At the crossroads of Sainte-Catherine Street and Saint-Laurent Boulevard, Le Central offers its own version of the food hall experience with a combo of Montreal’s gastronomic heritage and global flavours in a sprawling street-style spot. At 20,000-square-feet, it houses 25 kiosks, each offering its own story, from Laotian-inspired dishes at Thip Thip to the rich, comforting ramen of Miso Ya, and the signature Neapolitan pizzas at Heirloom, the variety is relatively unmatched.
More than just food, Le Central embodies the energy of the Quartier des Spectacles. Designed by Guillaume Sasseville with striking contributions from Lambert et Fils, the space marries vibrant chaos with thoughtful organization. Grab a quick bite near the entrance or lose track of time exploring the deeper corners with their communal benches and eye-catching decor.
No reservations. Just show up hungry.
