With Montrealers unable to watch the St. Patrick’s parade or take to the streets for the second year in a row, they’re stuck celebrating at home or weather permitting outdoors in small groups. Luckily, there are more than a few local restaurants and bars doing menus and goodies that should make for perfect pairings with a Guinness or two.

The only place to buy booze after 7:30 p.m. during Quebec’s curfew is via delivery from restaurants, and that’s a little bit of good news for the province’s battered restaurant industry. But restaurant owners say it’s a case of too little, too late and what they’d really like is to be able to sell spirits as well.
In mid-December, the Legault government passed Bill 72, which for the first time allows restaurants to sell beer and wine when using delivery services like UberEats and DoorDash. Before that, you could only sell beer and wine if you were doing the deliveries yourself. The restaurant still has to provide a prepared dish with the beer and wine, but now it doesn’t have to be a full meal.
With thousands of Canadian businesses permanently closing because of the pandemic, many people are out of work and struggling to figure out how to make a career change.
MONTREAL A back-and-forth between Quebec opposition parties in the National Assembly and the province s director of public health Horacio Arruda has left bar and restaurant owners fuming. It s shocking, said Burgundy Lion co-owner Paul Desbaillets. Desbaillets is referring to an exchange between Arruda and Parti Quebecois parliamentary leader Pascale Berube Wednesday when Arruda answered a question about which health recommendations were not followed by Francois Legault s CAQ government in response to the second wave of the novel coronavirus. “Can you give us an example of a recommendation you made that was not followed at all?” asked Berube. “On the issue of certain workplace environments, especially museums or restaurants, we recommended that they could potentially remain open,” Arruda replied.
