The Best Ghost Kitchen Takeout Options in Toronto

Now more than ever, there are plenty of options when it comes to finding the best ghost kitchen takeout options in Toronto!

There are so many phenomenal ghost kitchens in the city! What are ghost kitchens, you may ask? Well, they are professional food preparation and cooking facilities set up to prepare delivery-only or takeout-only meals. The number of them has increased dramatically over the past several months. During the pandemic, many people were left without a job and had to find creative ways to make an income. Many other individuals have found that during the pandemic, they have more time on their hands and are able to pursue hobbies (like cooking) that they previously could not find time for. To say many negatives to come out of this pandemic would be an understatement, but in the midst of all this chaos, people have seemed to discover their passion for bringing the joy of food to people in their communities.

Ghost kitchens are a new business model that allows the restaurant business to expand its customer base and reach residents across the city. Toronto is the perfect place to commence a ghost kitchen because of its highly concentrated downtown core.

Many ghost kitchens are scattered around the city, many of which are available through delivery apps or are available to order via Instagram or business websites. If you are in the mood for some delicious food cooked with care and passion, check out the list below for some of the city's best ghost kitchens.
