The Depanneur

Held my bachelorette party at The Dep and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Len and Neil were so welcoming and accommodating. The food we prepared with the guidance of Chef Niharika (Haem’s Table) was delicious. If you’re considering hosting your event or taking a cooking class at The Dep, I couldn’t recommend them more!

I went to a Knife Skills workshop in the new space on Spadina. I enjoyed the workshop, it was fairly basic but a friendly atmosphere. We diced, cubed, and chopped veggies for a chickpea and potato curry and salsa which we had for lunch after the workshop. Delicious! The space is lovely. Big windows, great views, exposed brick and chandeliers, in an old building. The Dep has a lot of interesting stuff happening.

An absolutely beautiful experience! Sharing culture and stories through food. The founder, Len, really cares about what he's doing and it's contagious. I participated in the Syrian iftar cooking class and learned to make some incredible dishes. But what really stuck with me was the connections and conversations I had with those around the table. I'll def be going back!

I attended the Syrian Brunch cooking class and it was fantastic! Delicious food, cool space and super friendly people. I look forward to attending future events.

What an absolute delight of a brunch experience! Mama Linda fixed us up an amazing Filipino lunch and mini cloudcakes, everything was so delicious and so new! My fiend and I got the Kamayan platter for two and we were both comfortably stuffed. Mama Linda herself came over and had a chat with us about the food and what we thought. We had a wonderful morning here and will definitely be back for the dinner parties and some cooking lessons!

The Depanneur is a small cafe with delicious homemade foods from culinary students. The food takes a little longer to prepare because of this but it is so delicious. Very small dining area so you may have to get comfortable with the people next you!

I love this restaurant and all the flavours they create. It’s so cool that they use food to bridge cultures and help us accept new immigrants into our society.

The big Lebanese breakfast is honestly one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I dream regularly about the next time I’ll be able to come back!
