Special take-out menus for Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and it’s time to think about how to celebrate it! After another challenging year, it’s time to take a break and enjoy a little sweetness with a lover or a friend. If limited capacity prevents you from reserving a table in your favourite restaurant, you can still order a take-out meal to live the restaurant experience in the comfort of your home.
Several restaurants across the city are offering take-out menus specially developed for Valentine’s Day. Whether you’re in the mood for sushi, gourmet dishes, or fresh pasta, there’s something for everyone.
For those who will take advantage of the occasion to treat themselves in a restaurant, we have put together a list of addresses that offer special Valentine’s Day menus, as well as one for brunch offerings on the day of love.
Provisions Bar à Vin
Boucherie Bar à vin Provisions offers a menu for two at $140. The elements of the meal come with cards that make it easy to assemble the dishes at home. It’s also possible to pair the offering with a food and wine pairing (two bottles) for an additional $100. On the menu: beef tartare, burrata, lobster, osso bucco, and chocolate mousse!
