While not all restaurants and their diners are happy that the Curfew has not been lifted, they are definitely happy that the alcohol sale ban has been lifted as of Tuesday 18 August.  A host of restaurants at all Levels have announced their reopening for Sit-Down, being restaurants that only offered a Food Delivery and Collection Service, or Restaurants that remained closed since the start of Lockdown on 27 March. However not all restaurants are reopening, some still waiting for the international tourists to arrive back.

Below is a list of restaurants that have announced their first Sit-Down service since the start of Lockdown, followed by the List that have been operating a Sit-Down Service since the start of Advanced Level 3 on 29 June.

 

PLEASE NOTE: it is not cool to copy and paste my full or a part of my lists of Restaurants below without my permission or credit to me! You are welcome to share my Blogpost as a whole.
