#BlackLivesMatter, always. Never has there been a more important time to support black-owned restaurants and businesses in Quebec, Canada, and around the globe. Racism has, and continues to, plague our society. Nobody should be afraid to simply exist. We cannot let it continue. We need to stand up, speak up, and provide support wherever we can.
One of the ways we are supporting black communities here in Quebec is by dining at Black-owned restaurants and encouraging our readers to do the same. We’ve started with restaurants in Montreal and Quebec City, but this is just the beginning, we will be adding restaurants located throughout the province of Quebec.
Have we missed a restaurant? Please let us know below.
