Many Toronto restaurants have created holiday feast bundles that are now available to order for takeaway.
Here are five restaurants to order your holiday feast from, just in time for Christmas.
Epoch
Epoch Bar & Kitchen Terrace is ushering in the holidays in true British fashion with a decadent set menu for Christmas Eve. The celebratory three-course meal features classic English dishes with a twist. Epoch’s head chef, Jeff Crump, will be offering some delicious traditional festive dishes such as roast Norfolk County turkey, prime rib aux jus, or sticky toffee pudding. A live band will play into the evening, and champagne pairings will also be on offer.
Bookings are now open on Opentable for December 24, 2021. Prices are $140 per guest.
Louix Louis
One of Toronto’s most luxurious dining venues, Louix Louis, is inviting guests to ring in the holidays with both an in-person dinner, or a takeout bundle. Located on the 31st floor of the St. Regis Hotel, Louix Louis has a series of festive menus now available for booking through the OpenTable app.
The Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinner include starters such as the lobster and burrata and truffle sunchoke velouté, mains like the roasted truffle chicken (feeds two) done two ways, or the black cod or lemon saffron risotto. Of course, be sure to save room for desserts, including the restaurant’s signature King’s Cake–a delectable 13-layer chocolate cake drizzled in chocolate sauce, as well as other holiday specialty desserts like the buche de noel (bahibe praline mousse and red currants) and the eggnog orelys cheesecake.

The Drake
Back for another year, The Drake’s Festivus dinner features a three-course feast with all the fixings, available at both The Drake Hotel or the Drake Devonshire on Dec. 24 and Dec. 25. The holiday feast includes chicory salad with roasted apples, candied pecans, Gunn’s Hill Handeck cheese and sherry-maple vinaigrette, along with roast turkey served with savoury bread pudding, roasted root vegetables, green beans, mashed potatoes plus all the sauces, and all finished up with sticky toffee pudding. The Festivus feast is $45 per person, and $22 for children. A vegetarian version of the feast is also available.

TOCA
Toca, found inside the glitzy Ritz-Carlton Toronto, is offering set menus for both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. To start, a buffet-style harvest table offers charcuterie options and appetizers like radicchio salad, duck confit and Brussels sprouts salad, arugula salad with pine nut gremolata, and more. Guests are then able to choose from a selection of entrees, such as smoked wild king salmon and house-made squash tortellini, to name a few. The meal is topped off by a buffet-style dessert table and dual chocolate fountains. Those who are interested can book both events via Opentable at $190 per guest.

Available through Chefdrop, chef Michael Angeloni and Union Chicken will be providing a festive roasted half chicken served with cranberry glaze.
