Popular chicken bowl chain opening soon at Square One in Mississauga

No matter the language, chicken remains a staple menu option wherever you go and this latest restaurant making its way to Mississauga’s Square One, adds a French twist to this culinary essential.

Poulet Rouge —a restaurant offering its customers a build-your-own-bowl experience has officially set up its signage.

According to the restaurant’s website, it was originally founded in Quebec in 2012 when two friends opened a small restaurant which eventually underwent some rebranding in 2014— simplifying its menu to focus on tender grilled chicken fillets marinated in a secret family recipe.

In each bowl, patrons will find halal grilled chicken tenders, a choice from a diverse selection of 16 toppings, three different grain choices, and 7 distinct sauces. The restaurant boasts over 4,444 different bowl combinations.

Some of the fresh toppings include corn, onions, spinach, beans, tomatoes and cucumbers. The grain options include brown rice, quinoa and bulgur wheat.

If you’re feeling extra hungry you might want to opt into trying a Canadian favourite —poutine, which is paired with homemade fries and the classic gravy and cheese curds. For an extra charge customers can add up to three toppings.

For those adhering to a vegetarian diet, Poulet Rouge offers the flexibility to order a bowl or poutine with the option to exclude chicken.

Since its launch nearly 11 years ago —the restaurant has opened more than 500 locations in Quebec with an interest in expanding across Canada.

While Poulet Rouge has attracted considerable attention from mall visitors at Square One, those eager to savour their next meal here will have to exercise patience, as an official opening date has not been posted outside the establishment.
