Most take cards. I've tried many of them so far and haven't been disappointed. Seating is limited but since you're downtown, you will be able to find somewhere else pretty easily if it's full.

Located right in the centre of the Just For Laughs festival, Bouffons Montreal is the perfect place…read moreto grab a quick bite to eat from the food trucks and stands of several restaurants. I went Tuesday evening when it was raining on and off and a lot of the vendors were closed. Other than that there's plenty of choices, even for dessert! We stopped by the Mignon Churro Stand, I was really impressed that a lot of places took debit and credit, always a plus

Food: Really average ice cream, I think the fun part is really all the different toppings that you…read morecan add yo your ice cream. Here you find all your childhood favorite candies in addition to some unusual options as well. Play ahead, more than the taste it's rather a fun experience I would say Service: Staff are friendly and helps you to get the different toppings Value: Slightly overpriced, you are paying to get unlimited toppings (as much as your cup can hold, which is very limited due ice cream-cup size ratio) Ambiance: Located permanently as a stall in the old port at the end of McGill street on de la Commune. No seating, open counter, grab to go type. Get your ice cream and enjoy it somewhere nearby under the bright sun in the Old port.

Hot-dog stands are amazingly rare in Montreal. Which is why it's so great to have one that so…read morereliably shows up almost every day from late spring to fall at the "Y intersection" on McGill campus (on the path leading from the Roddick gates to the Arts Building). This humble hot-dog stand (that's apparently called the Hot-Dog Mobile) has been around for the last 2 years, although the business itself is much older. The menu is simple: jumbo hot-dog (all beef, 3.25$) or polish hot-dog (a little more expensive and takes 5 min to cook). The rounded buns are nicely toasted without being dry, and the service is courteous and fast. The condiment station is clean and well stocked, with many types of sauce (but no mayo), along with sauerkraut, freshly chopped onions, olives, etc. Really nice to have as a quick food option, especially in that part of downtown!

Roux is a food truck that serves up wraps, salad and poutine. The prices are in line with other…read morefood trucks. I was seriously craving something greasy so I went with the spare ribs poutine which turned out to be a smart choice. They put plenty of curds which is always something I like in a poutine. The fries themselves were well-seasoned and thick while the meat was very tender. They would have been quite good on their own too. My only complaint was that they garnished it with deep-fried onions that were cold. I think even if they had been hot they wouldn't have added much to the poutine as a whole.

From the owner: Like a long-awaited missing piece in a diverse jigsaw puzzle that is the local dining scene.

ROUX comes from the collaboration of the Mile-End famous restaurant FABERGÉ located at 25 Fairmount west and Chef Eric W. Rice. Our food philosophy is driven by simplicity and technique We'll shock you with our delicious fries served with a variety of tasty sauces. The pride of our truck is our fries but wait till you try our signature mouth-watering sandwiches, some of which will change monthly according to what is fresh and local . It's also very important for us that everybody no matter your food beliefs, can enjoy the ROUX experience. Which is why you'll always find vegan options and also why we only use vegetable oil for fries. Our goal is giving the mobile food service concept, a gourmet boost with quality ingredients and a la minute cooking at affordable prices.

On a five day trip to Montreal, we rode our bikes to Marche Jean-Talon. We were taking our time…read morepicking the perfect lunch when we found Joshua's booth. We sat down on a gorgeous sunny October weekday at a picnic table he had in the back, and had one of the best meals of our whole trip. Pumpkin-lemonade that wasn't too sweet, roasted brussel sprouts, a zippy spiral cut squash salad, a cauliflower soup with coconut milk, and flatbread with beef kabob. All the vegetables were chosen from the farmer's market and then balanced perfectly into dishes that were competitive with one another-all stand out dishes. Kudos to this wonderful lunch and the man behind it.

This is such a small stand at Marché Jean-Talon! My mission…read morewas to find myself some lunch for $7,25 and under. I thought it would be a breeze but Jean-Talon has gentrified pretty quickly and it's just totally dubious to taste every fruit sample in the shopping alleys. I pretty much dismissed every food vendor as too expensive, offering something I found too common or just not really being lunch (olive and cheese shops etc..). And after running around in circles for 30 minutes, right at the market's intersection, a sign popped up: "Duck confit sandwich: $5"! Mission accomplished!! Just what I wanted: a sandwich is quick and easy, but duck is more of a gourmet kinda thing and under 7 bucks! Don't expect something too fancy,the sandwich is served in a little styrofoam box if you want to take it home. This is just a stand so you have to find yourself somewhere to sit. The sandwich is about 6 to 7 inches, made with white baguette bread. I'm not a big fan of baguette but it was incredible for dealing with the duck fat dripping everywhere. Brilliant!

I attended Monkland village's yearly festival and immediately zoomed to this food truck due to from…read moreprevious reviews. Also I'm truly a sucker for pulled pork sandwiches. The price-tag was decent, only $6! So I grabbed one and got some lemonade to go with it.... and disappointed would be an understatement after my first bite. Sure it looked appealing with lots of meat but the taste/sauce was pretty plain to me. It lacked character and emotion... ultimately I felt forced to eat so mediocre and once I ended up halfway into the sandwich... look at that... no more meat... just lots of salad leafs though? I've had a lot of pulled pork in my life and this didn't hold its ground at all. And the lemonade? It was pretty watered down. This was shameful. I consequently helped myself to some homemade lemonade down the street at Ben & Jerry's... which was made completely in front of me. Delicious.... Perhaps a bad day but not a good experience. All in all, a solid 2.
