Is there anything better than fall in Montreal and a bowl of piping hot ramen?

Ramen Ramen Fes, the fall festival of our dreams, is returning to Montreal for a third edition this year and bringing all the delicious, iconic Japanese noodles.

Talk about comfort food.

Running over the course of two weeks, Ramen Ramen Fes is an opportunity to celebrate the cult dish (and one of our favourite cheap eats) by eating your way across the city, one ramen at a time.

With almost 30 participating restaurants, get ready to compare bulgogi ramyun with ramen phnom penh—or taste extra special versions like ramen with fresh autumn truffle and enoki tempura.
