What: The greatest thing to come out of Quebec (and let’s face it — Canada) is easily poutine and this annual festival celebrates all of its cheesy, sauce-y (in a French accent, of course), potato-ey goodness. This year’s festival marks its eleventh edition with restaurants all over the city boasting their creativity on this classic dish.
Where: Here’s a list of every participating restaurant.
When: February 1 to 14
Heiress

What: From the team behind Westmount’s new favourite spot, Guilt & Ivy, comes Heiress, a new dinner lounge with a Modern American menu that has a French bistro twist. The room itself is dripping in crystal chandeliers, black-and-white imagery, and bottles of champagne. At night the tables will turn into bottle service, with some of Montreal’s favourite DJs in an intimate setting until very late. Set to open in February, this one is definitely worth waiting for.
