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.
