Downtown: Our take-out suggestions

More than ever, our downtown restaurateurs need love. The pandemic has created an exodus from the downtown core as, among other things, working from home has emptied the high-rises. Business dinners and lunchtime client meetings are not as popular as they were before the pandemic, another factor that makes life more difficult, if not impossible, for the restaurants of this part of town.

Furthermore, if you’ve been downtown recently, you’ll surely have noticed the omnipresence of orange cones in all directions. With construction on every corner and new signage every week, it’s no wonder Montrealers avoid the area at all costs.

That said, this is exactly why local restaurants need support. Until health regulations allow dining rooms to reopen, you may want to support these establishments by getting a meal to go. Here’s a list of suggestions for downtown restaurants offering take-out.

For other suggestions, consult the general list of open restaurants that offer a take-out menu. If you’re craving a particular dish (burger, dumplings, sushi, pizza…), we recommend consulting our other lists of good take-out places, specifically designed to give you ideas in the particular context of the pandemic. It’s always great to discover your neighbourhood and the best it has to offer.
