15e epicurean festival in Old Montreal
The Gourmet Happening, which has just started, will do for a 15e happy times until next April 2. Its principle is simple: 11 tables in Old Montreal are offering three-course tables d’hôte and brunch options at attractive prices during this period, with a great diversity of offers. At the Bevo pizzeria, you can, for example, opt for a bianco pizza or gnocchi. At Vieux-Port Steakhouse, the special menu features a pork tomahawk and heart of filet mignon. And at the Kyo Japanese bar, we are invited to feast on dumplings or giant prawns. Also worth noting are the brunches at the Pincette lobster counter, which offers a poutine with gravity of bisque and poached egg and which are very recommendable.

Offer the best of Montreal
The city of Montreal has become a destination of choice for its good restaurants, but it also stands out for the creations of its producers and urban artisans. This is what the Montreal Office of Gastronomy wishes to communicate to leisure and business tourists through a gourmet box launched during Montréal en lumière and now available in a dozen hotel establishments in the metropolis as well as on the Quebec basket platform. The six products in this box range from the mushroom poutine sauce from 400 Pieds de champignon to a hazelnut and dark chocolate spread from Allo Simonne, and an anti-waste spread from Rescapés. A great gift idea.
