Quebec’s most anticipated culinary gala, Les Lauriers, returned this year with a refreshed format and renewed sense of community. Now in its 7th edition, the event held on May 26, 2025 brought together the province’s finest chefs, artisans, and food personalities to honour the innovation and resilience driving Quebec’s gastronomy.

Thanks to a new initiative co-developed with the City of Montreal, Les Lauriers also served as the launchpad for Mange-Tout, an upcoming gastronomy-focused event combining conferences and workshops at the SAT. While the date has yet to be announced, excitement is already brewing.

This year’s event was hosted by Normand Laprise of Toqué, a foundational figure in Quebec cuisine. In his opening remarks, he emphasized the importance of mutual recognition and support within the industry. By staying true to themselves and embracing the seasons and environment around them, Quebec’s culinary community has forged a distinct and evolving identity—one rooted in trust, creativity, and collaboration.
