Valentine’s Day might get all the attention, but Arcade by Aloft is making a stronger case for the entire week. From 7th to 14th February, the neighbourhood favourite invites couples to slow things down, pour the wine and turn dinner into something worth lingering over.

This Valentine’s Week Special is for couples who believe romance starts with good food and drinks and is sealed with great company. Think relaxed date nights rather than overdone theatrics, where the conversation flows as easily as the wine. Throughout the week, couples can enjoy 30% off food and beverages with the purchase of a bottle of wine, paired with a complimentary Red Velvet Cake to share, because no celebration of love should end without dessert.

Adding to the experience, live performances will take place on both 7th and 14th February, setting the tone for evenings filled with music, conversation and shared plates.

Guests can settle into Arcade’s indoor seating or head out to the terrace, where global flavours and crafted drinks set the tone for easy evenings and long chats. Whether it’s an early-week dinner or a Valentine’s night finale, the experience is built around comfort, value and time well spent together.

Running for eight days, the Valentine’s Week offer gives couples more than one chance to celebrate, turning a single date into a full week of excuses to dine out.

This Valentine’s Day, Bab El Bahr invites couples to indulge in a culinary celebration of love with its specially curated set menu, designed to delight the senses and create unforgettable moments.

Guests can enjoy a romantic evening at Bab El Bahr on Friday, February 13, and Saturday, February 14, set against the elegant coastal-inspired ambiance that has made the restaurant a Downtown Dubai favorite.

The Valentine’s Temptation menu opens the evening with a tempting trio of shrimp tempura, salmon tartare, and Dibba Bay oysters, offering a fresh and playful introduction to the night.

Guests will then be treated to a sophisticated Rendez Vous of lobster bisque with asparagus cream alongside a delicate beetroot puff pastry, setting the tone for a truly indulgent experience.

For a touch of exotic sweetness, Frozen Passion offers a refreshing palate cleanse. For the main course, guests can choose between two refined creations. Aphrodite’s Favorite showcases a delicately grilled sea bass fillet served atop sautéed spinach and finished with a fragrant vanilla beurre blanc. Alternatively, the beef tenderloin is paired with a silky smoked potato mousseline and enriched with a luxurious truffle veal jus.

The evening concludes with Cupid’s Delight, a decadent dessert of chocolate mousse, raspberry coulis, and dark chocolate sponge, providing the perfect romantic finale.

To complete the experience, all ladies will be presented with a complimentary red rose, a timeless gesture of romance and appreciation.

Bab El Bahr’s Valentine’s Day menu is crafted not only to showcase fresh, high-quality ingredients but also to celebrate love through a culinary journey designed for sharing and savoring together. The restaurant’s stylish setting along Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard offers the perfect backdrop for couples seeking an intimate and memorable night out.
