Love Dining Out? Making Friends? Here’s the Club for You!

One of the things I love most about travel is the way a meal can stretch out for hours. Maybe that’s because the places I enjoy visiting most (France, Spain, islands in the Caribbean) have a very different relationship to mealtime than is typical here at home. Here we are often rushed, grabbing something to eat on the fly. Even when we do get out for a meal those phones are all too often not just at the table but in our hands fighting for our attention even when we are dining the company of those we love most. 

I don’t know too many people who anticipate with relish dining alone (I am such a person, but maybe that’s because I always have a book to read and a book I’m writing tucked into my bag so a few minutes alone at a table to which someone will bring food and drink is a delicious luxury….)

My point is, we are missing out by not sharing long, slow, leisurely meals together while enjoying the company of others and practicing the fine art of conversation. 

The Canmore Dinner Club is our answer to this unfortunate direction the culture of food and dining is taking in all too many places. 

How Does the Canmore Dinner Club Work?

Every couple of months a group of us - (some will already be friends, some will become new friends…) will get together in a different restaurant in Canmore. Expect chef’s tasting menus, sneak peaks at new menu items, and a chance to experience food and drink you might not necessarily try otherwise. 

Depending on the restaurant, there may be live music, or dancing, or jugs of margaritas. There may be board games or special desserts prepared just for us. Though we’ll usually be going out in the evening, I love brunch, so every now and then we’ll mix it up and go on a dining adventure during daylight hours. 

What Does it Cost?

There’s no cost to join - just like our Taste Canmore Facebook page and ask to join the Dining Club Group. It’s just that simple. We’ll approve you and keep you in the loop. 

Of course, eating out is more fun with friends, so if you know someone you think would enjoy eating out with the rest of us, invite them to join the Facebook group as well. 

It’s going to be fun! Let’s go out for dinner, shall we?
