As a member of the Markham & Richmond Hill community, we know how important it is to support our small businesses.

We know that more and more small businesses here in Toronto are being affected and to continue to support them as much as we can, we’ve compiled a list of 5 local businesses that you can support from home.

1. The 6 cafe & Restaurant

The 6 Cafe offers a delicious variety of Chinese food. They provide amazing value lunch combos and great value for dinner options as well. My personal favourite is their Eel Fried rice. There is many selections, give it a try!

Address: 8920 Woodbine Ave, Markham

2. Pho Time

Pho time publicly opened their business in March the same time Government implemented shutdowns to businesses and dining in the restaurants was no longer available. We had a chance to try pho time dine-in service before the COVID-19 hiatus and we enjoyed it very much, fantastic authentic Vietnamese cuisine, excellent atmosphere, comfortable seatings, and great service. Just because the dine-in option is temporarily not available, it does not mean you can't try their amazing food via take-out! Trust me their pho is legit. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed. 

Address: 9255 Woodbine Ave Unit 7A, Markham

3. Diana's Seafood

Who here misses going to oyster bars? We sure do! It doesn't mean you can't have oysters at home! Diana's doesn't only supply oysters but they also supply fresh fish, frozen seafood, lobsters, shellfish, groceries and more. They are now offering free delivery with a limited purchase.

Simply call 416.288.9286 to place your order.

4. Marathon Cafe

Marathon Cafe was awarded the best Hong Kong Milk Tea award, once you have tasted it, you will understand why.  But not just the tea is good, they also offer an amazing variety of delicious food. They also partnered with a lot of different delivery services such as Ubereats, Fantuan, Doordash. Other than Richmond Hill they have another location in Scarborough.
