YATAI MTL 2023: The Japanese street food festival is back!
YATAI MTL is back for another edition this spring. This year, the street food festival invites you to the Peel Basin to immerse yourself in Japanese culture through a rich cultural program and numerous food kiosks.
YATAI MTL welcomes you to a celebration of Japan from June 8 to 11. Join the festivities to discover Japanese street food and learn more about Japanese culture through activities and shows. Now located at the Peel Basin, the festival will be able to welcome you in large numbers, on a much larger site this year. In addition to the many restaurants taking part in the event, there will be a wide range of specialty stores and market stalls. The Association Saké Québec will also be on hand to offer you a tasting of sakés straight from Japan.
