New takeout restaurants in Toronto have kept us going throughout the pandemic when dining in wasn't possible, and we shouldn't stop patronizing them now that we can eat indoors. These places are perfect for a quick bite, easy dinner or a taste of a new cuisine. 

Here are some notable new takeout restaurants that have opened in Toronto. 

Don Pollo

The Quetzal space in Little Italy was repurposed during the pandemic to become this spot selling Sinaloan-style chicken, but it's definitely going to stick around even once the Mexican restaurant reopens.

This pie subscription service company has a storefront on the Danforth where you can pick up their frozen pies or a small selection of hot pies. They also sell every Canadian's favourite, butter tarts.

Omusubi Bar Suzume
