The Junction

The Hole In The Wall

Open til 2 a.m. and equipped with a saintly ambience (a-la stained glass windows above the bar), The Hole In The Wall is a Junction mainstay of the most divine eats. Try one of their melt-in-your-mouth Reuben sandwiches after a night out and trust us, you’ll believe in angels.

Chinatown

Swatow Restaurant

This modestly decorated joint has been saving us from late night hunger cravings for years. Because who doesn’t love some pork dumplings and chicken fried rice after a beer binge in Kensington Market? We definitely do. Open till 2 a.m. or later.

Spanish-inspired cuisine that’s plated beautifully and paired along some fine wines? Count us in! Open til 2 a.m., this spot in Little Italy serves sobrasada and foie gras, whole octopus, and so much more. A great spot to end a romantic date.

Liberty Village

Smoke’s Poutinerie

No Canadian best late night food list would be complete without a little (you-guessed-it) poutine! Smoke’s in Liberty Village is your best bet for a little post-boozing bliss. Open until 4 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
