10 events not to be missed in Quebec

10 events not to be missed in Quebec

Food is more gathering than ever. The number of foodies is on the rise and the events around the food are exploding. Right now, we are celebrating food like never before in Quebec. Want to gather with other inveterate enthusiasts of the boustifaille? We take part in one or the other of these events held throughout the province. Long live the food!

1. Mac n Cheese Week
In early April, MacN Cheese Week is held in Montreal and Quebec City. The comforting dish of our childhood passes into the hands of the chefs of many restaurants that remold it a beauty. We taste the macaroni in the various participating restaurants during the week for a fixed maximum price.

2. Poutine Week
At the beginning of February, the conservators of the province fight to win the title of best poutine. For the occasion, they revisit the classic fries, cheese in grains, brown sauce for the pleasure of our taste buds. We drank from restaurant to restaurant to taste the creations.


3. Burger Week

At the beginning of September, several cities of the world go into burger mode. Thus, the restaurateurs of the same region are launching a competition to create the most original burger. This includes Montreal and Quebec City.

4. Grilled-cheese festival
In May, it's around the grilled cheese sandwich to be put forward. The restaurants in the province are invited to concoct tasty and audacious grilled-cheese in order to win one of the prizes voted by the public.


5. Cinco de mayo
Le Cinco de Mayo is a festive event featuring Mexican cuisine in a dozen restaurants in the Greater Quebec City region, featuring Mexican dishes for $ 5. Tacos, nachos, Quesadillas, guacamole and tequila are at the forefront of this great Mexican celebration.

Bacon Fest fans will be more than served in Quebec Bacon Fest held in the capital in early June. Several restaurateurs hold a kiosk in order to taste the bacon in different ways to the festival-goers.

7. Pizza Month
To celebrate the period of terraces and removals in a very special way, we take part in Pizza Month which lived its first edition from June 8 to July 6, 2017 at KRTB (Kamouraska, Rivière-du-Loup, Témiscouata and Les Basques) in the Lower St. Lawrence. Some 50 restaurants participated in the competition, offering original pizzas at a maximum of $ 5 per tip.


8. Trois-Rivières at Table
In March, Trois-Rivières joins the concept already existing in several cities of the world in the framework of Trois-Rivières at Table. For ten days, gastronomic 3-course tables of hosts bringing local producers in the foreground are offered at fixed costs in about fifteen restaurants in the city.
