Treat your Valentine to dinner at @The_Teahouse via @hummingbird604

I love the whole Sequoia group of restaurants, having had in the past dinner at The Teahouse and Seasons in the Park. You may remember that Seasons in the Park partnered with me along with The Arts Club in December to give away a Christmas holiday package. Well, this time The Teahouse (also part of the Sequoia Group) is partnering with me to help you treat your loved one (or a friend) to Valentine’s Day dinner.

valentine's day menuI am giving away a $100 gift certificate card to a lucky reader for dinner (the Valentine’s Menu is linked and you can make reservations here – the price is superb, $45 per person excluded of tax and gratuities). To enter my giveaway, the first mode of entry will be a comment on this post, telling me what is your favorite romantic spot in Vancouver (or elsewhere if you live outside Vancouver but within the Lower Mainland). For me, there’s a certain element of romanticism that comes with sitting on the beach, and in Stanley Park it would be the seawall, I think.

Walking along the south side of False Creek seawall at dusk… Leg in Boot Square and past the Olympic Village… it tends to be quieter but you have the most spectacular view towards the opposite shore… the city, lights, architecture and mountains…

Stanley Park at night – looking at the Lions Gate bridge.

Vanier Park in the summer. Especially when you can hear Bard on the Beach in the background and it warm enough to sit there without a coat. <3

AndyFebruary 5th, 2011 at 5:39 pm

My fave is Prospect Point which is conveniently close to the Teahouse.

@pelham456

DebFebruary 5th, 2011 at 7:08 pm

my favourite spot is Spanish Banks @debd1960

JoFebruary 5th, 2011 at 10:17 pm

This is going to sound pretty obvious, but my favorite romantic spot is the Teahouse. My husband and I had our wedding lunch there two and a half years ago. We’d love to visit there again for Valentines!

JaneFebruary 6th, 2011 at 1:25 pm

I think my favorite is either Seasons in the Park or Top of Vancouver Revolving. Both of them have superb view!

Lynn LFebruary 6th, 2011 at 2:09 pm

There are so many romantic spots in metro Vancouver – l love being near the water on a sunny evening with my hubby – Valentines day is our anniversary so going out for a special dinner would be divine.

Audrey YenFebruary 6th, 2011 at 2:39 pm

I’m awfully bias since my favourite romantic spot has everything to do with the night and who I was with, but it would have to be the whole street in the Gastown area. The lights, ambiance and general decor make it somewhere wonderful and romantic to walk down with your special other.

WALKING THE SEAWALL AT STANLEY PARK IS GREAT,and the Lupo Restaurant and Vinoteca on Hamilton Street downtown is very romantic tweeted @roswello

KelliFebruary 6th, 2011 at 8:46 pm

hmmmm…too hard to pick one best spot…end of runway at YVR, Cypress Lookout, 9 o’clock gun when it goes off, Ambleside park, the Seawall, QE park…

CharlotteFebruary 7th, 2011 at 11:49 am

I love walking Ambleside at sunset. Best sunsets ever – totally romantic and totally west coast.

@char_alot

SionedFebruary 7th, 2011 at 11:52 am

It would definately have to be Grouse Mountain- the view of Vancouver during the sunset is amazing and very romantic. Love it!

JenniferFebruary 7th, 2011 at 12:11 pm

I would love to win this to surprise my husband Manuel. One of my favorite romantic spots is walking along the seawall. ๐Ÿ™‚

I also posted on twitter (@jen2886)

Dee cheungFebruary 7th, 2011 at 12:16 pm

My favourite spot is right between the province building and waterfront station downtown where you can enjoy the view of the north shore mountains, the five sails and the docks. Beautiful!

KymFebruary 7th, 2011 at 12:29 pm

You might’ve already seen my tweet (@herrohachi) about how The Teahouse was where my fiance and i had brunch right before he proposed and it would be so awesome to go back there! So of course, i’d have to say that my fave romantic spot would be anywhere at Stanley Park. I also love Steveston Village… really anywhere that has views of the water ๐Ÿ™‚

KathyFebruary 7th, 2011 at 1:42 pm

One of my favorite romantic spots is along the Seawalk in West Vancouver and watching the sunset there. I also love walking along the seawall in Stanley Park and Kits Beach in the summertime.

@kathygko

lauraFebruary 7th, 2011 at 3:52 pm

My favorite spot is 3rd beach in Stanley Park.. Can’t wait for a summer sunset sitting on a beached log ๐Ÿ™‚

@moldster

BethFebruary 7th, 2011 at 6:15 pm

Any of our amazing beaches, at sunset. And you know I’m @Beth77!

XingFebruary 7th, 2011 at 8:47 pm

Granville Island is a great place. That is where I love to take my girlfriend all the time.

Brie TsoukalasFebruary 7th, 2011 at 9:55 pm

Strolling along the gradens at Deer Lake Park in Burnaby. We were married there and it will always be a romatic place for me.

IanFebruary 8th, 2011 at 12:14 am

@IanYeung

Romantic Spot would be strolling along the boardwalk in Steveston!

StevenFebruary 8th, 2011 at 12:15 am

Definetely sitting side by side on the dock with our toes dipped in the water at White Rock

GraceFebruary 8th, 2011 at 12:15 am

At the top of the spinning restaurant! ๐Ÿ™‚

LindaFebruary 8th, 2011 at 5:11 am

It’s got to be the White Rock pier.

JuliaFebruary 8th, 2011 at 1:18 pm

Samurai Sushi at 41st and Cambie is my favourite spot to take my husband for a ‘romantic’ treat (We don’t get out much as we have a 10 month old at home). They have fresh, massive sushi rolls, impeccable service and great hours.

BrendaFebruary 8th, 2011 at 2:07 pm

My favourite romantic spot is anywhere near the water, I love the Sylvia Hotel!

BonnieFebruary 8th, 2011 at 6:38 pm

Queen Elizabeth Park is my favourite romantic place. Couples love going there for wedding photos, so I think it’s pretty romantic.

Romantic spot – in front of the fireplace at Bacchus Lounge at the Wedgewood Hotel. Dark and cozy. @elisacheng

MaryFebruary 9th, 2011 at 7:35 pm

We’re so lucky to have so many romantic spots to choose from. My favourite is the garden at Queen Elizabeth Park.

pkFebruary 9th, 2011 at 9:52 pm

Vancouver vancouver, so many places to choose from. I’d go with Granville island in the park facing False creek.

Jon PaulFebruary 9th, 2011 at 10:28 pm

A walk on the seawall anywhere on a sunny day – I proposed to my wife there and it was as good as it gets! @jpjanze

JanetFebruary 9th, 2011 at 10:47 pm

Steveston dock in Richmond is a very romantic spot!

AngelFebruary 9th, 2011 at 11:14 pm

My favorite romantic spot would be near the sea! The beach at Steveston is perfect.

mandaFebruary 10th, 2011 at 9:46 am

My favorite spot is along the seawall in Stanley Park.

CathyFebruary 10th, 2011 at 11:28 am

Elaine DaviesJanuary 27th, 2012 at 11:47 pm

I have very fond memories of the Teahouse restaurant. It was the very first restaurant my husband of 30 + years took me to for Valentines day.
So glad it’s still there!
