Poutine may be the ultimate Canadian bar food, but if you serve it up in the morning and add some eggs and more creative toppings, you’ve got the makings for a breakfast of champions.

Here are six eye-opening breakfast poutine creations to try in Vancouver.

Poutine Breakfast at Linh Cafe

Linh Café melds together the culinary traditions of France and Vietnam, but when it comes to their Poutine Breakfast dish, things get all sorts of Canadian. Hand cut fries are topped with Swiss cheese, black forest ham, peppercorn gravy, and a poached egg. Not enough for you? Add half a butter poached lobster. Whoa!

While the Wallflower Modern Diner is known for being a haven for vegans and vegetarians, they still manage to turn out some meaty fare for the omnivores.
