Press Release

Earls will offer its 100 per cent vegan, plant-based menu section across select Canadian and American locations this summer. After positively trialing these plant-based dishes at Earls Test Kitchen in Vancouver this spring, Earls first introduced seven plant-based items permanently at Earls Ambleside Beach in neighbouring West Vancouver in May.

Beginning today July 17, 2018, Earls Yaletown (Vancouver), Earls Tin Palace (Edmonton), Earls King Street (Toronto), Earls Prudential Center (Boston) and Earls Bellevue (Washington) diners will have the opportunity to choose from all-vegan selections including Spicy Tofu Tacos, Vegan Hunan Kung Pao and Green Dragon Roll. Earls Bankers Hall (Calgary) and Earls Tin Palace (Calgary) will see the new menu items on offer from July 25.

“Earls menus are designed the way our guests want to eat,” Earls vice president brand and marketing Kristin Vekteris remarked. “We’re listening to our guests and staff. We’re hearing more and more that they are either meat eaters who are seeking out plant-based options, or looking to enjoy completely vegan dishes as part of their restaurant experience.”

Executive chef Phil Gallagher spearheads the culinary development team at Earls and is tasked with conceptualizing creative and above all, tasty plant-based dishes.

“It’s important for us to offer a variety of options that are healthy and indulgent and vegan food is no different. Like any dish, flavour profiles must be addictive, fresh and delicious and we’re proud to have created taste, technique and texture combinations that we think all our guests will love.

The plant-based menu is also available now at Earls Langley (Vancouver), Earls Bridgepark (Burnaby) and Earls Legacy West (Texas). New plant-based menu items will also be introduced at these locations in the fall, with details released in October.
