February
14 falls on a Tuesday this year, however, the restaurants in Montrose are ready
for you beginning that weekend. The Montrose restaurant scene offers three
blocks of family-owned trendy and ethnic choices. We’ve highlighted some, and
there are many others.
Your
journey begins for breakfast. Picture a romantic street in Paris and stop at Gio’s Baguettes and More. Owner/Operator
Az, prepares a Lilli latte to enjoy with your freshly baked croissant or an
indulgent French pastry. Seeking a hearty beautifully-plated breakfast? Black
Cow delivers.
For lunch consider Mexican at historic El Charro or family friendly Pepe’s. In the mood for sushi? Blue Fish or Sushi Manstar. Pizza, think Giuseppi’s or Big Mamas & Papas. Bar-B-Que? Seeking a relaxed, lingering lunch, visit Rest Farmhouse Inspired or The Tea Room for specialty salads and sandwiches. You can check out the gifts offered at both of these venues.
Make
reservations early for your Valentine’s romantic dinner. Off Ocean View, be
greeted by Fausto of Trattoria Allegria
or go to Portobellos or Star Café for fine Italian cuisine. Feeling
New American, Jim Collins’ Town Kitchen
and Grill or Armen’s Benitoite. Think Spain at Casa Córdoba, Mexico at Corey’s beloved Joselitos, Cajun seafood at Cracking Crab.

Don’t
forget romantic desserts. Head to Paradis
for their hand-crafted ice cream or Froyolife
for a yogurt sundae. Top off the evening
with a romantic glass of wine, craft beer or a cocktail at the Wine Cave, Thee Elbow Room or Basin 141.

After
lunch on Saturday meet our Charlie
Chaplin on the corner of Honolulu and Ocean View. Sweethearts receive your
complimentary rose from 1-5pm, and please take a photo.
Sunday
January 29th, a special at
the Harvest Market: explore the
innovative Toyota Mirai, a zero emissions fuel cell vehicle. Bring the
whole family to pot your own free mini succulent and engage in a virtual
reality experience exploring the Mirai’s hydrogen fuel cell technology. This
week our Market features the country/western sounds of guitarist Eli Locke,
fresh grapefruit, sweet potatoes, and the absolute last opportunity for
delicious grapes!
