“Boon,” the word for bean in Dutch and
Afrikaans, in English describes something bringing blessings or benefits, or to
be thankful for. And with Boon
Burger, a 100 percent vegan burger restaurant with two locations
in Winnipeg and a third that opened earlier this month in Barrie, Ontario, we
certainly do have something to be thankful for!
Established in 2010, Boon Burger was
the first all-vegan burger restaurant in Canada. Initially offering nine
different burgers, Boon now offers 14 delicious vegan burgers with a creative,
world cuisine-inspired combination of toppings, most of them local, organic, or
fair trade.
The bombay
talkie burger creates exotic flavours by incorporating sweet tangy bombay
sauce with roasted yam, while adding a more “conventional” taste with
smoky “bacun” and vegan cheddar. The thanksgiving burger allows diners to experience fall harvest meals
year-round with its cranberry sauce, glazed yam, and gravy over a grilled
potato-crusted “turkey” patty.

While the delicious yet healthy and
affordable burgers are filling, those with a larger appetite can add oven baked
sesame-potato fries, soups, or healthy salads.
Delicious coconut milk-based shakes
with flavours that change daily are a tasty complement to any meal. And no one should leave without tasting
Boon’s unique take on the banana split — a sumptuous combination of bananas,
coconut milk ice cream, berry sauce, pineapple, and dark chocolate sauce.
Whether in Winnipeg or Barrie, don’t miss the extraordinary
culinary experience of Boon Burger. As proudly announced on its menu board,
you’ll be “making a better choice for your overall health, the
environment, as well as eliminating animal suffering.”
Boon Burger is a great place to get a taste of vegan dining. If
