MTLàTABLE returns to Montreal for its 13th edition from October 30 to November 16, 2025, once again offering food lovers the chance to explore the city's diverse culinary scene. With over 150 participating restaurants, this festival invites you to enjoy three- or four-course fixed-price menus ranging from $35 to $80.

MTLàTABLE is also all about weekend brunches offered at select restaurants for just $25. A delicious dish paired with a special drink will help you start your day the best way possible.
Created specifically for this year's edition are the Air Canada signature experiences, fine dining tasting menus offered by five restaurants that were finalists in Air Canada's Best New Restaurants 2023 & 2025 (two are also recommended by the MICHELIN Guide!). These exclusive menus feature Québec ingredients, creativity and originality and may offer surprise dishes, rare products, immersive details and opportunities to meet the chefs.
In 2025, MTLàTABLE celebrates not only great food but also the use of local ingredients. We've gathered our top picks by price category to guide your choices, but the festival offers countless other options worth exploring based on your preferences.
