Flavour Fest Toronto is here & these 5 restaurants could be your new go-to delivery spots

Toronto is known for its vibrant culinary scene, yet it’s easy to get stuck in a food rut, visiting the same places time and time again.

The good news is that DoorDash Canada is here to help you expand your culinary horizons with its first-ever Flavour Fest Toronto.

Flavour Fest Toronto is an online-only event running from Monday, Sept. 23, to Sunday, Oct. 6, and it celebrates the city’s iconic food scene by highlighting hundreds of restaurants across the GTA.

For a limited time, Door Dash customers get 30 per cent off* their orders from two unique restaurants they have never ordered from before — plus an epic all-things-Toronto prize pack** for one lucky winner.

To help inspire your taste buds and take advantage of this incredible deal, here are just a few options available during Flavour Fest Toronto.

DoorDash/Impact Kitchen

RUDY 

If you’re planning on venturing to a new restaurant but aren’t looking to try anything too culinarily adventurous, a good burger is a great place to start — and you can’t go wrong at RUDY.

DoorDash/RUDY

With seven locations across the GTA, their burgers are sure to satisfy your cravings, whether you’re getting the classic Rudy Cheeseburger or going with the Big Rudy. Why not pair your burger with a poutine and a milkshake? There’s truly nothing better!

Kettlemans Bagel

Toronto is a ways away from Montreal, but if you’re craving those Montreal-style bagels, Kettlemans Bagel is sure to satisfy mon ami!

It truly is the deli of your dreams with unparalleled bagel sandwiches. Their breakfast sandwich and Kettleman’s special (lox and schmear) are fan favourites for a reason, but their Reuben is also a hit — perfect for a quick and delicious lunch.

Don’t forget to take advantage of their deli options, where you can order homemade goods like jams, smoked salmon, and a vast selection of flavoured cream cheeses (Pro tip: the dill pickle cream cheese is incredible).

Karahi Boys

As the weather gets colder, your meals should be getting warmer, and nothing’s more enjoyable on a crisp fall day than food filled with warm spices — and Karahi Boys certainly delivers on that.

DoorDash/Karahi Boys

Serving up authentic Lahori dishes from Pakistan, these shareable plates are bursting with flavour and are sure to fill you up.

Obviously, the thing to get here is its namesake, the Karahi (specifically, the Boneless Chicken Karahi), along with some buttered naan. And if you want to add a few more bites, you might as well add some of their succulent kebabs.

Top it off with a Lassi of your choice (mango; sweet, or salty), and Karahi Boys is sure to become a frequent order spot!

Gus Tacos

Gus Tacos is often praised by Toronto locals as the best place in the city to get tacos, and it’s not hard to see why.

DoorDash/Gus Tacos

The tacos here are simple yet packed with flavour, with some crowd pleasers being the Asada (steak), Pescado Empanizado (fish), and Carnitas.

The Chilacas Taco, which is a taco served up inside a chilacas pepper covered in melted cheese, is also a must if you haven’t tried it — and yes, they’re as good as they sound!

Congee Queen

Last, but certainly not least, if you’re looking for a buffet full of different options, Congee Queen is your go-to. You’re guaranteed a hearty dinner (and potentially some leftovers for the next day).

DoorDash/Congee Queen

Try the Chef’s Special Fried Rice, which is up there with some of the best in the city. Pair that with some delicious Spice and Pepper Salt Squid, Vegetables in Garlic Sauce (preferably Chinese broccoli), or Spice and Pepper Salt Pork Chops for a dish that will certainly please the palate. 

There’s a Flavour Fest Toronto giveaway
