A NEW city centre food venue selling a Canadian delicacy will open in Bradford tomorrow by offering free food to its first customers.

Brooklyn Fries on Upper Millergate will be dedicated to the little known dish poutine, made up of French fries topped with cheese curds, a gravy or other sauce and assorted other toppings like fried eggs or meats.

The business opens in the former Tribeca cafe unit tomorrow, and is offering its first 50 customers a free portion after it opens at 1pm. After that food will be buy one get one free for the rest of the day.

Run by Imtiaz Pandor, the business is one of just a few in the UK specialising in Poutine. He decided to change the concept of Tribeca, which he bought four years ago, to offer a new type of food in the city centre.

The business will be open from noon until 10pm on Friday and Saturday, and from noon until 8pm on Monday to Thursday.
