On Saturday, July 5, 2025, the second edition of Festiv'été édition piquante took place at Marché Jean-Talon. The event showcased the entire world of spicy foods. Some fifteen companies specializing in the preparation of spicy side dishes, a Colombian music group, a salsa dance workshop and a hot sauce tasting competition all warmed up the atmosphere.

At the end of the afternoon, during the competition hosted by Dominique Bottex, several valiant participants battled it out to win the title of hot sauce champion. We congratulate them on their courage and fiery taste buds!

The companies who took part:

🌶 Processed peppers products from  Ferme Spika

🌶 Fermented foods from Ferment

🌶 BBQ sauces and spices by Fumivore

🌶 A wide variety of hot sauces created by La Pimenterie

🌶 A wide range of hot sauces from La Sauce MTL

🌶 Ready-to-eat dishes inspired by Caribbean recipes from Les Aliments Kanaval

🌶 Creole-inspired condiments and dry spices from Produits M

🌶 Pimente ta vie's homemade hot sauces made with local peppers

🌶 Mexican-inspired sauces and accompaniments from Saveurs du sud

🌶 Mexican hot sauces made with local ingredients from Temaca Microsaucerie

🌶 Teochew Foodie's artisanal seasonings, hot oils and wontons

The event program

  • Music show by Nico&Pedro Music, a musical project born in 2020 from the meeting of two Colombian travelers. Their fascinating repertoire combines songs from the Andes, rhythms such as cumbia and chacarera, and original compositions enriched by their travels.
  • Colombian salsa workshop presented by Mazorca MTL, taking place right in front of the terrace of this famous taco counter in the resto zone. The Espace Yambae dance troupe led the way.
  • A great hot sauce tasting competition presented by La Pimenterie, in which several participants competed for the title of hot sauce champion in a taste test against sauces of increasing intensity on the Scoville scale.
