WHY NOT

In the midst of a lockdown that is still hitting the restaurant world hard, a new initiative is making its way into the “Place aux Restos” in France. A project as simple as it is effective because it uses existing structures and places made available to restaurateurs, stands and stalls in the local markets to allow them to offer take-away food, in full compliance with the health protocol. Paris responded by offering more than 160 stands spread across various markets in the city. Many French municipalities have welcomed the initiative by promoting and organizing days of “open” markets for local restaurateurs. What can I say, it could also be a good idea for the restaurateurs of our country.
