10 of the best places to get fancy takeout meals in Toronto
"There’s something about the buttermilk fried chicken and waffle combo that just works well. Every dish on the Stockyards Smokehouse & Larder’s Sunday brunch menu incorporates the exceptional barbeque cuisine the restaurant is known for, whether it’s paired with smoked meat or housemade bacon or sausage. Priced from $10 to $20, Stockyards favourites include the Dirty Bird (a boneless fried chicken breast topped with bacon and cheddar, a sunny side-up egg and gravy, served sandwiched between a Belgian waffle) and the classic Stockyards breakfast sandwich (a deep-fried poached egg with bacon or country sage sausage and aged cheddar on a buttermilk biscuit)."
"Despite demand from customers, the owners of this little smokehouse/diner haven't enlarged the space, expanded the brand, or even gotten a liquor license. Instead, they’ve stayed the course, satisfying the neighborhood with juicy fried chicken, burgers, and, on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, smoked ribs."
"Always show up a little earlier, as this place is POPULAR!!!!. You may get caught in a lineup, but always 100% worth it."

"Nugateau is an all-eclair patisserie known for authentic French baking techniques and high-quality products with no artificial flavourings. Nugateau has a brilliant selection of creative flavours like Roseabelle (Raspberry Rose & Mascarpone Cream, Raspberry Compote, White Chocolate Glaze, Dried Raspberry and rose petals, Candied Almonds) and Belleviolette (Cassis cremeux,Violet glaze, Fresh Blackberry) meaning their eclairs are guaranteed to delight."
"A post shared by Nügateau Patisserie (@nugateau) on Mar 5, 2020 at 10:15am PST. While this french pastry shop is mostly dedicated to eclairs, cakes are to be found on the menu, and they’re made with just as much care as the tinier offerings. Made with no artificial flavourings, each of these works of art is decorated so elaborately that you almost won’t want to eat it."
"After a period of celebrating the jack-of-all-trades, it is nice to see some specialization in the dessert world. Nugateau is a bakery that uses French baking techniques to result in fantastic eclairs, and only eclairs. This doesn't mean that creativity is out of the window."
"Eva’s Original Chimneysmixes two of America’s most popular desserts; doughnuts and ice cream. Their specialty, Chimneys, are freshly baked Hungarian pastries with a crunchy outside and a soft inside. Eva’s offers not only a satisfying treat but also a visual experience, as the Chimney Cakes are baked using a traditional-style, open rotisserie grill, just like on the streets of Budapest."
"Owners Justin and Kristin Butler first launched Eva’s Original Chimneys as a food truck in 2015. The family-run Toronto ice cream business was named after Justin’s grandmother who’s originally from Budapest. The duo’s Hungarian chimney cone concept (known as Kürtöskalács in Hungary or Trdelník in Czech), was such a success they opened a storefront in 2017 on Bloor Street West."
"Eva’s Original Chimneys has always been very vegan-friendly. Their chimney cones are naturally vegan, and they have vegan ice cream, too. Many cones are marked as vegan on the menu."
