Old Montreal Takeout & Delivery | Winter Edition – Staff Faves
There are Plenty of Old Montreal Takeout & Delivery options
We often don’t have time to cook – running an active online magazine, never mind our ‘day job’, and since our headquarters are in the Vieux Port, we are quite well acquainted with its takeout and delivery options.
One of the directors of Best Kept MTL manages to cook almost 3 times a day, but he’s a type-A personality machine with magical grocery and kitchen organizing skills (plus he went to chef school so he doesn’t count) … the rest of our creatives dabble with basic recipes.
We cook when we have time, or when we have guests, or just when we actually HAVE FOOD in the frigo lol. One of our writers lives on take-out and green tea, he is the most grocery-challenged and CAN’T EVEN! To add to that, we are all busy hustling, trying to survive so there isn’t the same time or motivation to cook for ourselves and others. Whether you live/work/hang in the hood, you know 3-meals-a-day is like NO-WAY.
Old Montreal has an abundance of Curbside Takeout & Delivery options. Around every historical grey and brownstone is a slew of restaurants and bars which were once crowded (31+ notable Montreal restaurants have sadly permanently closed, despite rental support and the CRB)…
Options like Uber Eats & Door Dash are so conveniently seductive, but please use them sparingly as they really slash into the profits, up to 30%! Instead, take a good walk in the fresh air and soak up some vitamin D (you still get it on grey days!), and follow some of our Old Montreal Curbside Takeout & Delivery tips:
