There, the wine list consists of private imports coming almost entirely from reasoned, organic or natural agriculture. Festive wines and tasty small plates to share on Valentine’s Day with your loved one, the perfect plan!
Marcus
La crème de la crop, Marcus, the splendid restaurant of the Four Seasons Hotel Montreal, is a definite yes for Valentine’s Day. In addition to being the newest downtown hot spot, we eat extremely well at Marcus and the decor is an absolute showstopper. The chef, Marcus Samuelsson, originally from Brooklyn, was the youngest person to ever receive a three-star review from The New York Times. If you want to celebrate in style and without sparing any expenses, you should definitely choose Marcus at the Four Seasons for Valentine’s Day. Because, it is a restaurant of great occasion… and love, is, well, a great occasion indeed.
tbsp
W Hotel Montreal has been going through a lot of changes these past years : redesigned rooms, design open-air lobby, a new dark and sexy lobby bar and a signature restaurant that (in our opinion) finally fits the concept and ambiance of the W Brand. Tbsp (for tablespoon) offers a trendy decor by sidlee architecture and a market-fresh-with-an-Italian-twist menu by chef Joris Larigaldie. For Valentine’s Day, experience a special 3-course, 3-sharing dishes menu at 65$ per person (90$ with the wine pairing). The chef had this idea while creating a dish only composed of 3 ingredients, he then declined that dish into 3 sharing plates. 3 x 3 = 9 dishes to enjoy with your love one on VDay!
