In downtown Montreal, sunset doesn\u2019t simply signal the end of the day. From February 17 to March 19<\/strong>, Ramadan transforms these moments into daily gatherings rooted in reflection and connection. Doors open, tables draw closer, conversations come alive. Each evening, iftar brings people together around a shared sense of community.<\/p>\n

Across downtown, several restaurants are marking the occasion with special Ramadan menus<\/strong>. Whether you\u2019re dining in or picking up something sweet to take home<\/strong>, there are plenty of ways to celebrate in your own way. Here\u2019s where to experience these warm, generous evenings in the heart of the city.<\/p>\n
