Frequently Asked Questions
What is La Poutine Week?
The most popular poutine festival, celebrating the best poutines in the World!
La Poutine Week is an interactive food festival. Restaurants across the World are carefully selected to create a unique poutine for the event. Participants engage with the festival by eating original poutines, sharing their experiences on social media, and voting using the La Poutine Week website. Restaurants can benefit from the festival, making record sales throughout the La Poutine Week festival, and some even running out of food in the historically quieter winter months.
No poutine? No problem.
Just because there are no poutines on your menu, doesn’t mean you cannot add one!
With subcategories like ‘The Most Original Poutine’, ‘People’s Choice’ and ‘Judges’ Choice’, La Poutine Week is a great opportunity to create something extra delicious, exciting and new. Vegetarian, vegan, - even dessert poutines- the possibilities are endless. Exercise your culinary creativity and let your city be the judge!
