From 2011-2021, The Dep was a venue that showcased amateur and professional culinary talent, expanding the possibilities for food and community in Toronto.
While the bricks & mortar venue is now closed, The Depanneur is still involved in interesting food things, like our amazing 2023 Communal Table outdoor dinner series put on in collaboration with The Bentway.
We still send out an email newsletter listing upcoming events.
