Montrealers love festivals. Full stop. And when it comes to poutine festivals in Montreal, we're in utter bliss. 

With all of the uncertainty in the world, one thing is for sure: La Poutine Week, presented by Saputo, is coming back this year. This time, as a delivery version.

The restaurant industry and the foodie community need good news, and La Poutine Week is one of them.

On February 1, the annual festival will kick off its ninth year, teaming up with SkipTheDishes to bring the festival right to your front door. It will run until February 7.

And while we might miss being among our fellow poutine lovers, we'll do anything to help our favourite spots for our favourite food. 

La Poutine Week knows that it's been a tough year for restaurants, and is offering participating restaurants 60% off registration. 

As always, the week-long event will also be a friendly competition, finding the best of the best when it comes to one of Quebec's best exports.

$1 from every sale will also go to Anorexia and Bulimia Québec (ANEB), a program dedicated to helping those living with eating disorders and their families.

Participating restaurants will be announced in the coming weeks. But for now, we just can't wait to get our poutine on!

La Poutine Week

When: February 1 – 7, 2021

Why You Need To Go: With so much uncertainty in the world right now, you can always count on delicious poutine to make you feel better.
