Where to go for Valentine’s Day in Dublin

NoLIta New York Bar & Italian Eatery – South Great Georges Street

NoLIta have put together an Italian Valentine’s Day Set Menu for €45 per person. This is a great casual dining option for couples looking to mark the occasion as well as friends looking to have a galantines meal and cocktail. The red leather couches and warmly lit floor to ceiling bars create a romantic atmosphere – (and that’s before you head up to the whiskey bar for an after dinner drink, serious vibes in this space).

Café en Seine – Dawson Street, Dublin 2

Café en Seine’s Valentine’s Day Set Menu (€55 per person) includes a large sharing slow cooked beef short rib with triple cooked chips, grilled cabbage, mushrooms a la grecque, pepper sauce. Start with a selection of sharing dishes and finish with a warm double chocolate cookie served aesthetically in its oven dish with salt caramel ice cream melting over it.

Café en Seine has just recently over gone an interior renovation and are excited for people to experience their beautifully updated spaces.

Opium Asian Restaurant – Wexford Street.

Bring your special someone to Wexford Street where the team in Opium have a Valentine’s Day Set Menu (€50 per person). Enjoy the flavour profiles of their Asian cuisine with a specially created valentines cocktail included (‘The Pink Lady’ or ‘Nangfa’). This menu is well suited to sharing and the restaurant is dimly and romantically lit.  

If the evening is going well move on from your dinner to the Botanical Garden Bar for a drink! The fairy lights come on at dusk and the space is definitely Instagram story material.

Pichet – Trinity Street 

Pichet’s Head Chef Harry Quinn has created a beautiful Valentine’s Day Set Menu (€72 per person). This is a must for serious foodies or people looking for a special Valentines Treat. They have also created a signature Valentine’s Day Cocktail which is the ‘St. Valentine’. (Rhurbarb Gin & Vodka, Crème de Cassis, Quince Syrup, Tonic, Lemon Twist).

If your looking to wow your date with 5 star service look no further than Pichet. The reviews online speak for themselves.
