Some restaurants will always hold a special place in your heart - or should I say arteries. Mamma's is not an experience to be missed, whether you're a native of Montreal or just visiting. It is part of the reason why many students pack on the Freshman 20, Boreal beer not-withstanding. Located in the Latin quarter, Mamma's Pizzeria is open until 3 a.m. and you can get burgers, steak subs, eggs and bacon or poutine. When I was a student at McGill, if you got 2 orders of poutine for take-out you got a third for free, so we were always trying to rally a third person at Closing time to feast at Mamma's with us. This place has been around for over four decades now, and if any of my friends are heading out to Montreal I tell them to stop here. It's just part of the Montreal experience you don't want to miss. Montreal gave me a horrible addiction to poutine I'm afraid I'll never shake. Cheese, fries and gravy?! Who knew?!
