It has been a difficult for the small independent businesses, with many of them barely keeping afloat. Our many restaurants can only open for takeout or delivery. With this is mind, here are some of the top Take Out restaurants thriving in our community:
VIKING FISH & CHIPS; 2416 Lakeshore Blvd. W., recently moved to Mimico from their Queensway location, where they have been in business since 1952. They are best known for their wholesome halibut or haddock fish along with fresh cut fries. You can reach them at 416-259-2051 or www.vikingfishandchips.net
KITCHEN OFF SIXTH; 2976 Lakeshore Blvd. W.: is always a popular spot with an impressive and interesting menu; they are offering a Fish and Chip special with 2 beers for $35. It looks sumptuous. In addition to the good food you can also order booze, since any venue that was licensed for table service is now able to sell beer or wine for takeout and delivery. You can reach them at 647-349-4412 or www.kitchenonsixth.com
FBI PIZZA; 2336 Lakeshore Blvd. W., features lots of exciting choices, but even their basic
Margherita is a pizza ‘work of art’. The food is good. Both beer and wine are available for either takeout or delivery. They can be reached at 416-251-0101 or www.fbipizza.com
CALABRESE PIZZA, 3019 Lake Shore Blvd. W., for one of the best ‘thin crust’ pizza in the area. All natural products, no corners cut. You will like it. Call for pick-up or delivery at 416-503-0999 or calabresepizza.ca

APACHE BURGER, 5236 Dundas St.W., is a trip back down memory lane to the sixties with their classic fast-food burgers and fries. An iconic burger-joint that opened in ’69 and still going strong. Still a favourite with the regulars. Phone them for pick-up at 416-233-3046.
