THE LIST: Restaurant services during COVID-19 emergency

March 28, 2020
Schnitzels European Flavours

The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted major changes to daily life, with public health officials urging public distancing in order to slow the spread of the virus. Many local restaurants are responding to the crisis by focusing on take out and delivery services.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford declared a state of emergency in the province in response to the escalating public health threat posed by COVID-19. Restaurants are permitted to remain open but will be limited to takeout, including drive-thru and delivery. Licensed restaurants are also allowed to sell wine, beer and liquor with food orders.

Health and safety has always been a key priority for the restaurant industry, and local establishments are doing their part to limit social interactions and keep consumers safe during this difficult time.

Take out or pick up

Many restaurants, if able to do so, are offering take out, drive-thru and pick up service.  Companies are encouraging payment by debit and/or credit cards and are and frequently sanitizing door handles and payment machines. Please remember to maintain a distance of about two metres between people.

Delivery

Many restaurants are also offering delivery service using either their own staff or third-party local delivery services. A small number of local restaurants are also using online services such as SkiptheDishes. Consumers should check with the establishment about accepted payment methods when placing their order.

Cornwall’s rich culinary scene is part of what makes our city so great. From casual fare and classic comfort foods to tastes from around the world – and of course, amazing pizza – Cornwall’s food scene has something for everyone.

For food lovers, it’s a perfect time to show support for our great food establishments – and even try something new!

Have you been waiting to try the amazing Caribbean offerings of The Spicy Pearl? How about a prepared meal from The Birchwood Cafe or some scratch cooking from Edward’s Bistro? Or maybe some tasty fish and chips from Captain George’s? Maybe it’s time to finally try the famed Tour of Rome pizza from Schnitzels European Flavours? The options are endless.

During these trying times, Cornwall’s food entrepreneurs have been showcasing their ability to adapt and offer their products in different ways. Mi Cocina has taken to doing home deliveries of their amazing salsas. Along with their amazing burgers, Truffles Burger Bar has been delivering bountiful produce baskets, with some even being donated to local charities. The trendy Sip & Scoop made headlines for their offer of free waffles and bubble tea for doctors, nurses and health care workers on the front line of the crisis.

Like always, food is bringing our community together, even in a time when we need to be apart.
