The Season of Love in Edina
Valentine’s Day may be just around the corner, but in Edina, love was never meant to be limited to a single day. Here, we make a season of it — lingering over dinner reservations, ice-skating, boutique finds, and meaningful moments shared all month long.
February isn’t only about roses and reservations. It’s about slowing down in the heart of winter, supporting local, celebrating friendships, planning proposals, and turning ordinary evenings into something worth remembering.
Whether you’re finalizing dinner plans, gathering your girls for Galentine’s brunch, shopping 50th & France for the perfect “just because” gift, or dreaming up a proposal at Centennial Lakes — now is the time to lean in.
Because in Edina, we don’t rush meaningful moments. We savor them. And the love doesn’t end on February 14th!
Love, Local & 50th & France
Explore over 175 shops in the iconic 50th & France district — where thoughtful gifting and charming stops make love season feel effortless.
Begin with coffee or something sweet at Bellecour, then browse curated fashion and accessories at Senti for pieces that feel personal, not last-minute.
For a meaningful touch, create a custom bouquet at The Petal — a simple, beautiful way to elevate any Valentine’s surprise.
When it’s time for dinner, reserve a table at Thérèse, one of Edina’s newest restaurants, for a romantic Parisian-inspired experience complete with warm ambiance and refined French cuisine. Or opt for the New Orleans–inspired menu at Mr. Paul’s Supper Club, where bold flavors and classic supper club charm create an evening that feels both lively and intimate. Whichever direction you choose, end the night at Noma Hi-Fi Lounge for an elevated cocktail and a stylish nightcap.
From coffee to couture to cocktails, 50th & France delivers charm, variety, and a little extra magic this season.
Luxury & Leisure at Southdale Center
Some nights call for dressing up. Others call for staying in. At Southdale Center, you can plan both in one stop.
Start by strolling through the luxury wing and browsing iconic brands like Louis Vuitton and David Yurman — perfect for a statement gift or simply dreaming a little bigger together. For something equally thoughtful but more approachable, stop into Kendra Scott for jewelry that feels personal and celebratory.
Planning a cozy night in? Stop by Kowalski’s Markets to pick up fresh ingredients for a homecooked dinner. There’s something undeniably romantic about cooking together, setting the table, and lingering over dessert in your own space. Can’t forget wine — swing by Edina Liquor on your way home for a bottle of seasonal bubbles to complete the meal.
Prefer to make it a night out? After dinner, head to Puttshack for a playful, competitive twist on date night, or keep the energy high at Dave & Buster’s for games, drinks, and a little friendly rivalry.
Whether you’re dressing up, staying in, or heading out for something lighthearted, Southdale makes it easy to turn Valentine’s plans into a full evening experience.
Refined Romance at Galleria
Just across from Southdale, Galleria Edina offers an elevated experience — perfect for turning Valentine’s plans into an afternoon date. Stroll the mall hand-in-hand and explore its reputation as a furniture destination, dreaming up future spaces together. Sometimes the sweetest conversations happen while testing sofas or imagining where that statement piece might live.
For thoughtful gifts, browse curated jewelry and accessories at Mille — or take the next big step with a visit to JB Hudson Jewelers to pick out an engagement ring that marks the beginning of forever.
Make it a full experience with lunch at Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café for something light and charming, or come back later to enjoy in lobster and cocktails at CoV Edina.
And for the ultimate thoughtful gesture, treat your partner to a facial or self-care service at Laserie or Face Foundrié — because sometimes the most meaningful gift is simply time to unwind.
From rings to relaxation, the Galleria makes it easy to slow down, savor the season, and celebrate what’s next.
Taking the Next Step in Edina
If you’re ready to take the next step in your love journey, Edina can help you there, too.
After picking out the perfect ring, finding the right place to ask the question is just as important — and few places feel as naturally beautiful as our parks and open spaces.
Centennial Lakes Park
offers timeless lake views, winding paths, and golden-hour light that make proposals feel effortless and intimate. Whether it’s a quiet winter walk or a summer evening by the water, it’s a setting that never goes out of style.
For something equally stunning, Arneson Acres Park provides manicured gardens, historic charm, and one of the most picturesque backdrops in the city. In bloom, it’s breathtaking — and even in the quieter months, it offers a sense of elegance and privacy that makes the moment feel truly special.
From lakeside sunsets to garden pathways, Edina’s venues and green spaces make it easy to begin your next chapter somewhere beautiful.
Sip, Shop, and Celebrate in Edina with Your Gals
We didn’t forget our single ladies — love season in Edina is just as much about celebrating friendship and fun.
Start with a cozy girls’ night at Bojae’s Wine Bar, then plan something that feels good for everyone. Book a workout class together at The Yoga Room or unwind at beem Light Sauna for a morning that blends movement, mindfulness, and a little well-deserved reset.
Spend the afternoon browsing beautiful home inspiration at Room & Board or Ethan Allen — because dreaming up future spaces (and testing every sofa) is always more fun with friends.
Treat yourselves to fresh nails at France Nails or a massage at Spalon Montage, then round it out with brunch at Hope Breakfast Bar before heading to Centennial Lakes Park for ice skating and plenty of laughs.
And don’t forget to mark your calendar for the March Floral Workshop at The Petal — the perfect creative girls’ night to keep the celebration going into spring.
However you gather, Edina makes it easy to turn time with your girls into something memorable.
Love Lives Here
Whether you’re planning a candlelit dinner, popping the question, gathering your girls, or simply savoring a slower winter afternoon, Edina offers countless ways to celebrate the season — from the charm of 50th & France to the energy of Southdale, the refinement of the Galleria, and the beauty of our parks. Here, love shows up in every form.
This season, shop local. Try somewhere new. Say yes to dinner. Say yes to brunch. Say yes to skating, to flowers, to future plans.
Because in Edina, love isn’t just a holiday.
It’s a lifestyle.
