These were the most exciting pop-ups of Montreal's dining scene in 2023Marc-Olivier Frappier of Mon Lapin during a pop-up night with Toronto's own Taverne Bernhardt's.

We can't say for sure, but despite all of the hardships seen in the restaurant industry, this past year had to be one of the best in recent memory for pop-ups. The last 365 days had chefs from Canadian and international cities near and far coming through to cook in our local kitchens, and it was amazing.

Here are the pop-ups that made the biggest impression on Montreal's writers, critics, photographers, and bloggers. Take notes as you go through these names—with these names, you'll know who to keep an eye on in 2024 when you want to experience something totally new.
