PETA Picks: The Best Vegan Poutines in Canada
Canadians—and anyone else who tries it—love poutine. The best and most delicious version, however, is always dairy-free, and you can find fantastic vegan poutine—with vegan gravy—all over Canada. Check out the restaurants with the best vegan poutine in Canada:
Five Places With the Best Vegan Poutine:
Naked Cafe, Market Poutine, British Columbia
Market Poutine features seasoned fries, dairy-free mozzarella, vegan gravy, tomato, purple cabbage, cucumber, creamy tahini drizzle, green onions, and black sesame.
NJ’s Kitchen, Spicy Vegan Butter Chicken Poutine, Newfoundland
Fries (or naan strips) are served with a tasty vegan butter chicken curry.
NJ’s menu includes a long list of other Bangladeshi-style vegan dishes, such as samosa and vegetable biryani.
Leopold’s Tavern, Plant-Based Buffalo Chicken Poutine, Manitoba
This dish of fries is served with vegan chicken and cheddar and smothered with buffalo and dill ranch sauce. Leopold’s Tavern also offers Plant-Based Poutine with vegan gravy and cheese, and many other vegan items, including burgers, quesadillas, nachos, and wings.
Ditch the Dairy
Cows are gentle, social animals with remarkable emotional depth. They can recognize more than 100 other cows and form close friendships within their herds, sometimes bonding through physical connection, such as licking each other. Studies reveal that cows who received licks from their companions experienced lower heart rates and greater relaxation. There is nothing calming or compassionate about the dairy industry, however, where these sensitive individuals are treated as commodities.
MeeT, Butter Chikkin Poutine, British Columbia
Vegan poutine with Indian flair: These fries are topped with vegan butter chicken in a rich, creamy tomato curry, vegan gravy, and mozza, then topped with kachumber vegetables and cilantro.
MeeT also has two other poutine options: Teem Poutine (with savory cashew miso gravy, finished with scallions) and Philly Cheezsteak (with red peppers and topped with charred steak curls and pickled jalapeño slices).
Odd Burger, Smoky Pulled Jack Poutine, Saskatchewan
Mouthwatering golden fries are drenched with dairy-free mozzarella, vegan gravy, and marinated pulled jackfruit, smothered in barbeque sauce and green onions. It’s tastebud heaven!
If you’re into variety, Odd Burger also has four other poutine options: Classic, ChickUn BacUn Ranch, Tater Tot, and Smoky Pulled Jack Tater Tot.
