My fiancé took me out for dinner last week to the Gypsy at Red. It was an incredible fine dining experience with a menu that will tantalize your palate. I couldn’t believe all the options that looked incredible, although I had to decide I can’t wait to go back and try some other dishes. The ambiance was great at the Gypsy, the warm breeze coming in from the patio and watching the sky brighten with the rising moon all enhanced the evening.  

The Gypsy at Red is an award winning restaurant, located at the base of the beautiful Red Mountain in Rossland, BC. The Gypsy serves up a unique blend of creative gourmet meals, integrating amazing flavours into each beautiful dish. The Gypsy at Red is an experience not to be missed, enjoy their fabulous options in their new menu as well as homemade desserts and a great wine list.

Check out the Gypsy at Red and experience the personable service and attention to detail, I can’t wait to return!

Today I had my first Rossland muffin, from Clancey’s. Everyone had been telling me I had to try it and today I did. It is one of the largest muffins I have ever seen and it is filled with cream cheese! I have visited Clancey’s a few times; it’s a great place to sip a latte. I have noticed these giant warm muffins before but didn’t know if I could handle it. A friend brought me one this morning and waited in anticipation on my first bite and my first experience of this unknown land. I was amazed.

I have noticed during my summer here that Rosslanders’ both work and play hard and this also applies to their muffins. This is more than a muffin, this is a Rossland muffin.

Elevated beauty, unassuming charm and a golden past characterize Rossland. This truly is the best place to live, work and play. Some of the unlimited activities in Rossland include, mountain biking, golfing, hiking, horseback riding, downhill, Nordic and snow cat skiing, snowshoeing and dog sledding. And of course their incredible dining, spas and numerous festivals and events throughout the year are other great reason to visit.

Nestled in the crater of an ancient volcano at an elevation of 1023 meters, Rossland is one of Canada’s highest cities. With an average annual snowfall of 750 centimeters (300”) at Red Mountain, Rossland has a renowned reputation for powder skiing and has produced some of Canada’s best ski racers. Rossland offers mountain bikers and hikers hundreds of kilometers of trails, all radiating from the center of town.

Check out Rossland and be sure to try a muffin!
