Montreal | Solo Dining Guide 🍚 – Where to Eat Alone in Downtown?

One perk of studying in downtown Montreal? You’ll never run out of rice bowls after class! Here’s a list of affordable, filling, and delicious single-serving meals in the area. 🍛 Curry Chicken Rice 📍 Le Taj (Eaton Centre Time Out Market) Butter Chicken: Decent but not mind-blowing—I prefer it creamier. Rating: 😋😋😋 (3/5) 🥩 Hong-Style Braised Beef Rice 📍 Wok Cafe (1845 Saint-Catherine St W) Huge portions, but the beef can be a bit tough. Pro tip: Add chili oil for extra flavor! 🌶️ Rating: 😋😋 (2.5/5) 🌯 Middle Eastern Chicken & Beef Rice 📍 Shawarmaz (1340 Saint-Catherine St W) Combo bowl (small) + tahini & curry coco sauce = addictive! Also try: Their shawarma wrap with fries—so good! Rating: 😋😋😋😋 (4/5) 🍋 Lemon Grilled Chicken Rice 📍 Poulet Rouge (1623 Saint-Catherine St W) Mexican-style fast food: Lemon chicken or BBQ chicken + avocado 🥑. Minor flaw: Sometimes the chicken is overcooked. Rating: 😋😋😋 (3/5) 🍖 Korean Fried Pork Cutlet Rice (Katsu) 📍 Katsuya (1665 Blvd. De Maisonneuve Ouest) Sweet & spicy sauce = MUST-TRY! Perfectly crispy pork. Warning: Huge portion—you’ll be stuffed but happy. Rating: 😋😋😋😋😋 (5/5) 🍅 Taiwanese Braised Beef Rice 📍 DonDonYa (1433A Bishop St) Homestyle, light, and comforting. Beef is tender (better than Wok Cafe’s). Rating: 😋😋😋😋 (4/5) #MTLSoloEats #StudentMeals #MontrealFoodie #RiceLover
