YUL EAT

The YUL EAT Festival, a unique culinary event that highlights local gastronomical talent and brings together worldwide leaders of the restaurant industry for a weekend of tasting, learning, and discovery!

The YUL EAT festival launched, last year, with the goal of bringing together fans of the culinary arts and local cuisine. The festival’s name reinforces the desire to highlight Montreal as a gastronomical force by incorporating the Montreal International Airport – YUL, and marrying it with the abbreviated E.A.T.:

E stands for Experience
A stands for Appetite
T stands of Terroir
