About Gusta

Gusta is a Montreal maker of plant-based foods, founded in 2015. Its range goes from vegan sausages and burgers to vegan bologna, the kind of deli and grill staples many people grew up with, made without meat. The brand aims to make plant-based eating feel familiar rather than unusual.

It suits vegans and vegetarians, and also flexitarians who want to eat less meat without changing their habits too much. Throw the sausages or burgers on the barbecue in summer, or slice the bologna for sandwiches and lunchboxes. It is an easy way to bring a plant-based option to a family cookout made in Montreal.
