With Valentine鈥檚 Day just around the corner, OpenTable has announced its Canada鈥檚 100 Most Romantic Restaurants list for 2018, and with 14 restaurants on the list, B.C. is a great place to swoon over a good meal.
Of those 14 B.C. restaurants, three are found in the Okanagan, two on Vancouver Island and nine in B.C.鈥檚 Lower Mainland.
In fact, this year Vancouver was ranked as one of Canada鈥檚 top ten most romantic cities with six local restaurants featured including Seasons in the Park, The Teahouse Restaurant and Five Sails Restaurant.
The winning restaurants in the top 100 list span nine provinces with Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia and Quebec claiming the greatest number of honourees.
