Restaurants Offering Picnic Baskets To-Go

Summer’s here and that means it’s officially picnic season! While some restaurants and bars have slowly started to reopen their patios and outdoor seating, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a little picnic, especially in this gorgeous weather Toronto has been experiencing. Picking up a picnic basket or box full of goodies is also a great way to continue to support local businesses that have been impacted due to COVID-19. So pull out that picnic blanket and get ready to dine al fresco.
