THE DEPANNEUR COLLEGE ST. LOCATION HAS CLOSED
The end of an era… and the start of a whole new adventure! MORE >
For over a decade, The Depanneur hosted thousands of unique Drop-In Dinners, Cooking Classes, Table Talks, and Supper Clubs. The Dep was also the birthplace of Newcomer Kitchen, a non-profit social enterprise that helped create social and economic opportunities for Syrian refugee women through food-based projects.
In 2023 The Depanneur will be exploring new ways to celebrate the incredible diversity of culinary talent we have in Toronto. You can keep abreast of our latest developments and new collaborations via our email newsletter, (subscribe here), or on our Facebook or Instagram pages.
