Toronto Restaurants Food + Drink Guides by Neighbourhood

🕒 2 min read

The effect of the Coronavirus pandemic on restaurateurs, managers, service staff, kitchen staff, office staff, and anyone in the foodservice industry, is devastating.

Not only have restaurants, bars, breweries, bakeries, cafes and food shops have to quickly pivot to adhere to advisories that are changing by the day – and now, hour – many of them have decided to close for the next two weeks in order to ‘flatten the curve’ and help stop further spread of COVID-19. Others are trying to swiftly set up systems for pickup and delivery, so that they can keep feeding you – and stay in business.

I have been diligently covering the restaurant scene for the last +15 years not because it’s a job, but because I believe the industry is vital to our wellbeing. These places do more than feed us; they nourish our souls, give us a place to look forward to, come together, connect, and celebrate. 

So I’m creating a guide of restaurants, bars, breweries, bakeries, cafes, and food shops by neighbourhood that you can refer to for shopping in person, take out, and delivery. I’ve reached out to every Business Improvement Area (BIA) in Toronto, and with their help, will post the most comprehensive guide I can. This will be a running list that I will update as frequently as possible, but as things are changing so quickly, please check with each establishment for their updated hours and policies.

I’ll be posting as quickly as I can, and I’ll have more info in the newsletter, so subscribe to stay up-to-date, and follow Toronto Restaurants on Insta and FB for timely updates. 

We will get through this. 

In the meantime, please support our local businesses. They need us now more than ever.
