At Ahuntsic's La Bête à Pain, grab a wedge of deep-dish quiche, studded with lardons, to placate those hangover hunger pangs. And on weekends there's brunch. Marc-André Royal's Instagram previews (see photo) are always highly anticipated.

Kevin Tolton, cook at Garde Manger: "For me it's easy. As a resident of Saint-Henri it's Satay Brothers every time. Nothing cures a hangover like a 2:00 p.m. breakfast of Laksa soup (triple X of course), a couple steam buns and a pint! After that I'm ready to get back to work in top shape!"

Adam Aspelund, the chef at Saint-Henri's Ludger, loves the neighbourhood's iconic diner. "It's close to my place and with a grizzly hangover I need that two eggs with smoked meat and cretons."

Montreal lost Tony "Man of Grease" Koulakis earlier this year but, happily, his hallmark ways with the griddle live on in N.D.G.
