Toronto's "est restaurant" made headlines earlier this year when they publicly stopped working with food delivery apps, and now, owner and Executive Chef Jordan Diniz is taking things a step further. In a May 20 Instagram post on est's account, Jordan explains that the restaurant will no longer be offering takeout in any form, nor patio service for the 2025 summer season. In the case of takeout, it all roots back to the same reason the restaurant stopped offering delivery. "For me, it's not about the money — it's about the food, the quality and what we're trying to build and achieve here," Jordan writes. So, now that you can't order in, you can try est restaurant for yourself, in person (gasp!)
