Dining in Park Style on Valentine's Day

February 9, 2004 - Just as in real estate, planning that special Valentine's dinner can depend on location, location, location. On this upcoming romantic weekend devoted to lovers and mates, take extra pains in finding that perfect setting for your "tête à tête" while breaking bread. Where could be more beautiful than in one of the several Park Board leased restaurants? Besides offering an excellent variety of food at competitive prices, Vancouver's own spectacular parks complete the scenery with verdant backdrops or ocean and bay views.

Valentine's Day will be celebrated at Stanley Park's Tea House Restaurant at Ferguson Point in style throughout the upcoming weekend with a special a la carte menu and possibility of pre-arranged roses delivered table-side to your sweetheart. The Fish House Restaurant, also in Vancouver's premier park, will have a deluxe dinner for two on tap stretching from Friday through Sunday and so too will the newly opened Mill Marine Bistro strategically located overlooking Coal Harbour at Harbour Green Park. Vancouver's beautiful VanDusen Botanical Garden boasts the Shaughnessy Restaurant which will post a prix fixe menu of two elegant courses for discerning couples.

Of course reservations are strongly suggested and all park restaurants are listed below for your information and future reference. Park dining is especially delightful for special occasions and a wonderful way to please the palate while showing off our beautiful city to out of towners. A major benefit for Vancouver residents is that a percentage of these dining revenues goes to the betterment of the city's parks and recreation system - one of the best in the world!
