keeping people working; keeping us happily fed

A by-no-means comprehensive list of who is doing what so far. If you don’t see your favourite resto listed below, call them to see if they are doing take-out. Check out the news about bakeries, meat shops and grocery near the end too.

Keep in mind it’s not business as usual—perhaps the whole menu isn’t available—or, take-out/pick-up is restricted to a certain time frame or day.

Not everyone is able to set up for take-out; these restaurants are temporarily closed: A Bite of Brazil (you can buy their delish cheese bread and other delights via youniquecommerce.com though), Café Bicyclette, Café Linnea, Empress Bakery, The Glass Monkey, Juniper Bistro, Kitchen by Brad, Lock Stock Coffee, Madison’s, Pampa Steakhouses, Rosso Pizza and Smokey Bear. Cooking classes have also been cancelled. Let’s hope all are able to re-open soon.

One more thing, please don’t use a gift card to pay. These small businesses need the bit of take-out and to-go activity to keep the lights on. Save the gc for happier times.
