12 Montreal Restaurants With Takeout So Damn Good You'll Miss Indoor Dining Slightly Less
Go-to spots for food that travels well.

But knowing which Montreal restaurants have the best take-out is even more important during a pandemic when restaurant dining rooms flip flop between being open and being closed.
