"A lively winter fête that tempts locals and visitors out of hibernation with citywide events built around an annual culinary theme (2025 highlights women in the culinary world). Roughly 60 restaurants, including marquee names, collaborate with high-profile global chefs to offer special festival menus; pop-up restaurants, food trucks, live music animate Place des Festivals; and a Village Gourmand features dozens of chef demonstrations for outdoor and indoor food-focused fun." - Waheeda Harris
