Valentine\u2019s Day is this Sunday! So I\u2019m going to share an itinerary for my idea of a perfect day.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Morning:<\/h3>\n

Weekends are the perfect time for brunch. There\u2019s an embarrassment of riches available whether you feel like picking up or having your meal delivered: Pauline Bistro, Juneberry, Promenade Caf\u00e9, Stella\u2019s au CCFM, etc. La Belle Baguette is also offering a salty and sweet brunch special this weekend, available by telephone pre-order!<\/p>\n

Afternoon:<\/h3>\n

After a hearty brunch, I headed outside bundled in countless layers of clothes in search of snow sculptures!<\/p>\n

I used the Festival du Voyageur\u2019s\u00a0online map<\/a>\u00a0to lead the way, starting at Provencher Blvd, going all the way to Norwood. I had a lot of fun searching for sculptures, it felt like one big treasure hunt where every sculpture was even more impressive than the last! I think my favourite was the bears on Barrington in St. Vital, what\u2019s yours?<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Between sculptures, I recommend taking a break at\u00a0Constance Popp<\/a>. The shop will be welcoming florist In Faux Bloom whose arrangements will no doubt serve as inspiration while you shop for Valentine\u2019s Day chocolates.<\/p>\n

Evening:<\/h3>\n

After such a nice walk, it\u2019s time for a picture-perfect break on the river bank to watch the sunset over the Esplanade Riel.<\/p>\n

Back at home, it\u2019s time to eat! Valentine\u2019s Day means a special meal, like one from the\u00a0Promenade Caf\u00e9<\/a>. On their website, the restaurant offers a Valentine\u2019s Day dinner for two with two meal options (vegetarian or not), each including an entr\u00e9e, salad course, side dish, and dessert, all oven-ready. Another option is\u00a0Resto Gare<\/a>\u00a0whose menu offers a choice of meat or seafood, both of which are equally delicious.<\/p>\n

And of course, what better musical accompaniment while you enjoy your meal than the Festival du Voyageur! No less than five concerts are lined up for the night of February 14th: Andrina Turenne, Gen & Tonic, FOWLER, Dr. Henry Band, and Sala.\u00a0The music starts for free online at 8:00 p.m.!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
