The Menu: Valentine’s Day
The Menu is a lover, not a fighter and ardently believes that on Valentine’s Day the only route map to the heart is via the belly: The Cliff Townhouse have a fine prosecco/sea food/dessert package for €49pp with a horse-drawn carriage ride around Dublin city, but mind you don’t wind up racing rival lovebirds down the dual carriageway (www.theclifftownhouse.com).
A most pleasant soiree d’amour of dining and champers at Brasserie Le Pont followed by live jazz music could be capped off with an embrace at St Valentine’s Shrine around the corner in Dublin’s Whitefriar Church (www.brasserielepont.ie). The River Restaurant in the Limerick Strand Hotel offers prosecco, four-course candle-lit dinner, live music on the Terrace Bar and a farewell gift for €35pp (www.strandhotellimerick.ie).
