About Iftar in Montréal
Iftar is the evening meal that breaks the daily fast during Ramadan. It begins at sunset — the moment of the Maghrib prayer. In Montréal, today's Iftar starts at 8:46 PM (America/Toronto, UTC-04:00).
How fasts are broken: the prophetic tradition is to open the fast with dates and water before performing Maghrib prayer, then return to a fuller meal. Eating in moderation at Iftar prevents the energy crash that often follows large post-fast meals and helps maintain stable hydration through the night.
What is typically served at Iftar
Dates & water
The traditional opening — three dates and a glass of water. Dates restore blood sugar quickly without overwhelming the digestive system.
Soup & salad
Light, broth-based soups (lentil, harira in North Africa, çorba in Turkey) and fresh salads ease the stomach into the main meal.
Main course
Slow-cooked stews, grilled meats, rice or bread. The communal aspect — sharing with family, neighbours and the mosque — is central to Ramadan culture.
Health professionals recommend opening Iftar gently, drinking water steadily through the evening rather than all at once, and keeping the main meal balanced — protein, complex carbohydrates and vegetables — to sustain energy until the following day's Suhoor.
