The Best Toronto Takeout for a Fancy Birthday Dinner

Birthday celebrations are strange in quarantine. No large gatherings with friends, intimate dinners out or late nights spent sipping on cocktails. A lot has been lost this past year but one thing remains, the dedication from Toronto restaurants to continue to serve us decadent feasts in the comfort of our own homes. From omakase boxes, towering seafood platters, cowboy cut steaks and 7-course meals, there's no shortage of options when choosing the birthday meal of your dreams.

Below is a list of some of the best options for fancy takeout spreads to celebrate your birthday in style.

Lake Inez

This eclectic and quirky wine bar and restaurant in Little India has been dishing out some seriously delicious looking featured meals (that sell out very fast). Their dinners typically follow a theme, with last week's being an ode to Tex-Mex, which came with 'Gussied Up' Nachos, Texas Caviar Wedge Salad, Cast Iron Fried Brisket Fritters, 2 a.m. Taco Truck Carnita and dessert. For $125, you get a 5-course meal for two, a bottle of natural wine, a love letter and seven years of good luck (or so the restaurant claims). Orders can be made through the link in bio on the restaurant's Instagram and vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options are also available.

Burger Bundle meal kit and pair it with the Milk Punch cocktail to-go (you won't be sorry).
