Start practicing your slurp. A ramen festival will take place across Montreal this fall. From October 11 to 16, Ramen Ramen will see participating restaurants serve up their best noodle and broth concoctions for Montrealers to try.

Customers can then vote for their favourite on the festival's Facebook page. The restaurant with the most votes will win the People's Choice Award. A jury of people who actually know what they're talking about will vote for their favourite too.

Organizers are currently inviting local ramen purveyors — from restaurants to pop-up shops — to sign up. Ramen Ramen will produce printed and digital maps of participating spots after registration closes.

The event comes from the same people behind YATAI MTL – Japan Week, the concurrent celebrations of local Japanese culture and businesses that include a street food and craft market in the Mile End. This year, YATAI MTL and Japan Week attracted over 20,000 people.
