The best takeaways and meal boxes on offer this Valentine's Day

It will be love at first bite this Valentine's Day thanks to some tasty offerings from local restaurants

Make Valentine's Day at home special this year.

There may be no last-minute midnight flights to Paris, no romantic assignations on petal-strewn hotel pillows, no swooning by the Seine — or even the Suir unless it’s within your 5km limit — but that doesn’t mean lockdown is going to put any restrictions on our loving this Valentine’s Day, especially when it comes to making goo-eyes at your heart’s desire over an extra-special candlelit feast.

Though currently shuttered, the hospitality industry may ruefully mark the passing of what is traditionally one of the trade’s busiest days of the year, there are still plenty of restaurants and cafes that have pivoted to offer delicious ‘dining out at home’ options.
