Love Grows
Why Dallas Farmers Market is your new favorite date night destination
Romance is in the air, along with the aroma of a great meal. Whether you're locking down your Valentine's Day dinner plans or looking for a way to shake up date night, Dallas Farmers Market has delicious options for February and throughout the year.
If a special dinner on February 14 is a must for you and your sweetie, the menu is ready for a multi-course meal from Rex's Seafood, Scardello, and Stocks & Bondy. Start with cheese and sparkling wine, then onto a salad, Italian sausage soup, surf and turf, and strawberry cake. Wine pairings are included with each course, and tickets are $75 a person.
Mudhen Meat and Greens is planning a Vegan Valentines Pairdine, which for $55 a person gets you four meatless courses and beer pairings from Real Ale Brewing (wine is available to substitute upon request).
But perhaps you want a more intimate dinner at home, cooking for or with your one and only? Swing by Stocks & Bondy for steaks and sides to-go, and stock up on cheese, charcuterie, and wine from Scardello while you're there. It's everything you need for a meal made with love.
Dallas Farmers Market can also help keep the romance alive the other 364 days of the year with a seemingly endless array of foodie activities. Whether first date or fiftieth anniversary, you can plan a moveable feast through The Market.
Start with a pint from Noble Rey Brewing Co. and then on to pizza at Bellatrino, or make margarita toasts at Taqueria La Ventana before digging into one of their many taco and burrito choices. Cap off the date with coffee and dessert at Palmieri Cafe or stroll through the building with an ice cream sandwich from Coolhaus.
And there's always shopping the weekend markets together or going on Walkabout with a Chef, so you can bring home recipes and produce and make magic in the kitchen. They say the way to someone's heart is through their stomach, after all.
