Board games and hot chocolate are a great combination, so why not swing by Hexagon Cafe this month during YYC Hot Chocolate Fest. The board game café’s 2025 entry is a hot chocolate inspired by the Mississippi Mud Pie dessert. From the butterscotch-infused hot chocolate, to the chocolate pudding rim and cocoa caramel whipped cream, to the pecan brownie on top, this promises to be a decadent and memorable treat. Each time the drink is purchased during YYC Hot Chocolate Fest, which runs from February 1 to 28, $1 will go to Calgary Meals on Wheels.

Made by Marcus’ annual Valentine’s Day ice cream cake lives up to the hype. This heart-shaped treat is a great dessert option to enjoy at home on or around Valentine’s Day with its lychee ice cream, raspberry rose geleé, passion fruit mousse and meringue base, all enveloped in a bright red glaze.

Mercato celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, so there’s no better time to re-visit the Italian restaurant’s Mission location where the culinary magic all started. Try a new dish like the agnello, which sees balsamic glazed Alberta lamb sirloin take centre stage along with squash cream, pistachio mint gremolata and cippolini onions. And on your way out, check out the market area for a bite to bring home.

The only thing better than one espresso martini is two (or three). During the month of February, Olea is answering that call with an espresso martini flight for two. The restaurant takes the popular cocktail up a notch with three unique flavours: Ferrero Rocher, tiramisu and raspberry. The espresso martinis are also available individually if you don’t want a full flight.
