Networking Social & La Popessa Menu Launch

The MTL Founders Collective is back!

Come join us as well as the new owners of La Popessa for a night of great food, drinks, inspiration and peer-networking at La Popessa Restaurant on Thursday, July 18th from 6-10 p.m.

As is the case with all events hosted by the MTL Founders Collective, this event aims to not only provide an entertaining evening (with fresh italian cuisine) but also to encourage a space for inspiration and problem solving for local founders and business professionals.

With this in mind, we want to encourage all those who are attending to bring with them one or two challenges they are looking to overcome in their business or professional lives.

For those who need a little extra encouragement to mix and mingle, we even have a couple of interactive networking activities planned!

Le MTL Founders Collective est de retour!

Joignez-vous à nous pour une soirée de délicieux repas, de boissons, d'inspiration et de réseautage entre pairs au Restaurant La Popessa, le jeudi 18 juillet de 18 h à 22 h.

Comme pour tous les événements organisés par le MTL Founders Collective, cet événement vise non seulement à offrir une soirée divertissante (avec de la cuisine italienne fraîche), mais aussi à encourager un espace d'inspiration et de résolution de problèmes pour les fondateurs locaux et les professionnels des affaires.

Avec cela en tête, nous voulons encourager tous les participants à apporter avec eux un ou deux défis qu'ils cherchent à surmonter dans leur vie professionnelle ou d'affaires.

Pour ceux qui ont besoin d'un peu plus d'encouragement pour se mêler et réseauter, nous avons même prévu quelques activités interactives de réseautage!

About La Popessa Restaurant:

Situated in Old Port Montreal, La Popessa – the original, the Nonna of the build-your-own-pasta concept – is making a bold comeback. Our revamped menu streamlines the client experience, focusing on the quality of ingredients while maintaining the affordability of a nutritious meal, prepared before your very eyes. Our recipes preserve the authenticity, flavour, and home-cooked feel of rustic Italian comfort cuisine. We offer a selection of carefully selected pasta classics, gourmet pizzas, salads, and of course, homemade Italian desserts!

As of March 2024, La Popessa has come under new ownership by Abrar and Naba Alvalla, a husband-wife duo who relocated to Montreal in April 2023. We know first-hand the challenges of learning a new language and assimilating into a new culture – and we know that effort needs a community to succeed. That’s why our vision for La Popessa is more than a restaurant – it’s that third place where we dine, unwind, and mingle. A hotspot for social gatherings and a hub for idea exchanges, we welcome you to bring old friends and meet new ones, and to join us in this endeavour of building a community within this city.

After all, a world that feeds each other is a world that leads each other.
