Renowned Quebec Chefs to Highlight the YUL EAT Festival

Renowned Quebec Chefs to Highlight the YUL EAT Festival

After last year’s successful event, the YUL EAT Festival is coming back to the Old Port of Montreal. Book off time this September 5-7 to enjoy the event which aims to highlight Quebec-grown produce, renowned chefs, and the many facets of local gastronomy.

The name is a clever play on words given that YUL is the IATA label for Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport.

Foodie Events

Throughout the festival, there will be morning events where local restaurants team up with one of three food trucks (Grumman ’78, La Sandwicherie Zoe’s, and Phoenix 1). The festival includes a brunch, exclusive dinners, a Sunday night family dinner event, and Monday night restaurant hop.

There will be around 50 pop-up restaurants waiting to feed your culinary curiosity. Moreover, La Buvette Matua will  have a terrace offering table service with an exclusive choice of select wines.
