It's time to say goodbye to some members of the city's beloved food scene.
Toronto's permanent restaurant closures this month include some spots that will certainly be missed.
While the reason for the closures is not always clear, some places have revealed that they cannot continue to operate due to pandemic restrictions.
On October 10, indoor dining ceased as Toronto moved back into Stage 2 for 28 days.
Outdoor and patio dining is still permitted but with the temperatures dropping, bars and restaurants are having to find creative ways to keep guests warm.
