Winterlust by H Tasting Lounge

H Tasting Lounge is proud to announce that Winterlust will be returning this season! The first of its kind in the city, this dining experience offers reprieve from the chilly weather, with cozy, stylishly outfitted ‘snow globes’ that allow patrons to soak in the magnetic energy of the season. Returning on Thursday, November 12, this coveted al fresco dining experience brings the festive magic to life in the heart of Coal Harbour.

Savour a line-up of warming libations alongside irresistible seasonally-influenced dishes, including: steak frites; seafood risotto; sablefish; smoked beef pappardelle, and more. Let enchanting décor and thoughtful details illuminate your experience while keeping the festive magic alive. Each snow globe is thoughtfully stocked with cozy enhancements, like plush blankets and throw pillows (that are freshly replenished between seatings).

Tickets are $200, and the fee taken will be applied to the $200 minimum food and beverage spend requirement. To book an experience, visit Tock.
