Ryú Sushi introduces a top-notch and safe take-out and delivery service: first we report on Peel Street

For the past few weeks, my family and I have gone through some major sushi withdrawal. So we were delighted to hear that Ryú Sushi (www.ryusushi.ca) had reopened its Peel and Westmount locations for take-out and delivery.

Ryú (Japanese for Dragon) is known throughout Montreal for its fresh ingredients and a unique philosophy of respect for the environment and one another. The place specializes in high-end sustainable sushi.

It was a tribute to Ted’s late father (named Petros)., who always wanted to have a Greek restaurant of his own.
