Editor’s Choice – Top 3 Valentine’s dining destinations that promise an unforgettable celebration of love.
1. The Scarlett House
A Cinematic Love Affair on the Plate
This Valentine’s, The Scarlett House transforms romance into a theatrical experience with its special Valentine’s edit, Love, Actually. Inspired by iconic love stories and the beautiful chaos of falling in love, the concept brings storytelling directly to the table.
Rooted in the brand’s signature New Age Nostalgia, the menu reimagines legendary romantic films through thoughtfully crafted dishes — from an Eat Pray Love-inspired Beetroot Carpaccio to Lady and the Tramp-style Linguine Meatballs, culminating in a dramatic Chocolat-inspired Chocolate Dome that delivers pure indulgence.
The cocktail programme mirrors the emotional journey of romance — playful, flirtatious, intense, and ultimately unforgettable. Every element is layered with narrative, making this not just a dinner, but an experience.
Why pick this: Perfect for couples who appreciate drama, nostalgia, and immersive storytelling in every bite.
