Festival YUL EAT, presented by evenko, is proud to announce the return of the YUL EAT Gardens during three of the most popular festivals of the summer!
Like last year, festival-goers attending Osheaga, ’77 Montreal and Heavy Montreal, all taking place at Parc Jean-Drapeau soon, will have access to high-quality food in the YUL EAT Gardens zone.
Music lovers will once again get to enjoy signature dishes from 5 iconic Montreal restaurants. Each kiosk will be furnished like a small restaurant with a large terrace, where festival-goers can take a lunch break and grab a bite with some friends, while comfortably seated.
It’s already been three years since this Amherst Street establishment introduced its delicious updated Haitian cuisine, which is cooked with care and imagination by chef Paul Toussaint. Their acras, cod chiktay, griot, and whole fried fish quickly made their reputation, as did their rum koktels! On the menu: griot, grilled chicken, seafood skewers, ribs & more!
