The top vegan poutine in Toronto allows the city's plant-based community to get in on the classic Canadian dish. These eateries have swapped out cheese curds and beef gravy for meatless and dairy-free alternatives that don't disappoint.
Here are my picks for the top vegan poutine in Toronto.
Fresh
While poutine is usually an indulgent affair stacked with artery-clogging ingredients, Fresh's rendition includes plenty of veggies, making it a slightly healthier option. The bed of french fries is topped with steamed baby bok choy, kale, swiss chard, roasted mushroom gravy, faux cheese sauce, green onions and sunflower seeds.
Poutini's House of Poutine
Poutini's plant-based option is made with a gluten-free vegetable gravy and topped with Daiya cheese shreds. And good news for all you vegans sad about not being able to indulge in late night "drunk food," the shop is open until 3:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday (hallelujah).
Fresco's Fish & Chips
If you've been craving Quebec's most coveted fare, Fresco's has got you covered. Their two locations (in Kensington and on St. Clair West) offer a no-frills option that looks pretty similar to the real deal. It's composed of three ingredients: Daiya cheese, mushroom gravy and (of course) fries. If you feel like going for something a little different, you can sub in vegetarian chili for gravy.
Apiecalypse Now
This Koreatown pizzeria is known for making some of the best vegan pizza in town. If you look past the vast array of pies on the menu, you'll find a selection of poutine that'll quash your craving for the standard variation. There's both a traditional take on the dish - made with a veggie gravy and faux cheese curds - and supreme version stacked with add-ons like buffalo "not-chicken" and pineapple.
Off The Hook
If you're an east sider, this Danforth fish and chip shop is your best bet for vegan poutine. While it excels in pescatarian-friendly fare, its dairy-free take on poutine is far from disappointing. The dish itself is simple yet effective, composed of fries, veggie gravy, and Daiya cheese.
