Pick-Up Dinners
Pre-Order Online for Pickup WEDs & FRIs
Every week different guest chefs prepare prix-fixe dinners for 2 or 4.
Note: Chefs cook alone in the kitchen, your food is packed up and you pick it up through the front window. Also The Dep is not in use in between events, giving our kitchen several days with no one in it as an additional precaution.
An “open mic night” for culinary talent
Every week guest cooks, amateur or professional, are invited to The Dep to make their favourite food. In June & July, Drop-In Dinners are on Wednesday nights.
Drop-In Dinners are prepared by a ever-changing lineup of guest cooks, with a unique menu every week. With main courses priced around $10-$14, Drop-In Dinners start at 6pm, and are served first-come, first-served until we sell out, or until around 9pm. No reservations are needed (or taken) – just “drop in”. Seating is at one of the two big tables or at the window counters. Dinners can also be ordered to-go, and you’re welcome to bring your own containers if you like.
Wherever possible, we provide vegetarian, vegan and/or gluten-free options. Check event listings for menu details.
The Dep is not licensed and these events are not BYOB.
NOTE: Drop-In Dinners occasionally sell out before 9pm
We’re always looking for enterprising foodies who’d like to cook for a crowd and make a bit of extra cash. If you’d like to do a Drop-In Dinner at The Depanneur, click here to learn more.
