Thanksgiving in Canada is right around the corner and while some might be tempted to roast a turkey and host a meal at home, there are a number of Toronto restaurants where you can buy an entire festive dinner without the stress of cooking or cleanup.
Making a Thanksgiving meal from scratch is a major task, and while you could always go out and simply buy a few rotisserie chickens and a tasty pie from the grocery store, even that's a bit of a hassle.
But it doesn't have to be that way. We've got a few ideas for you on how to make your life a little simpler this weekend because dealing with family is already a lot.
Toronto has plenty of restaurants offering Thanksgiving meals to take home or eat out, so you can save time and spend your long weekend doing the other things you like, such as visiting a pumpkin patch or heading to Halloween Haunt at Canada's Wonderland.
Here are the Toronto restaurants where you can get a full Thanksgiving meal for yourself and your loved ones this long weekend, without going to the trouble of making it yourself.
You can thank me later.
