10 Gourmet Poutines To Try During La Poutine Week 2014 In Montreal

The second annual, La Poutine Week 2014 kicks things off this Saturday February 1st and ends a week later, Friday February 7th. This fun food contest challenges 30 restaurants per city (Montreal – Quebec City – Ottawa – Toronto) to make a special gourmet poutine just for La Poutine Week. The week long event combines a food festival with a cool food contest that allows foodies to taste and vote for their favourite poutines. We visited 10 restaurants in Montreal participating in La Poutine Week in order to give Montrealers a better idea of what to expect this week.

Online votes and a few celebrity tasters will help crown one of the city’s best poutines.
