Dining on Valentine’s Day in the Ville

Showing love to that special someone, can’t be contained to one day a year. However, for those who want to add a little something, something to an otherwise typical Saturday night, which just so happens to fall on Feb. 14, AKA Valentine’s Day, be sure to check out what Streetsville has to offer at some of its finer establishments.

Several eateries throughout the village have come up with menus ­­intended to coax the flames of passion between lovers. You’ll find meals with king oysters, considered No. 2 on the Top 10 list of foods primed to flip your switch into sexy mode, Halibut, with its plethora of omega-3 fatty acids; keeping hormone production at its peak... and lets not forget red wine. It’s a timeless classic, which relaxes you faster than a neck rub and helps boost blood flow.

Interesting... besides all that, you’ll find some of the best food in Mississauga.
