Fine dining awaits you on Valentine’s Day at Table Food and Drink in Canmore, Alberta.

There are a lot of good reasons to make a point of taking your sweetheart out for dinner on Valentine’s Day. Life is busy, and it’s a good thing to slow down and make a point of spending some quality time together, just the two of you. 

A shared meal you don’t need to prepare (or clean up after) is a chance to reconnect, to delight all your senses with the tastes and scents of fine cooking, and indulge in a glass of wine during dinner and dessert after. 

I’d argue we should be having meals like this with our loved ones every night, but for most of us, that’s not so practical. One the other hand, putting off the dining out together experience until you have time means it may well never happen. 

Most restaurants offer something extra special to help make your evening out memorable. Here are a few suggestions. If you haven’t made your reservations yet, don’t wait any longer! Most restaurants in town will be fully booked by the time Friday rolls around. 

If you really want to splash out, consider a stay-cation and book yourself into one of the fine hotels in town. That way you can linger over your meal, have a little more wine, and not have to worry about driving home or making the bed in the morning.

In development since 2004, and officially introduced to the world in 2017, "Ruby Chocolate" will be on The Sensory's Valentine's Day menu as an optional second dessert!
