Which restaurants are open during the Coronavirus lockdown in Brussels
As you know, like other European capitals, Brussels went into lockdown on March 14, 2020. While this helped slow the spread of the epidemic, it also meant a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of many businesses. How could hairdressers, bars, and all non-essential shops survive despite the temporary closure? This was definitely not good news for our friends in the hospitality industry… From the moment the measure was implemented, restaurants and cafes in Brussels could no longer serve customers on their premises.
In this article, we'll tell you which restaurants remain open during the COVID-19 lockdown in Brussels. There's a trick! Delivery and takeout are still permitted in Brussels . Don't be misled; the restaurant's dining room is closed, and eating in is neither possible nor recommended. However, their kitchen is open! This means you can either pick up a takeout order or have food delivered in Brussels . Quite convenient during this lockdown and the rush on food at supermarkets.
One of the positive things during the coronavirus crisis is that many businesses and entrepreneurs have become very creative . This is the case with http://www.aide-aux-restaurateurs.be ! This initiative aims to support restaurants during this very difficult time. Behind this initiative are a Facebook group called Aide aux restaurateurs (Help for Restaurants), the Le Petit Futé travel guide, and the Deliveroo delivery platform.
On this web platform, the authors have drawn up a list of restaurants that keep their kitchen open (with delivery or take-out via external service providers or directly). This platform is fed directly by the restaurateurs themselves. Thus, consumers can find in the offer restaurants that remain open during the covid19 confinement in Brussels.
So you can help restaurants in your neighborhood during lockdown by ordering take-out, delivery.
Buy restaurant inventory during the coronavirus crisis
Some restaurant owners had a huge amount of food stock. A Facebook community was created for them. Through this community, restaurants that wish to do so can resell some of their food stock to prevent the temporary closure or anticipated reduction in business from being even more damaging to them.
Please note that home delivery is probably the best option. This is to comply with COVID-19 safety regulations and avoid infection.
Barely a foot in the Belgian capital, Pierre launched “InsideBrussels.be” more than 10 years ago, the idea is simple: “What to do? Where to go to eat or have a drink? “. Entrepreneur at heart, this is not his first project! Far from there. EatLocal.io; KingCard.be, Bricabrac.be … Like wine, with time the project improves!
Pierre does not hesitate to share his favorites and his best addresses of Brussels restaurants that he could recommend to you with his eyes closed.
