Pony BBQ Coréen
1608 Rue St-Catherine O, Montreal, H3H 2S7
Downtown's closest thing to a night out in Seoul, Pony leans hard into the neon-lit energy of Korea's barbecue culture. Tables crowd around sizzling grills while platters of marinated meats, bubbling stews and fluffy cheese soufflé eggs land in quick succession. The shareable combos make group dinners easy, but it's the lively atmosphere (maybe fuelled by the generous selection of soju, cocktails and beer?) that keeps the party going long after the grill cools.
Daldongnae Korean BBQ
Multiple locations
Part Korean barbecue joint, part time machine, Daldongnae recreates the feel of old-school Seoul with village-inspired décor and a menu rooted in tradition. The stars are the grill-ready classics (from bulgogi to pork belly and short ribs) but the kitchen doesn't stop there, turning out crisp chive pancakes and a strong lineup of banchan. Bonus points for offering thoughtful vegan options alongside all that meat.

Load up the grill with marinated meats, order another round of chicken, and settle in for the kind of meal that tends to stretch pleasantly into the evening.
Kalbi BBQ

Tucked into Chinatown, Kalbi BBQ offers a slightly more polished take on the all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue experience.
