Where to celebrate Galentine's Day in Toronto this February

Feb 12 2020, 7:17 pm

What’s Galentine’s Day, you may ask?

The answer comes in the words of Leslie Knope: “Oh, it’s only the best day of the year.

While February 14 might be the day to celebrate romantic love, February 13 is the day to dedicate to your girl gang. Your squad. Your ladies.

And what better way to celebrate girl power than with fine food, great drinks and a high-vibe atmosphere? Round up your crew and head to one of these spots to ring in G-Day.

In this eatery’s main dining room, you can indulge in a four-course menu of South American-inspired dishes, along with special cocktails. And if you want an experience that mimics an escape from the city, head up to the spot’s all-weather patio, which is bathed in natural light and features bites and drinks that you 100% deserve to indulge in alongside your favourite ladies.

A couple of members of your crew on the vegan-train? No fear! Everyone will enjoy the mouthwatering bites at Rosalinda. Fresh kombucha, creative cocktails and tacos so good you won’t miss the meat make for an ideal dinner spot. Most of the plates are made for sharing… including the churros, served with warm chocolate banana caramel.

Whipped ricotta with roasted pears, pizza, pasta, albacore tuna, Miami-style ribs, rapini and sunchoke… There’s a good chance you’re not going to be able to decide what to order. But when you arrive with your ladies, you won’t have to choose. Order a selection and share between a group to get a taste of (almost) everything.
