We’re coming up on a full year in quarantine, Valentine’s Day is coming up, and it looks like we will still be in lockdown on February 14th. What can be done?
Well, fortunately, we can still enjoy a special Valentine’s day with delicious local food and dessert, and treat our loved ones to something special.
This year, more than ever, it’s important to support local businesses. Luckily, there are a wide variety of restaurants offering delicious meals for take-out and curbside pickup, bakeries and chocolate shops creating sweet treats, flower and gift shops across Oakville and Burlington that can ensure you still enjoy the perfect Valentine’s night in.
We have rounded up a selection of our top local picks for food and gift ideas for your significant other, that will help you craft a memorable date night.
