Looking for some late night food in Toronto? The city's after-hours food scene has got you covered. With your classic 24-hour diners, late-night take out windows, snack bars or intimate restaurants serving until the wee hours of the morning -- there is something for everyone that extends beyond the typical fast-food scope. Just about every neighbourhood has a late night option, whether that's Greek, Spanish, Asian-fusion or your typical greasy spoon. Here are the places to-go and the dishes to eat when it's 11 pm late, or 4 am late.

Squash Poutine

Located on Ossington, this hard-to-find spot with no-sign, no-phone and no-website is a dimly-lit snack bar with Korean influences and boomboxes adorned on the walls. Their kitchen is open late, so be sure to swing by to try their Squash Poutine, Steamed Buns or their incredibly juicy O.S. Wings.
