With a myriad of restaurants and cafes, all with different vibes and aesthetics, under one roof, you can rest assured that both you and your partner will experience a memorable date with good food to boot.
So, bookmark these places and enjoy!
SOCIAL
It has plenty of options to choose from, be it DIY Chinese combos, tandoori pizzas, to burgers and rolls. And since it wouldn’t be a Delhi outpost without the city’s much-loved classics, you can also enjoy chaat and momos! Of course, no V-Day dinner would be complete without digging into something sweet, so make the most of the extensive dessert menu and try dishes such as the blueberry cheesecake, the layer chocolate cake, tiramisu, or the decadent sticky toffee pudding. Plus, the playground setting complete with a show-stopping waterfall is the cherry on top and will definitely make you feel like you’re on a romantic amusement park date.
Flow
There’s nothing as romantic as a rooftop dinner on Valentine’s Day in pleasant February weather, and at Flow, you can enjoy some much-needed quality time with your partner in a beautiful setting. Pick from salads made with fresh seasonal produce, and delectable small plates that pair perfectly with their unique cocktails, pasta, and more. If you’re a couple who loves Asian food, then their baos, sushi, and dim sums are a must-try! The indulgent Irish coffee cheesecake or the baked chocolate cheesecake acts as the ultimate sweet finish to the meal.
Ping’s Café Orient
For the health-conscious couple who loves their Asian date nights, Ping's Cafe Orient should be on top of the list for V-Day. The chic pan-Asian restaurant serves up a mix of dishes from all over the subcontinent, from Vietnamese soups, and Thai curries to Japanese dumplings and sushi. The best part? The menu has ample options if you have dietary restrictions, so you can indulge guilt-free with your partner! Sip on craft cocktails and no-added sugar mocktails to round off a meal that will be one to remember.
Perch
If sipping on wine and dining seems like the ideal V-Day for the two of you, then Perch at Commons should be your go-to. Their gooey grilled cheese sandwiches will be the ideal accompaniment to your choice of drink, while their wholesome salads pack a flavourful punch. If you’re an all-day breakfast kind of couple, don’t miss their filling burritos and toasts. Their creative small and large plates are just as delicious – we recommend you get a mix of both for the best experience! For dessert enthusiasts, the double chocolate parfait and the baked cheesecake are excellent options.
