You will find lots of locally owned eateries, casual dining options, and fast food restaurants in Montclare. While you might have to travel farther into the city for fine dining, you will find a nice variety of comfort food in the neighborhood.
While Montclare is largely residential, businesses and restaurants can be found along the main roads. This is a friendly community where you can get to know your neighbors or enjoy the calm outside of the city center.
There really isn't much nightlife in Montclare, so Friday nights in the neighborhood are fairly calm. If you do head out to eat or to a nearby bar, the waiting time is minimal, reservations are seldom required, and you might even run into someone you know.
