Attention poutine lovers of Vancouver, there is now a festival to honour the wonderful culinary delight. Francouver.ca is proud to present The Vancouver Poutine Festival on November 19, sponsored by “La Belle Patate”, Quebec Government and The Poutine Festival of Drummondville aka Poutine’s Motherland. The festival features an experimental poutine contest; open to all, family activities, a poutine crawl, open mic for teenagers, francophone concerts & more!
Like the food itself, the festival is meant to celebrate the warm and flavourful Quebecois culture. It’s an all-ages excuse to hang out with some good people, relive some fond memories and indulge in some of the best comfort food this side of the Gatineau. Grab a napkin and a friend and come see what all the fuss is about!

Damnit I was hoping there would be a bunch of different vendors and a list of what they're making. I'd love some Montreal fois gras poutine with the fries cooked in duck fat.

I realize there's tasting but I'm sure that'll run out pretty quick and one can only eat so much free $20 poutine.

wheres the best poutine in town anyways? sick of the costco/ny fries ones

^ Haven't been there in ages, but Belgian Fries on Commercial Drive was always good.

Belgian Fries is alright but I would still stick with Brado's as the best poutine.

Both are on Commercial Drive and are about 4 blocks apart from each other.

I have posted pics from Brado's in the Food and Fine dining section somewhere...

Just buy 2 Costco Poutines

poutine topped with montreal smoked meat and pickle bits = the best thing that ever happend to quebec.

YUmmmmm !!~~ but yeah.. 20 bucks is a bit too much.

Good news! we had heard that it was the 11th, which is babies due date. GF being from montreal she was sad to miss this, even for a baby.

see ya'll there!

and $20 is not too much for what you get
