10 Canadian Places that Serve Free Food on Your Birthday

Today we feature a guest writer, John Adams, a lifestyle blogger (Healthnic), who loves sharing his personal opinions and experiences. He enjoys travelling for the love for nature and wildlife. He is also very adventurous when it comes to food; he is always eager to try exotic dishes in strange places, and then recreate them (with a twist) at home. He comes to us with an American perspective of Canada. Thank you for taking the time to be a guest writing John!

You are lucky to live in Canada, as you can avail so many freebies on your big day. Who wouldn’t cherish some free food from his/her favorite restaurant or café as a birthday gift? Most eateries around Canada have loyalty programs that award points on every purchase; these points can be used to redeem a free meal or discount later on. Loyalty members take advantage of several other benefits as well, such as complimentary treats on special days. While most places reserve birthday freebies for regular customers and subscribers, some may present you with a gift by checking the birth date on your ID card. Using a fake ID for free food shall be considered a criminal offense (affiliate link).
