Dining in Montréal is like eating in no other place in the world. The rituals linked to hospitality, creativity and conviviality that accompany meals are indeed unique. With Montréal’s exceptional approach to the
“pleasures of the table” in mind and fully understanding that the best way to a person’s heart is through their stomach, Tourisme Montréal has launched several initiatives to whet visitors’ appetites for Montréal as a gastronomic destination. These initiatives include a promotion campaign, the creation of a gastronomic committee and the organization of the inaugural edition of TASTE MTL, which will take place November 1 to 11, 2012. What’s more, Montréal will be featured in a 20-page gourmet insert in this month’s edition of National Geographic Traveler, along with a free application for iPad.
Since 2011, Tourisme Montréal has developed its strategic approach to position the city as a world-class gastronomic destination. The organization’s strategy particularly aims to prioritize gastronomy in its marketing campaigns. As such, one million dollars will be dedicated to this promising niche market this year, primarily for advertising and promotional efforts directed towards the Ontario and US markets.
“Considering how Montrealers turn every meal into an authentic ritual, it isn’t surprising that our city overflows with great restaurants! We want the entire world to know about our outstanding establishments and chefs because they represent an integral part of Montréal’s unique flavour,” underlines the Honourable Charles Lapointe, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tourisme Montréal.
Furthermore, Frommer’s guide ranked Montreal in its “10 Best Cities for Outdoor Dining” last year.

From November 1 to 11, 2012, Montréal will host its very own Restaurant Week. Following other large North American cities such as New York, San Francisco and Vancouver, the city will invite Montrealers and visitors to discover the variety and richness of its restaurants. In the spirit of a true culinary celebration, our greatest chefs will offer their best creations at a reduced price.
Several restaurants have already confirmed that they will participate in the event, including Bar Tazaflores, Birks Café par Europea, Brasserie T!, Chez Delmo, Chez l’Épicier, Chez Victoire, Ferreira Café, Toqué! and Van Horne, Cuisine du marché.
