Looking for the ultimate romantic dining experience this Valentine’s Day? Prepare to be swept off your feet by Ellipsis. Tucked inside the stunning, Arthur Erickson-designed Waterfall Building in the Armoury District, this architectural gem is transforming its striking glass-and-concrete space into an intimate sanctuary for couples on February 13th and 14th.
With live music setting the mood and West Coast modernism as your backdrop, Ellipsis is offering much more than just dinner—they are serving up a moment suspended in time.
A Culinary Journey: The Taste of Love
Foodies, get ready to fall hard. The star of the evening is an exclusive 7-course tasting menu cleverly designed to take you and your partner through the different stages of romance.
Here is a sneak peek at the mouth-watering narrative you can expect:
- “Attraction” – A seductive start featuring a fresh Fanny Bay oyster accented with baijiu and decadent caviar.
- “Devotion” – A perfectly tender honey-glazed smoked duck breast, brightened by a luscious blood orange jus.
- “Obsession” – Prepare to crave this one long after the meal ends: a rich tajarin pasta tossed in brandy butter and generously topped with shaved black truffle.
- “Promise” – A sweet, lingering finish of rich chocolate mousse cake, balanced perfectly with sea salt and a vibrant black currant sorbet.
The Twist: “Unfinished Feelings” Drink Pairings
Love isn’t always perfectly sweet, and the optional beverage pairing playfully leans into the heart’s complexities. The “Unfinished Feelings” pairing matches your meal with curated wines and cocktails named after the more turbulent sides of romance. Sip on “Jealousy” (a striking Empress Gin cocktail), navigate “Uncertainty,” or pour a glass of “Regret” (a bold Nebbiolo) to add a layer of sophisticated, moody storytelling to your dining experience.
