There’s nothing quite like a fresh-from-the-grill restaurant meal. But with lockdowns occurring across the country, we’re stuck having our food delivered or scrambling to find exciting recipes to try at home. Thankfully, restaurants across Canada are offering DIY meal kits with fresh ingredients to transform your home into a world-class kitchen. It’s a great way to support local businesses while getting a high-end, at-home meal.

Montreal

Mise en Place

When legendary Montreal chef Danny Smiles set out to open a new restaurant in the city, he was hit with the unprecedented roadblock of the pandemic. He decided instead to launch a meal delivery service that blurs the lines between at-home cooking and restaurant cuisine.
