Valentine’s Day is a time to romance and pursue passion. The Fairmont Royal York offers both, with an evening of delicious dining and a special Valentines Day Stay Over Rate of $99, from Wednesday, February 11 through Sunday, February 15, 2009.

For 80 years, The Fairmont Royal York hotel has wooed couples with its wealth of experience in romantic dining.

“The seductive quality of a thoughtfully prepared experience is what makes Valentine’s Day special,” says Fairmont Royal York’s Director of Food and Beverage, John Cordeaux.

The Fairmont Royal York’s EPIC Restaurant and Benihana’s Japanese Steakhouse are the perfect dining getaways for a prelude or an interlude on Valentine’s Day.

EPIC, located on the lobby level of The Fairmont Royal York, offers fine dining to both hotel guests and visitors who appreciate fine cuisine. EPIC’s Chef Ryan Gustafson’s focus on sustainable cuisine is highlighted on the menu through the use of local organic products and the restaurant’s Oceanwise membership.

Benihana’s Japanese Steakhouse, located on the Avenue’s level of The Fairmont Royal York, brings the best of teppanyaki-style culture and cuisine to the Fairmont Royal York with tabletop cooking methods that allow guests to be part of the cooking experience. Benihana’s highly skilled Teppan chefs present and prepare all entrées at a ‘hibachi’ table, where a fast-paced performance of chopping and juggling creates an exciting dining experience and conversation sparks.
