Dine Out Vancouver 2011: Seasons in QE Park & The Teahouse at Stanley Park
byDine Out Vancouver 2011 kicks off in exactly one week offering prix-fixe, 3-course menus at over a hundred restaurants around Vancouver. For $18, $28, or $38 you can sip, sample, and savour selections at your favourite establishments, or explore something new. As a warm-up for the event, that only lasts until February 6th, I have a special preview offer courtesy of two participating restaurants:
Seasons in QE Park
Website, Twitter, My Post
Dine out offering: $28
Appetizer: Seafood Chowder or Winter Greens Salad
Main: Prosciutto Wrapped Free Range Chicken or Grilled Steelhead Salmon or Wild Mushroom Ravioli
Dessert: Double Belgian Chocolate Truffle & Fudge Cake
The Teahouse in Stanley Park
Website, Twitter, My Post
Dine out offering: $28
Appetizer: Pickled Beet Salad or Carrot Soup or Teahouse Stuffed Mushrooms
Main: Duck Leg Confit or BC Salmon or Spaghetti Bolognese
Dessert: Decadent Petit Fours
I have been fortunate to dine at each of these establishments which have some of the best (and most romantic) atmospheres in the city. From being nestled amongst giant red cedars at The Teahouse in Stanley Park, to having a panoramic view of the glass towers of downtown and their snow-capped mountain backdrop at Seasons.
If you would like to check out these two restaurants for yourself this spring or summer, I have two $100 gift cards (one for each) to give away. Here’s how you can enter to win:
I will draw one winner at random from all entries at 9:00am on Monday, January 24th, 2011.
Fien print: The gift cards will not be valid for the Dine Out menu, January 24 – February 6, 2011.
Update The winner is Donna (@dengshot on Twitter) – have a fabulous meal at each location!

I’d really love to visit Seasons, but either would be great. I’ve been to the Teahouse before, but haven’t managed to make it to seasons even though it’s so close to home.
I’ve never been to the Teahouse but have heard it’s fabulous – that’s my choice!
I’d love to visit both restaurants! I’ve never been to either before. I heard the view at Seasons is amazing though!
Hi there,
I’ve just started following you recently on Twitter and Facebook. Your articles are very informative and worthwhile. I’d love to check out these two places. Thanks very much and have a great day.
Cheers,
Jeff

I’ve wanted to go to the Teahouse for SO long, it is high up on my to-do list. My grandmother remembers going there years and years ago with my grandfather, and I think it would be lovely to take her back.
Seasons is also such an amazing restaurant, and seem to always have great veggie options. I appreciate the fact they included veggie options on their Dine Out menu – not too many places do that. Kudos to them!
I would love to go back to Seasons – we had our wedding reception there last Sept!
I haven’t been to either, so I’d love this! Dining with the lovely spring blossoms to look at would be perfect.
Teahouse stuffed mushrooms are fabulous!
Ah they both have such delicious menus! I would like to try them both!

Seasons for me!
I had the most romantic dinner at The Teahouse and my first hospitality job was at the restaurant in QE Park (I think it was the Quarry House back in the day).
Would really love to try both of these restaurants after hearing much about them, but wouldn’t really be able to afford it normally.
Oh yes please! I’d love to ditch the kids for a lovely, romantic dinner with my man!

I’d love to do either / both, but mostly the Teahouse. I have a faint memory from there quite a few years ago with my parents and their friend who came to visit from England. I only remember that we were out on the patio and that it was a beautiful day and that my parents were drinking white wine, but I wish I remembered a thing or two about the food! I’d love to revisit it.

Both would be lovely but someone The Teahouse is a Vancouver Moment… especially if there is a sunset.
Both.
Always a great place for a meal and great views and I appreciate their wine prices aren’t outrageous. I am particular to the beauty of Stanley Park.

I’d go to Teahouse first since I haven’t been there since high school. But both are good!

I have been to The Teahouse once years ago for a friend’s wedding, the food was fantastic and the atmosphere was very romantic! I would love a chance to take my sweetheart there for a romantic dinner.

I’m a big fan of the Teahouse!
Seasons is great – but either would be wonderful!

Wow! Amazing giveaway. I love Seasons! I would love to visit both Seasons and the Teahouse.

I’d like to try Stanley Park Teahouse. I’ve never been but I know the view around Stanley Park in the summer would be breathtaking.

I have such wonderful memories from visiting both of these restaurants. It would be hard to pick a favourite.
i would love to visit seasons in the park! i always see it when i take the dog for a walk but i have never made it in.
The Teahouse in Stanley Park for sure!
Would love to enjoy Seasons in the Park. Love QE Park!
Both restaurants sound fantastic, would love to try both.
I haven’t been to either! They sound scrumptious.
I’ve been to Seasons and loved it so I assume Teahouse would be just as good!
I’ve always wanted to try Seasons
I’ve always wanted to try Seasons. I’ve enjoyed the park on numerous occasions and always wondered how fabulous the window seats were.
I have been to both and they are great. Would love to take our out-of-town guests to the Tea House.
either would be great! 🙂
I choose both! They both look so amazing!
I would like to go to both as I have not been to either of them
I would goto both!
Obviously, I’d love to go to both, but if I had to choose, I’d choose the Teahouse. I’ve never been to either!
Seasons! The prosciutto wrapped free range chicken sounds delicious!
Naturally I’d take both but probably Seasons as first choice.
would love to check out seasons at QE
Both the Seasons at QE & the Teahouse sound good. I like the sounds of the duck and the wild mushroom ravioli!
I would love to try either of the venues. I have not visited any of them yet but they are definitely on my to-do list.
Both
Dine out is such fabulous idea for Vancouver restaurants.
i would love to win!
Seasons!
Both!
I’ve never been to either so I’d love to try both!
Seasons is such a special place for me. Though I’ve lived in Vancouver forever, I hadn’t been there until my first “big” date with my boyfriend in 2006.
Fast forward two years and we were looking for a place for a wedding reception. It was an easy choice. The food and service were fantastic and the wedding cake they made us was absolutely to die for. My biggest regret was that I only had one piece.
Seasons is a place we go to celebrate — new jobs, first homes, our engagement. But now that we live nearby we often walk over later in the evening and sit on the patio, watch the city, drink a glass of wine and talk about life.
Even without winning, we’re lucky to have Seasons. I guess if we got a free dinner — we’d find something special to celebrate.
My mouth is watering after reading the menus and I would love to go to both the Teahouse and Seasons.
I’d love to go to Seasons! Thanks for the wonderful giveaways.
I haven’t been to either restaurants, but would love to go to Seasons. The Teahose sounds nice too.
Hmmm… a tea party at the Teahouse sounds like fun!
Probably Seasons, but they both sound great!
Both – I have been to the Teahouse (great) and would like to try Seasons.
Both please.
I’ve always wanted to visit Seasons. I hear it’s got a nice view. 🙂
I hear the teahouse is great! I’ve been to Seasons and loved it.
I would love to check out the view at Seasons!
I would love to surprise my guy friend by taking him to Seasons!
i would love to visit either the teahouse or seasons!!
Would love to visit either place in my favorite setting Stanley Park–
Dinner at the teahouse…a fabulous view followed by a walk on the seawall. Perfect!
Both would be great!
I think I would like to visit seasons as I’ve already been to the tea house. But either or would make for a great date!
Seasons. This would be a great way to cap off a day of biking/walking around the Sea Wall.
The Teahouse would be sublime!
Either – I love Seasons and I’ve never been to Teahouse
Seasons in the park as the view is to die for, and the meals are so delish…we went there for our staff xmas party though, so I should probably want to try the Teahouse as I’ve never been!
I’d love to enjoy an evening at the Teahouse as I’ve some great memories from there in the past
This is great! I’d really love to visit both as I’ve never been to either one.
I love both restaurants but there is something particularly special about the Teahouse. Being inside their cozy rooms and looking out at the stark beauty of Stanley Park is quite a way to spend an evening
Either one would be fab! I’ve been to Seasons for a wedding, but not the Teahouse.
I would love to go to either!
I would spend it at Seasons in the Park since it is such a romantic restaurant and it is in the Queen Elizabeth Gardens setting which is beautiful no matter what the season. I have been to Seasons many times and I have great memories of all the lunches and dinners I have had there. It has a special spot with me.
I would like to visit both Seasons and The Teahouse.
I would love to visit them both. LOL
I’ve never been to either restaurant, so would be awesome if I can go to both!
Both restaurants sound great…want to try both.
I’d love to try both!!! @choonkitng

I would love to visit both restaurants!
I would love to dine out at seasons, I am pro-oceanwise and often support restaurants because of their oceanwise status, have never been to either restaurant an would love a free meal at either one. Thanks!
I would love to go to both =)
I have very fond memories of both Teahouse and Seasons In the Park, whenever my parents would visit, they were the 2 restaurants I would take them for dinner. I havent been back since the last dinner at Seasons before my father passed away. Many memories of both….would love to visit both again soon
Visited Seasons about a month ago, it was great, not too expensive either (as a student, that means a lot!), definitely will visit again.
Will be going to Teahouse for this years dineout, hopefully it will as pleasant as my experience with Seasons!
I would like to visit Seasons or The Teahouse!
Being new to Vancouver, I am looking for great new food experiences. I would love to visit the Teahouse!

Lunch with a view! Who wouldn’t love that? But how do you pick a winner randomly?

I would love to check out these places!
I would love to take advantage of $100 GC at either of these amazing spots, as I have never been to either one of them. Thanks!
I have never been to either so would be happy with whichever I was to win.
