Looking back on 2023 and forward to 2024 in Montreal's dining scene

The dining scene in Montreal's always evolving, with new developments and transformations on the horizon with each and every passing year. That's why we've asked local writers, bloggers, and photographers who are eating and drinking their way across the city about where they see restaurants and dining trends headed in 2024.

What's more, the only way to know where you're going is to know where you've been, so we've also asked how they'd summarize the last year.

If you could sum the past year's food and drink scene in a word or sentence, what would it be?

Alison Slattery, photographer, @twofoodphotographers: It would be more like a thank you to the staff and chefs who made so many delicious meals for me to enjoy with family and friends.
