Your Go-To Toronto Restaurant Guide in the Time of Coronavirus

In this time of uncertainty, one thing you can be sure of is that Toronto’s best restaurants are making sure that you always have options to eat well, even in the confinements of your own home.

Just admit it, although you thought this was the perfect opportunity to finally sharpen your skills and become the next Ina Garten or Bobby Flay, I think you’re better off leaving the role of chef to the experts. Here is a list of the city’s best offerings, and how you can get them on your plate:

The Pint

 Your friendly neighbourhood pub in the heart of Toronto, now in the comfort of your home. The Pint is offering a special temporary takeout menu, as well as their special $10 lunch menu between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Their menu includes your standard pub fare and then some. Think Pint Sliders, Niagara Nachos, house salads and stone oven pizzas.

The Pint is looking to add delivery options in the coming days, and you can stay in the loop through their social media and website.

Montecito 

Montecito serves Farm-To-Table inspired California cuisine right here in the heart of Toronto. Imagine a variety of colourful salads, fresh baked goods, grilled vegetables and pasta. While Montecito doesn’t typically offer delivery, it has adapted its menu to accommodate guests during these times. The menu will be available from Tuesday to Saturday for those living in the downtown core. You can find a selection of Montecito’s signature dishes on both Uber Eats and Foodora.
