Montreal in June smells like grilled everything, and this stretch is a feast even by our standards. Night markets, downtown food fests, and canal-side parties are all firing up at once, so loosen the belt and bring cash (and an appetite). Here are the tastiest places to graze across the city and Greater Montreal over the next ten days, with towns and locations noted so you know exactly how far you are travelling.

🍜 Marche de Nuit Asiatique (Asian Night Market)

Where: 300 Ave. Sainte-Croix, Saint-Laurent (Montreal)
When: June 18 to 21.

Back for its 8th edition, the Asian Night Market turns a Saint-Laurent parking lot into a glowing open-air food court with more than 100 dishes on offer. Think Taiwanese popcorn chicken, soup dumplings, bubble tea, grilled skewers, and creative desserts, all under the theme of Asia just steps away. Admission and parking are both free, so you only spend on what you eat. Go hungry, go early, and pace yourself.

🛒 Montreal Summer Market and Food Festival

Where: Place des Festivals, downtown Montreal
When: June 19 to 21, 10 AM to 7 PM.

Right in the heart of the Quartier des Spectacles, this three-day open-air market mixes food trucks and global street eats with artisan makers, live music, and a proper summer-in-the-city buzz. It is an easy one to fold into a downtown day; browse the stalls, grab lunch from a truck, and people-watch with a cold drink. Central, free to wander, and very walkable from the metro.

🍷 Les Guinguettes on the Canal

Where: Parc de l’Ancienne-cour-de-triage, Lachine Canal (Sud-Ouest, Montreal)
When: June 24, then June 26 to 28.

This laid-back canal-side festival leans into the French guinguette tradition: open-air bars, casual bites, and live music by the water. It is a lovely spot to post up with a glass of something local as the evening cools down, with the canal path right there for a stroll between rounds. Great low-key option to kick off the Fete nationale long weekend.

🚚 Les Premiers Vendredis (First Fridays)

Where: Olympic Park Esplanade, 4545 Pierre-De Coubertin Ave, Hochelaga (Montreal)
When: Next edition July 3 and 4, 4 PM to 11 PM.

Canada’s biggest food truck gathering is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, and the July edition lands right at the start of the month with 40-plus trucks slinging tacos, paella, smash burgers, waffles, and more. It falls just past this week, but it books up the calendar fast, so mark it now. Bonus: the July round doubles as a World Cup Fan Fest with matches on the big screen, food, and live music. Admission is free.

🎉 Fete Nationale Feasts Across Greater Montreal

Where: Neighbourhoods across Montreal, Laval, and the South Shore
When: June 23 and 24.

Quebec’s national holiday is as much a food event as a music one. Boroughs and suburbs from Laval to Longueuil throw community BBQs, corn roasts, and block-party feasts alongside the free concerts, so wherever you are in Greater Montreal, there is almost certainly a grill going nearby. Check your town’s listings, bring a lawn chair, and eat like a local.

That is your eating itinerary for the week. From Saint-Laurent night markets to canal-side aperos, Greater Montreal is putting on a serious spread right now. Come hungry, share plates, and we will see you at the next roundup.
