Endless access to takeout from Toronto's top spots is probably the best part about lockdown. In the past few months, takeout has taken on a life of its own. It's our new entertainment, our comfort, our Insta-pride and joy. Takeout gives structure to our days and provides the sustenance we need. No longer just a quick, easy bite, takeout is now our only connection to the restaurants we so vehemently miss.
Ten months into the pandemic, it feels as though little has changed. When it comes to food, then, we might as well make the most of it. If you're in the east end, no matter what you crave, from deep-dish pizza or pasta to brunch, elegant bistro fare and most things in between, these restaurants have the dishes to sate.
Give the east end some love with an order, or several, from these spots. Until we can safely dine indoors or on patios again, eating Toronto's best takeout is the closest we can get to that beloved restaurant experience. For the best takeout in the east end, take our advice and try these local favourites.
