Poutine Week 2020 starts on Saturday!

Poutine Week 2020 starts on Saturday!

From Saturday February 1 to Friday February 7, more than 250 restaurants throughout the province of Quebec are ready to offer you the best of poutine while Poutine Week is in full swing.

Put aside your New Year's resolutions and take the opportunity to stock up on poutines of all kinds. The eighth edition of this gourmet week will take place from coast to coast across the country.

Each restaurant will try to stand out by offering a signature poutine in order to collect as many votes as possible and be declared the overall winner.

You will therefore be able to vote, after your tasting, via the official Poutine Week website: https://www.lapoutineweek.com/. The organization also suggests sharing your favorites on social media. Don't forget to do it also via restoenligne.com!

Among the participants, note the Cage, the Shaker, the Normandin and the Baton Rouge among others.

Dear fans of our national dish, know that for each poutine sold during this special week, $ 1 will be donated to Anorexie and Boulimie Québec. Your appetite will never have served the community around you so well!

So it's a rendez-vous from tomorrow until next Friday.
