They say, when life throws you lemons, make lemonade. So, since we’re all still required to stay home, we’ve made some “lemonade” for you! To make the best out of our stay-at-home situation, we’ve lined up some really great takeaways for you to indulge in. And the good news is? Lots of restaurants and cafes have either made entire menus available for takeaway and local delivery or have devised clever drive-thru setups. Brilliant!
So, buy a delicious dinner for yourself to change things up or why not spoil someone special by ordering them a mouthwatering dessert? Or if you’re in a long distance relationship due to the Covid-19 situation, you can both order dinner and enjoy it over a good glass of wine. Maybe play some nice music and there you go… your own restaurant dinner à la Maison.
These guys are open for business and ready to pack some yummy food for you. Bon Appetit!
