Although restaurants have started to reopen as part of Phase Two, business is not quite back to normal yet. While you can now enjoy great local food on patios (Yay!), you can still support your local favourites by ordering takeout.
And the Valley Eats app has made ordering from local restaurants easier than ever! Valley Eats gives you options like delivery, pre-order and pick up right from your phone. Be sure to download the app to see what’s available. Valley Eats doesn’t have every local restaurant just yet, so if you don’t see what you’re looking for be sure to call the restaurant or pop in to order your take out directly – just be sure to follow proper social distancing measures!
Now that you’re starting to get hungry, you’re probably wondering where you should place your takeout order. Check out this list of seven awesome local places to try!
