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.
