There aren't a lot of BeaverTails locations in the Toronto Area but we're lucky enough to have one in Burlington! I recommend tempting Toronto friends with the promise of fried dough - you can usually get them out this way. The first few times we used this tactic, things didn't work out and we didn't make it. However today was that day - we finally made it here for a very late 3pm lunch!
You might think BeaverTails is dessert only but there is a savoury side of things in the form of poutine and the BeaverDog! Both very Canadian. Both are pretty good. My friend described the poutine as similar to the Costco one but with way crispier fries. The BeaverDog is a hot dog wrapped in a BeaverTails pastry. You have the option of getting cheese curds inside of the BeaverDog too - definitely recommend this.
I finished my meal off with a classic cinnamon and sugar BeaverTail. Depending on how they deep fry it, the tail can develop huge crispy bubbles in the middle (kind of like you'd see on a potato chip) or they're a bit denser offering a different texture and more chewy dough. So good! read more
