While dining establishments have developed creative settings to attract customers for Valentine’s Day celebrations, gift shops are still facing the brunt of the coronavirus pandemic’s impact on businesses.
With the Guyana Tourism Authority recently approving over 40 restaurants for indoor dining, it gives persons who might be looking for a place to grab a bite or sit down to a dinner on Sunday, an option to enjoy. A number of restaurants have posted extras they have included to fit the occasion, some of which include regular dining as offered every day, and even dinner and a photo. Speaking with this newspaper, Mark Persaud, the manager at the Bistro Café and Bar at 176 Middle & Waterloo streets, Georgetown, said that the establishment will be offering a 40 per cent price reduction on indoor dining. Persaud said that the bar will be offering a special 30 per cent off on all rosé wines; these include Chaman Reserve Rosé, Montes Cherub Rosé, Bollinger Rosé Champagne, and Santa Margherita Sparkling Rosé. The offer extends to both dine-in or take-out. Persons can take advantage of this special offer from February 5 to 14. The manager added that because indoor dining now has a limited seating capacity, persons who prefer to dine indoors are advised to make their reservations early.
