Like a good Quebecer, you're probably craving crispy fries topped with hot gravy and squeaky cheese curds as you read this. Why not get your poutine fix at Montreal's Le Grand Poutinefest? It kicks off this weekend for the 2021 season.

Almost every weekend for the next couple of months, Le Grand Poutinefest will be in a different part of the Montreal area, starting with Place Vertu in Ville Saint-Laurent on May 1 and 2.

The menu includes jerk chicken poutine, General Tao poutine, fish & chips poutine and more.

Admission is free but a poutine will cost you between $9.99 and $16.53.
