Fritou

What is Fritou? Set inside Finchdale Plaza at 2518 Finch Avenue West in Humber Summit, Fritou brings Quebec’s long-running fried chicken tradition to northwest Toronto. The setup is straightforward, fast-casual comfort: bright counter ordering, a handful of simple dining tables, and zero pretense. It operates as a community staple serving made-to-order halal fried poultry that caters to quick lunches and family takeout.

Fritou Menu & What to Order The kitchen's draw is its seasoned fried chicken, sporting a crackling spiced crust that locks in juices without feeling overly greasy. Pair your bone-in pieces with a side of signature creamy, peppery Fritou dipping sauce, or go for the Spicy Chicken Burger topped with lettuce, mayo, and a crunchy fried fillet. For a nod to the brand's French-Canadian roots, order the Popcorn Chicken Poutine, which smothers fries and cheese curds in hot brown gravy topped with crispy poultry bites.

Know Before You Go Seating is strictly walk-in only, and the room fills quickly during weekday lunch and dinner rushes when takeout orders peak. Finchdale Plaza provides plenty of free surface parking right outside the front door, and the 36 Finch West bus stops directly nearby. The kitchen is open Monday through Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
