FAB Food & Wine: 8 Restaurants Sure to Impress Your Valentine

Valentine’s Day is only 6 days away! Don’t panic… breath, that’s what I’m here for. Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to spend some quality time with the special person in your life. A time to cozy up. A time to indulge.  A time to spoil, and a time where PDA (public display of affection) is acceptable.

My favourite activity on Valentine’s Day is dining out! Everyone knows how much I appreciate the culinary arts and Valentine’s Day menus never cease to impress my taste-buds. Most restaurants offer special drink and dinner menus to evoke those sensual senses.


Here are my 8 recommendations for Valentine’s Day Dinner

1. River Café- savour the flavours of the halibut.

FAB Things to Do: to romanace your Valentine

1. A timeless piece of jewellery. Check out Calgary Jewellers as they have an array of classic pieces for your sweetheart.
2. Sweeten up your Valentine’s Day. Check out Bernard Callebaut for some mouth clenching sweetness.
3. Romantic and mood setting. Bring the moment to the spirit of Valentine’s by gazing into one another eyes at the River Cafe. This restaurant, nestled in Princes Island Park, is a for sure done deal with your loved one. I highly recommend the halibut.
4. Ahhhhh. Enjoy a couples massage at Stillwater Spa with their world-class therapists. Remember to ask for a little extra time in the room to enjoy the private steam shower!
5. Stay in. Heat up the kitchen with a homemade meal, bottle of wine and candles. Pick ingredients rich in natural aphrodisiacs, such as seafood, garlic and my favorite – chocolate! Executive Chef of Catch & the Oyster Bar, Kyle Groves demonstrates how to cook the perfect scallop in this video.
