within the hotel, including a lounge area, a more cocktail bar area, and a full restaurant set up. The beauty? They cover anything you might want. The downside? They're busy and usually severely behind schedule. I've been with great, consistent staff and I've been and left after 20 minutes of no check in. It can be hit or miss, but when it hits? It hits. They also provide the food that you order up to your room, which is probably my favorite part. Hotels rarely offer the same great menu to your room and so I always know when I've had a long workday that I can just get the same great dinner and lounge in bed after and avoid people. They also are great at getting breakfast to your door early, which makes trips to Montreal so much easier, especially if you're going for work. They always have a great selection of drinks, full bar so they offer everything, and the bartenders has been the same for at least a couple years. They're really nice. They do a good job. Ask for the food, it is always good, and the part I love is that they're very good about allergies when you mention it to them. They offer gluten-free bread and they change out ingredients. I've never had a bad meal or snack. So even when sometimes the weight is too long I know I'll be back another day and I'll have something great.

There is a bar in front with lounge style seating. It was eclectic and the music had a French twist. I ate lamb the first night and steak the night after. Both delicious but I liked the lamb better and the nioch was a nice touch. The thinly sliced fries with the steak was difficult to eat. The octopus was amazing and soft. Overall great and attentive staff and good food.
