The 23rd edition of the Montreal en Lumiere (MEL) Festival, which is presented in partnership with Scotiabank and takes place between February 17 and 27, 2022, recently unveiled its second component: the gourmet food program.
Many of Montreal’s finest restaurants and hotels will take an active part in this year’s festival, as they celebrate and savour the culinary of talents of Quebec’s best chefs under this year’s theme “Savouring Our Northern Heritage”, which will highlight Indigenous gastronomic dishes that are created with care by the province’s finest Indigenous chefs and culinary artists.
During a press conference that was held on December 7, organizers unveiled what participants will look forward to during the gourmet food program. Highlights include: the Air France Finest Tables, in which guests can gather to discover, share and exchange many tips and information relating to cooking and fine food. Here, chefs, winemakers and producers from around the world will be paired up to create a special menu that reflects the chefs’ respective personalities; “Couette & Gastronomie” packages return for another year, where participants can treat themselves to a special gourmet experience either in their hotel room or at the hotel’s restaurant. Twelve hotels are taking part in offering these packages, such as Double Tree by Hilton, Hotel Marriott Chateau Champlain, and Hotel 10; the Circuits Gourmands Tastet will give foodies a chance to experience a variety of Montreal restaurants in a more thematic approach, in which this year’s edition will take your taste buds to France, Italy, Japan and the Middle East; the Quartier Gourmand will once again please the palate of foodies and epicureans alike with a series of meetings, workshops, demonstrations and other activities that will be officially unveiled in February.
