When you look around the city and observe what’s been happening in the food scene in the last few years, one thing that stands out is a huge boom of fried chicken in Montreal. Sure, Montreal is known for its rotisserie chicken, and our chicken wing game is strong, too. There were classic Montreal fried chicken spots before now, but lately, they're proliferating: we've got new restaurants opening up everywhere from Laval to the West Island and places in between.

Among all of those Montreal restaurants, however, it’s not just about eating pieces upon pieces of the best fried chicken. It’s about all the ways it can be prepared and twisted into all kinds of delicious and inventive dishes as well, from poutine and tacos to sandwiches and brunch.

For most people trying to stay health conscious, the quintessential "cheat" day is one day of the week that you let go of all inhibitions, and dive right into your favourite foods, irrespective of the calories involved.

That's where these restaurants come in. They've got tons of delicious, creamy, salty and sweet creations that veer as far from your diet as humanly possible. And guess what? That's ok - because what is a cheat day for if you can't go all out? Time to indulge, friends.
