The best gift isn't always going to be something you wrap.
Hear us out: There's a reason people remember experiencing great meals years after they've happened. The way a server makes you feel welcome, the energy of a room humming with good conversation, the moment a dish arrives and you realize someone really cared about what they made. Montreal restaurants do this better than almost anywhere, and that kind of hospitality isn't something you can fake.
That’s why The Main is highlighting the digital gift cards available from the Montreal-based company TREATER, because they make gifting dining experiences and supporting local businesses easy.
