This post was first published March 17, and last updated May 14. Updates will happen regularly.

It’s a tough time, not just for gastronomy. Small businesses are especially affected, and I want to do my best to support. So here’s a list of what local restaurants and food businesses are doing during these trying times. This is an editorial post, so I selected places to feature, but please add in the comments, whether you’re a customer or it’s your own business. I will add more, and keep this post updated. Let’s practice care and kindness.

Looking for delivery options? Search for the term “delivery” in this post. Please note, that delivery is only possible in a limited area.

Did my best to keep to the facts, if there’s something incorrect, please let me know.

NEWS

Status May 14: All bars remain closed, cafés and restaurants are allowed to do table service from May 15 from 06:00 to 22:00, tables and chairs need to be 1.5m apart, it’s suggested to record contact data of guests (kept for maximum of four weeks), staff needs to wear masks in the seating area, it’s recommended guests do the same.

Not all businesses are going to reopen table service with this new ruling, especially smaller places will not be able to provide enough space and safety for their staff to do so and have decided to stick with delivery / take-out only. Make sure you send them some love (and money).
