Do you feel an involuntary smile on your lips when you think about your beloved? Does your heart beat just that little bit faster? Do people tell you that your expression softens and eyes light up when you see your one-and-only?
Perhaps, in the middle of the night, you think about what the Divine Sarah – also prosaically known as Sarah Bernhardt – once said:
“Your words are my food, your breath my wine. You are everything to me.”
Naturally, when Valentine’s Day comes around, you want to have a special evening; something created for a night of love. Fortunately, no matter what kind of mood you want, these restaurants and their Valentine’s Day special will help make your evening unforgettable.
Bedrock Bar & Grill
When you’re both something of a carnivore, Bedrock Bar & Grill’s Valentine’s Day 4-Course Dinner Set “Seared With Love” ($168++ per person) will delight. Every course has a protein focus with the main course choices being the highlight. The Mangalica Pork Porterhouse 300g is a pleasure with its rich deep flavour and tender texture – thanks to the high fat content; and, really, who wouldn’t want to taste the pork considered a national treasure in Hungary? Beef lovers, on the other hand, will appreciate the rare Yukimuro Snow-aged Full Blood Wagyu Striploin 220g – tender and moist, yet mellow and richly umami, a characteristic that can be produced only because of the unique snow-aging technique. Better yet, the restaurant gifts a complimentary glass of Chevalier Blanc de Blanc sparkling wine in celebration of the season!

Birds Of A Feather
A cavernous space that feels both dreamy and lively; punctuated by vivid greenery, and lightwells through which soft sunlight shimmers down – if your beloved has an interest in architecture and interior design, Birds of A Feather is a fabulous date spot. The food is as creative and thoughtful as the interiors: Head Chef Eugene See’s Contemporary Cuisine with Sichuan influences is a sophisticated confluence of his European culinary mastery and ever-growing knowledge of Sichuan cuisine. Their special Valentine’s Day BOAF Menu Sharing For Two ($138++ per couple) is a perfect showcase, with four courses with robust flavours delicately executed. Or if you’re both longtime fans, then go straight for ANYI ($103++ per person, min. two persons**) – a 7-course sharing-style tasting menu that feels decadent but also as comforting as its name. Psst! Every order of either abovementioned Valentine’s Day menu will be gifted a very special cocktail – the Hearts on Cloud, specially created for this occasion – for each couple to share. The pretty pink cocktail comes with a playful heart-shaped straw: perfect for the young and young-at-heart!
**All parties at the same table must order ANYI
Bedrock Origin
Starry skies, sea breezes and ocean waves, paired with an indulgent Valentine’s Day special: dining there will be an evening to remember. Their Valentine’s Day 4-Course Dinner Set Menu “A Romantic Escapade” ($168++ per person) is beautifully balanced between premium seafoods and meats, perfect for a couple that has different protein preferences. We’re especially enamoured with the Pan-Seared Hiramasa – the rich and clean flavours and firm flesh are beautifully brought out by the pairing of braised leek, yuzu sauce and ginger froth. The meal also goes well with the a complimentary glass of Chevalier Blanc de Blanc sparkling wine!
Fat Cow
For the ultimate in foodie pleasure, go straight for Fat Cow’s Valentine’s Day Six Hands Dinner ($168++ per person). Chef Shingo Iijima works with Chef Takafumi Fukumoto and Chef Takahiro Togoe, both acclaimed Japanese chefs from Miyazaki who flew in specially for this two-night collaboration, to feature their beloved prefecture’s finest produce. Their menu showcases the whole spectrum of delicious food: from something as luxurious as the Miyazaki wagyu all the way to something as simple as potatoes. What we’re really drooling over, however, is the dessert – a Wagyu Fat Brownie. As its name suggests, the brownie is made with wagyu fat which purportedly enriches the confection and makes the chocolate flavour even more potent!
Ginkyō by Kinki
Here’s something a little different from the other options just shared: a vibrant lively bistro offering modern Japanese cuisine that has a playful blend of authenticity and contemporary creativity. Ginkyō by Kinki offers a fun Valentine’s Day Menu ($198++ per couple) which begins with a Valentine’s Day Surprise Box! Showcasing nine starters chosen specially by the culinary team on that day itself, guessing and trying the nine will be a great way to break the ice breaker for dates and new couples. There’s a choice between meat and seafood for the mains, a choice between textural pleasures for dessert, and the option of a 2-hour beverage free-flow inclusive of wine, sparkling wine, sake, beer, soda and juice for an easy $48++ per person.

MIYOSHI by Fat Cow
For one night only, sweep your date off their feet and over the (admittedly rather short) straits onto Sentosa and into MIYOSHI by Fat Cow for a delicious modern Japanese meal in a gorgeously restored conservation building. Their Valentine’s Day Dinner ($168++ per person) showcases premium ingredients carefully prepared to show their best qualities. Seafood connoisseurs will find the menu especially irresistible: think items such as Carabinero Ebi no Ebi Miso where carabinero prawns are paired with sea urchin and a housemade prawn miso so that every bite is redolent with a sweet oceanic umami.
