9 Vancouver restaurants to participate in La Poutine Week this month

The most gravy-filled, cheesiest time of year is nearly upon us, as La Poutine Week is returning for its 11th year this week.

The annual celebration of all things fries, cheese, gravy, and more will take place in cities across Canada from February 1 to 14 this year – making the name a bit of a misnomer, as it will happen over two weeks instead of one.

If this is the first time you’re hearing about La Poutine Week, here are the basics: restaurants across the country, from the West Coast to the East Coast, will participate in the festival by signing up and offering their best versions of the classic Canadian dish.

Fable Bar
Johnnie Fox’s
Stanley’s Bar and Grill
Vancouver Aquarium
Fryway87
Blaze Gourmet Burgers
Five Star Fried Chicken Ltd.

Other BC spots will also be offering up versions of their own, including Victoria’s Greek n’Go, Surrey’s Hopcott Farm Bistro, and Kelowna’s Beer Institute.

Poutine fans can head to the restaurants to try each dish, or order delivery through DoorDash. After trying out a few dishes, participants can also head to the La Poutine Week website to vote for their favourite creation, helping promote local restaurants and sharing their cheesy experiences with others.
