The month of love is upon us and whether you’re looking to enjoy a romantic sit-down dinner, an exhilarating night of fun or a cosy date night in, we’ve got you covered.

So you’re looking for the perfect spot to take your special someone on this special day? Il Verde and Montrachet offer the perfect setting for a romantic dinner for two. If you're looking to spice things up (literally), head to Xin Chao to enjoy some of their authentic Vietnamese cuisine.

Embark on a friendly showdown at Archie Brothers, where you can go head-to-head with your loved one in an array of arcade games or a thrilling game of bowling to settle the score. Cap off the night with a lively session of karaoke, revealing the potential pop superstar between you two. And remember to order their outrageously over-the-top cocktails, the perfect drinks to complement the night of fun and excitement.

If you're up bright and early or just aiming to kick off your Valentine’s Day on a fabulous note, swing by King Street Bakery! In honour of the month of love, they’ve whipped up two sweet creations: the Chocolat de Passion, a blend of rich grand marnier brulee, tangy passionfruit curd and velvety chocolate hazelnut praline mousse and the Raspberry Pistachio Heart Macaron, a deliciously light macaron filled with luscious whipped pistachio ganache, topped with a drizzle of tangy raspberry coulis and garnished with juicy, plump raspberries. To add a dash more romance to the day, snag a few of their freshly made baguette sandwiches, and take your haul to a nearby park for the perfect picnic with your special someone.
