Montreal loves its mobile munchies. Our famous food trucks have quickly gained quite the following in Montreal, and for good reason! At lunchtime, leave the boring cafeteria behind and take a wander through the streets to find out why these kitchens on wheels have whipped up so much interest. Taste unique dishes, served fast in a street near you... or your office!
We’ll name a few items on the menu, and you tell us if you can guess the central theme of this street truck: the broken legs (duck wing confit), the ugly (braised duck sandwich), the cane-ton (wonton soup and duck confit dumplings)... got it yet? Enjoy all things duck at this popular food truck – you’ll be happy you found it!
Fun fact – a tuktuk is a popular motorized tricycle used as a taxi in Thailand. This larger, four-wheeled version decked out in Thai national colours delivers some of the best Thai street food in the city. Alongside traditional mango and papaya salads, this place makes a great plate of pad Thai.

L’Assommoir was one of the first trucks to roam the streets of the city, armed with food worthy of its restaurant. It’s kind of a miniature version of what you find in the restaurant: tartares, ceviches, grilled dishes and tapas are all on offer on the street corner! The three house poutines – veggie mushrooms, curry sausages and whiskey & maple – will be the envy of your colleague as they chew their Thursday baloney sandwich.
