With today’s Groupon: for $30, you get a three-course prix fixe Italian dinner at Q4 Ristorante on West Fourth Avenue (a $60 value).

Q4 Ristorante, named one of Vancouver magazine’s best venues for formal Italian dining in 2010, quells hunger with a three-course tasting menu packed with multiple selections of palatable appetizers, enticing entrees, and delectable desserts. A choice of pink-peppercorn- and rock-salt-crusted tuna or spinach salad prep mandibles to wrap around orange glazed oven-roasted salmon. Meanwhile, New York strip loin sates carnivorous cravings, and fettuccine tartufate stirs memories of swims through Venice’s noodle-filled canals. For dessert, a sour-cherry-and-red-wine reduction cascades down vanilla-bean mascarpone whip and candied pastry in a ciliege filate.

The restaurant’s crimson walls, hanging wrought-iron chandeliers, and tabletop candles radiate a soft glow over stained mahogany tables, intricately hand-painted floors, and the occasional wine-bottle stampede. Surrounded by shelves brimming with potent potables, myriad table settings accommodate party sizes ranging from one-on-one romantic dinners to large superhero gatherings.

Travel toward taste with a starter such as the duck confit and foie gras, served with caramelized pear and an apple reduction ($23). The arugula and pear salad brings a bevy of bleu cheese to subdue hunger pangs ($11), and the pan-seared halibut stars as a main dish with a supporting cast of bacon-braised leeks and red calypso bean ragout ($35). The Wagyu beef ($59) asserts itself as a favourite in the meat-seeking mouths of carnivores, and the chicken comes stuffed with pistachios and goat cheese ($29). After an exciting meal, saunter into the luxurious casino and take your chances at making $10 grow exponentially, like a colony of chinchillas or a love for reality cooking shows.

Sleek black walls, selective lighting, and oversized windows imbue Tramonto with the essence of effortless luxury. Its location within the River Rock Casino Resort adds to the elegance and allows diners to delve into gambling endeavours without having to walk outside into the unlucky atmosphere.

Revel in modern movement with today’s Groupon to Canadian Flight Centre in Delta. Choose between two options:

  • For $99, you get a 30-minute discovery flight and ground lesson (a $200 value).
  • For $257, you get a private pilot starter package (a $595 value).

Canadian Flight Centre’s accredited Transport Canada instructors guide prospective pilots and seasoned aeronauts through a menagerie of training courses and tours. In the ground lesson, an experienced aviator will help recruits get acquainted with the movements and procedures in the plane, as well as the proper way to pet the dashboard for good behaviour. After a tour of the aircraft and maintenance facilities, you’ll slide into the driver’s seat to chariot either a Cessna or a Piper plane. The plane slowly becomes an extension of the new pilot’s body, with excited wings flapping carefree like arms over the lush local scenery and the overhead compartments storing pounds and pounds of partially digested cotton candy.

For those serious about taking steps toward a global sky society, the private pilot starter package furthers aero-education with 40 hours of ground school (a $325 value). Therein, you’ll hit the books on subjects of air law; meteorology; theory of flight; modern parachute fashion; navigation; airframes, engines, and systems; flight operations; cloud relations; and human factors. The tuition price also covers the cost of the required textbook (a $45 value) and a ground school bag (a $25 value). Bookworms then blossom into metallic sky bugs by taking the reins of a discovery flight (a $200 value). The starter package also covers opening steps of Transport Canada’s requirements for obtaining a pilot’s licence, which grants two free club sodas when flashed at airport bars.

Boasting a different cuisine every day of the month, Cookshop’s cooking classes showcase an array of talented chefs as they mince their way through three or more well-scented hours. Either demonstrative or participatory, the classes entice students to absorb cooking-show-esque knowledge or throw caution to the wind and cover exploratory fingers with icing. Voyeuristic taste buds can journey the world, kicking off a global tour with the June 9 Passport to Italy class, a Sicilian romp through roasted artichokes, tomato-bathed chicken, and ricotta-filled cannoli ($49). Dessert fanatics create sugary, edible pets in a participatory Cupcake Magic class—offered June 26 and July 31 or July 10 for kids ages 10 and older ($59)—which creates a baroque fantasy out of the vanilla cupcake with rolled fondant, rosette swirls, icing drop flowers, and frosting caricatures of local government officials. Culinary horizons are further expanded in delectable class offerings such as Sushi ($59) and Indian Favourites ($79), making restless tongues feel appeased and yearning kitchen appliances feel loved.
