GarfieldEats was a ghost restaurant themed after the Garfield franchise. It was founded in 2018 by Nathen Mazri and Pascal Haider.[1] The restaurant has opened locations in Dubai, U.A.E.; Toronto, Ontario; London, England; London, Ontario and Dublin, Ireland. The Toronto, Ontario location closed on November 9, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a dispute over rent;[2][3] an earlier dispute that year resulted in the restaurant closing temporarily.[4] It has since been reduced to a frozen foods brand, selling only "Big Cow" Lasagnas.[5]
GarfieldEats features entries such as lasagna (the title character's favorite food), Garfield-shaped pizza, "Garfuccinos", smoothies, and Garfield-shaped dark chocolate bars.[1][6][7] Customers can order food by using mobile phones attached to a restaurant's walls; customers may also use the GarfieldEats phone app for delivery.[6] The app also allows customers to play games and watch episodes of Garfield and Friends.[7]
The restaurant's slogan, "Love Me, Feed Me, Don't Leave Me", is based on the Garfield quote "Love me, feed me, never leave me"; Nathen Mazri was particularly inspired by its appearance in Garfield: The Movie.[8] Mazri and Garfield creator Jim Davis have described GarfieldEats as "entergaging" (a portmanteau of "entertaining" and "engaging").[1][9]
GarfieldEats shut down on Christmas Eve, 2021.[citation needed]
