There's a new spot for fried chicken in Toronto, but you won't actually find any chicken there.

Blissful Bird is a plant-based comfort food joint that opened in Snakes & Lattes at the end of April, and it specializes in a meatless fried "Chickun."

The dish is made with gluten-free flours, pea protein, non-GMO tofu, and spices, and is filled with flavour and juiciness.

The restaurant is already gaining popularity and has even sold out due to high demand.

There is a range of menu items available for pickup or delivery, and, according to the venue, the top sellers are the fried Chickun nuggets and any of the sandwiches.

Blissful Bird

Price: 💸-💸💸

Cuisine: Vegan, gluten-free, halal, plant-based

Address: 489 College St., Toronto, ON

Why You Need To Go: Indulge in all the comforts of fried chicken without the chicken at this new plant-based spot.
