Montreal's Vegan Festival Will Have Tons Of Tastings & 100 Vendors This Weekend

If you think you've tasted all that Montreal has to offer, think again. The Palais des Congrès is stirring up the city's food scene with a fall festival that might have you reconsidering your dinner plans. Montreal's Vegan Festival (FVMtl) is a hotspot for those who've sworn off animal products or are just hungry for something different. Attendees will have a front-row seat to live cooking demos, the chance to sample inventive vegan dishes, and opportunities to mingle with top chefs in the industry.

One of the brightest stars on this year's marquee is famed chef Christian Ventura. While he might be known to many for his groundbreaking vegan sushi restaurant Sushi Momo, launched on Duluth Street in 2014, Ventura's culinary empire has expanded rapidly. With Bloom sushi, Bvrger, Nofish, and his executive chef role at Lov restaurants, he’s leading the charge in vegan gourmet experiences and challenging traditional perceptions of plant-based cuisine.
