With Valentine’s Day approaching, many couples are booking a table at their favourite restaurant to ensure they celebrate in style.

Located at the Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre, our relaxed and vibrant venue is perfect for a Valentine’s date night. There’ll even be live music from singer-songwriter Jack Page on 14 February 2025, making your evening extra special. While you can browse our Valentine’s menu online, we’d like to whet your appetite with our favourite romantic dishes.
Oysters
Oysters are undeniably romantic, having long been associated with desire and passion. Sharing a dish of these luxury shellfish with your date is bound to get your evening off to a good start.
Steak
Sizzling steak is an indulgent choice that’s always popular with Valentine’s diners. The rich, flavourful meat is cooked exactly to your liking, and when paired with a bold red wine, delivers a true taste sensation.
Truffles
With their strong, earthy flavour, truffles have the power to elevate everything from dressings to pasta. Truffle oil is equally lavish, adding not only depth but also a sense of distinction to the simplest fare. Your sweetheart is sure to be impressed if it’s drizzled on their dish.
Risotto
Sometimes the way to a lover’s heart is through simple comfort foods. Risotto is one such dish that, while warming and hearty to eat, requires precise execution to make it perfect. It’s also ideal for vegetarian Valentine’s diners, who can enjoy it with juicy mushrooms or other veggies.
Fish
Fish is often considered romantic because of its delicate, elegant flavours. Enjoying its soft, flaky texture can be a really sensory experience, and when paired with a creamy sauce, it delivers true satisfaction, without laying too heavy on the stomach.
Chocolate
Chocolate is frequently associated with love, perhaps because the Aztecs believed chocolate was a powerful symbol of fertility. Casanova himself called it the ‘elixir of love’. With that in mind choosing a chocolate dessert for your Valentine’s meal is sure to wrap things up beautifully.
Ice cream
If you’re a diner who likes to end on a lighter, more refreshing note, ice cream and sorbet are the ideal way to conclude your meal. These desserts often bring to mind sunshine and holidaying, creating a sense of relaxation that’s sure to lift your mood.
