Over the weekend, the participating restaurants were unveiled online, including:

  • Wayback Burgers;
  • Paul's Pizza and Steak House;
  • Amihan Grill and Bakeshop;
  • Big Smoke Burger;
  • Madison's 1212;

  • Paddy's Barbeque and Brewery;
  • Flavours of Poutine;
  • Southland Yard;
  • Blowers and Grafton;
  • Wok Box (two locations); and
  • Meltwhich Food Co. (two locations).

La Poutine Week 2023 runs from Feb. 1 to 14.

The top five poutines will be showcased in a live leaderboard on the festival's website.

The event began in Montreal back in 2012, but is now held nation-wide, with more than 500 restaurants participating across the country, including many in Alberta.
