Toronto restaurants and bars that have permanently closed since the pandemic began

Dec 28 2020, 4:50 pm

While some Toronto restaurants and bars shifted their business models to offer delivery or impromptu-patio service due to COVID-19 earlier this summer, others have not.

The last few months have seen many of the city’s food and drink establishments shutter for good and, realistically, the impact of the pandemic on the industry still isn’t over.
