Hello Darlings, I am thrilled to introduce a Dinner Date giveaway! Not reserved for just couples, it is an evening of culinary indulgence at Spice Route — 499 King Street West, Toronto — to spend with the person you love. Perhaps you’re in need of romance, perhaps an evening of gossip with a best friend, or some quality time with your mother. I just hope that this giveaway makes someone’s day a little brighter!

Courtesy of Liberty Group, one lucky winner will receive a dinner date at the Asian Bistro Bar, Spice Route.
For you chance to win, just tell me who’s going to be your plus one for the evening?

As for my own Spice Route dinner date, I enjoyed a relaxing evening with E. With a soothing candle lit atmosphere, eclectic Asian décor and tranquil patio; Spice Route has a fun yet romantic setting with authentic Asian cuisine by executive chef, Winlai Wong. With a large menu of about fifty dishes made fresh in the kitchen, we sampled about ten of them!

I AM WEARING: Club Monaco Silk Blouse // Marc by Marc Jacobs Leather Skirt // See by Chloe Gondola Shearing Wedges // Michael Kors Watch

Our tasting adventures began with Wong’s signature Wasabi Crusted Shrimp and thinly sliced New York strip steak cooked on a hot rock. We then ventured into Cantonese Chow Main — my favourite Asian dish — Crispy Orange Beef, and Braised Mushroom and Snow Peas. All of the dishes were amazing. Although Crispy Orange Beef was too spicy for me, E loved it. Our dinner was complete with Cème Brule and Fried Banana. All of the portions are generously sized and are meant to be shared.
Specials
- Every Thursday Spice Route has Happy Buddha with $4 drinks and $5 martinis.
- Every Sunday is Lundin, where for $24 you receive an all you can eat feast.

I would of course go with my bf if I win. He have been my eating partner since we first met and since I’ve never been, would love to get teh opportunity to blog about it
Very cute!
I also had an opportunity to check out your blog
cute!
My dinner date will be my husband Michael. We just celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary!
That is wonderful, congratulations Angie!
My friends have been raving about Spice Route and I’d love to surprise my boyfriend since he is usually the one planning our dates!
That is very sweet of you
Id take my best friend Jenny. I haven’t seen her in months so we need to catch up and she always complains she never gets to do anything cool. And going out to a dinner you win is really cool. She’d love it. Girls night out!
Girls night out is always the best way to go about it…and winning something is pretty awesome.
I would definitely take my boyfriend, Justin. We are both foodies, but the expenses of living in the big city prevent us from going out to dinner as much as we would like. This would be an amazing treat.
Definitely can relate
I would bring my lovely boyfriend. This restaurant seems right up his alley!
It is a very chic and romantic setting, perfect for a date.
What a fun idea! I would take my bf Brandon. He is a foodie who can’t get enough of cooking shows but unfortunately we never get to go out and enjoy culinary wonders on our own. I would love to treat him!
That is so sweet of you
Just the type of atmosphere and dining I’d like to enjoy with my boyfriend, Terrance. We both love eating, especially when it comes to Asian meals (after all, we are asian!) The food definitely seems fun and something I’d like to dress up to and try
Thanks Marta!
Aney, I am a huge Asian good lover as well
Theirs is some of the best in the city along with Lee’s Restaurant.
It was my pleasure, I hope to bring more fun giveaway. There isn’t a better way for me to say thank you.
I would bring the boyfriend. Our 5 year is coming up!
Congratulations on such a milestone, Tara!

The boy and I have an anniversary coming up, which we celebrate yearly with loads of food. It would only be fitting to bring him as my date.
Fitting, indeed
Well, early congrats on the anniversary! How long have you been together?
This’ll be 8
Congrats that is quite a milestone….Wishing you two all the happiness in the world!

That is so sweet of you Chas
I’d love to take my boyfriend!
I am sure you two would enjoy it! It’s a wonderful date spot.
My “+1″ would be my fave dude, my husband and best friend, James! He’s been my main man for 22 years now and still going strong. We would love this evening out- thanks for offering this great opportunity. Good luck to all of my fellow entrants!
It is my pleasure Maria, it is the best way for me to say thank you for taking the time to support WithLoveGabrielle.com! I have many more exciting giveaways planned, including one starting this Monday for DAVIDsTea.
Congratulations on such a wonderful milestone, it is heartwarming to hear such kind words spoken about a partner. My parents have been together for over 25 and I very much hope to find the same happiness as they have.
Marta, thanks for taking the time to reply to us all!
I wish you all the best in your quest for that special someone. With your parent’s awesome example as your guide, you can’t go wrong!
I’d bring my Mom. What a perfect Mother’s Day treat-after shopping and mani’s of course!
That is such a lovely idea. I always take my mother for mani/pedi on Mother’s Day, it’s part of our little ritual
I would love to take my younger sister Maryanne. Her Bday is on the 24th and it would be a fun post bday celebration to take her too
That is such a sweet idea, it definitely would be Karyn! Happy Birthday to your sister.
I would bring my boyfriend!
It is a wonderful date spot, I am sure you would enjoy it.
I would take my daughter-in-law who loves Spice Route, but as the mom of a 21/2 yr old and a 4 month old does not have the time, energy or funds to go. It would be a great pick me up treat for her!
That definitely would be, it is very thoughtful of you Kim.. A little girl’s night is always such a treat
I would like to win! I haven’t decided whom I would like to go with though.
Still gives you plenty of time to decide
My husband will be my date for this if I win. It’s our 10th wedding anniversary May 4th so this would be awesome to win. Thanks for the chance.
Congratulations on such a wonderful milestone, wishing you all the happiness in the world
I’d surprise my wife with it - she has been so busy with her students and our kids - this would be a great exhale.
Surprises are always lovely and a treat
I’d take my boyfriend! We’ve been very stressed with our daily lives that this would be a perfect pick me up!
I can definitely relate. Date night’s offer some much needed quality time.
Can i Have a dinner date with you Martha? For posting this wonderful blog!
That is very sweet of you
maybe!
Thank you for hosting this. I would take my hardworking hubby. He deserves the treat. He spent the entire weekend with me at my parents place installing safety bars in the bathroom and a railing outside. It wasn’t easy, and he was so good about it, and worked tirelessly into the night without complaint. What a sweetheart.
And, well, this coming Friday is also his birthday, so it would be a perfect way to celebrate.
He does sounds like a sweetheart, you’re a lucky lady! Happy early Birthday to him.
I would take my boyfriend, our anniversary is on may the 9th so it would be a perfect way to celebrate!
Happy early anniversary Jules
CONGRATULATIONS JULES
You are the winner of the DINNER DATE for two at Spice Route on King Street West. Very excited for you considering how perfect this is to treat your boyfriend on your anniversary!
With Love, Marta
This would be a wonderful present to win. I would take my good friend Dorothy as we both love Asian food and are always interested in finding new places to enjoy. We have not been to Spice Route.
Lenore, I am sure that you would enjoy Spire Route with Dorothy. It is such a cozy place and the food is delicious.
I would take my awesome husband as we’re celebrating our fourth wedding anniversary on May 3!
Congratulation on an early anniversary. Wishing you all the happiness in the world!
love to… i am celebrating a very big triumph with a very special man.
That sounds exciting, congratulations!
I would love to take the special guy in my life, my boyfriend. He was away all last year for the military but he spoiled me every chance he got. Living on an internship salary leaves me little to treat him to, so this would be a great opportunity to win just to make him feel special. We’ve have also spoke about the Spice Route many times but unfortunately, haven’t been able to go.
*Crosses fingers!
That is a very sweet of you. I am sure that you two would very much enjoy it. Date night’s are always such a treat!
Mmm… nice! I wish I could go to Toronto for this…
Speaking of New York strip, when are you going to be in NYC? I would love to meet for a coffee/cocktail if you have any extra time
The restaurant is awesome, I am sure you would appreciate it Sasha.
I am trying to finalize the day - work plans keep interfering - as of now mid-May or early June. It would be a pleasure to meet with you!
Great
Just keep me posted then.
Of course
I think I need to take my cousin out-she’s had a rough time lately, and I know she loves this place (the tea cocktails especially!)
That is very kind of you Lizzie. I hope things improve for your sister.
My husband!
Very sweet
I would love to take my best friend out for dinner, would be an amazing way to explore this city together! Sounds like a great way to thank her for the introduction of Toronto back in February, then for pushing me to take my next step in life and actually move oversea to this city already in April! <3
That is so exciting, welcome to Toronto! I hope you are enjoying the city
I’d love to take my bf Bohdan! He always treats me to nice and romantic dinners, and this would be my special way of returning the favour:)
It definitely would it
I would take my mum, obviously! We always do high tea on mother’s day, this would be nice to do afterwards!
That is such a lovely idea
I’m from Montreal. Love Spice Route. I would go with one of my besties living in Toronto! Carry Quigley <3
I would love to take my best friend Delage, we haven’t seen each other since October just due to living in other cities, and a girls weekend in Toronto would be awesome, but due to being a poor student this would make the weekend so much better!
I think I’d have to take my best friend… I have been meaning to take her to Spice Route! Love this restaurant.
My dinner date would be my amazing boyfriend! <3
My “plus one” would be the wifey, of course.
With 3 kids, we rarely get the chance for a night out nowadays. She doesn’t know I’m entering this so it’ll be a nice surprise if we win.
My date will be a certain police officer that caught my eye in Cuba
