Pop-up Provisions
Montreal may have laws preventing us from enjoying street eats, but they can’t stop the pop-up restaurants that have been opening all over town.
The Atwater Market has become the most recent location to host fun foodie stalls, fresh for the summer. We were immediately drawn to the Satay Brothers, serving up South-East Asian specialties like savoury beef satays ($2.50) and delicious steaming pork buns (2 for $7). Just a couple of steps away, an extension of the Poissonerie du Marché Atwater sells ocean-fresh lobster rolls ($11), while Roule ma Poule proffers rotisserie chicken sandwiches with potatoes and salad ($9.95).
Just bring a boy and a blanket and you’ll have everything you need for a picnic by the canal. —JN
