Today’s feature is Real Fake Meats, “Halifax’s 1st Vegan Butcher Shop specializing in Plant-Based Meats and Cheese!” On their website they state that “We cook and serve everything from SCRATCH out of our 1000 square foot space!” We went there to check out the novelty of it after a friend told us about it, and it did not disappoint!
They do take-out, dine-in, and delivery, and man do they have some awesome things! Look closely at the pictures of the items on display and you’ll find things like delightful desserts, cheese blocks and cheese balls, various meats for dinner, and more!
We went there for a lupper, and got the Popcorn Chicken Poutine, the Real Fake Wings with allll the sauces, and a berry crumble square for dessert. It was all fantastic! The poutine had this amazing breaded little chicken balls, cheese curd squares, and a delightful crazy. The wings were great, especially dipped in their ranch sauce. I think I would love it if they had a sweet chili sauce, but the ones they had were good too. I was particularly impressed with the buffalo sauce, as I usually find it overpowering and too vinegar-y, but this was well balanced. Even the berry crumble, a fairly safe and simple option, was surprising in how tasty it was!
This place was so tasty, and definitely our favorite food while in Halifax, that we even tried to go back the next day on our way out of town. Sadly, we forgot they are closed on Mondays, but if not for that we definitely would’ve been there two days in a row!
