Didn't get a reservation for a packed patio this week? You can still reconnect with your friends over a delicious meal and drinks outdoors.

With DoorDash Premium, you can have your friends over in your backyard - or meet at your favourite park - for an elevated dining experience.

The food delivery app has a new premium selection of restaurants you can order from including Kintaro Izakaya if you're craving Japanese food or Sud Forno if you want to indulge in a big bowl of fresh pasta.

Now until June 30, new and existing users can get $7 off orders of $30 or more (no promo code necessary) at these select Toronto hot spots. And, as an added bonus to new DoorDash users, you can enjoy a $0 delivery fee for 30 days*.

If you're looking to treat yourself to something gourmet, here are some downtown Toronto restaurants with savoury menus.

Lee Restaurant

Price: $18.90 and up for a plate

Details: This unique restaurant from acclaimed chef Susur Lee beautifully combines Asian and French cuisine. You can't place an order without trying the Signature Singapore Slaw or the Slow Braised Beef.
