Well, the bad news is that it doesn’t look like dine-in service will be returning to BC restaurants any time soon.

The good news is that the @westendbia is one of a number of local BIAs stepping up and chipping in to help out by teaming up with participating restaurants for its WEAre Take Out Wednesdays buy-some-takeout-get-some-GCs support campaign.

Here’s the deal: on the next two Wednesdays in April (April 21 and 28) place a take-out order of $20 or more from participating restaurants in the West End of Vancouver and receive a $10 gift certificate to use at the same restaurant at a later date.

Wanna sweeten the deal? Spend $30 or more and get a $15 gift card!

Here are just a few of the participating restaurants:

@beetboxveg

@discocheetahyvr

@mdgdenman

@dorogc

@peakedpies

@kosoo_restaurant

@ofraskitchen

@nookwestend

Find the full restaurant list and more details via the link in the @westendbia bio and make the next two #WEAre Take Out Wednesdays in your calendar!

Shout out to our pals at @vanmag_com and their latest listicle ‘20+ Vancouver Restaurants That Don’t Have Patios’ that highlights a number of local spots that need some extra love now more than ever.

With the current restrictions on dine-in now expected to be extended well into May, there’s never been a more critical time to show your support for these great spots that are offering take-out and delivery in the absence of having a patio where they can host regulars.

Some of those spots include:

@savio_volpe

@askforluigi

@laquerciakitchen

@baobei1

@dinestydumpling

@toshisushivan

@pizzacomingsoon

@kissatanto

@eatheritage
