Linking Northern and Central NJ, Bronx, Manhattan, Westchester and CT

Please note there is one kosher restaurant in downtown Montreal that is only open during the day and it is in the Chabad House on Peel Street. See information below. There are two Second Cup coffee establishments—one at 2200 McGill College Ave. and the other 1386 Green Avenue in Westmount—where they offer kosher sandwiches and Danish options. You must ask which are kosher. Note that all frozen drinks at Second Cup are kosher, as well as the syrups for coffees. Second Cup is the Canadian equivalent of Starbucks; they are everywhere. If in doubt, call the Vaad, the Jewish Community Council of Montreal. Acceptable kosher symbols are MK, COR and KSR.
