We’re playing cupid to help walk you through your next date night.
What’s the Date?
There is a time and place for every date. Nerve-racking first dates call for non-committal afternoons at a laidback cafe, no pressure. Meanwhile for the ambiguous is-this-even-a-date date, do dinner and drinks on Friday night — if they’re out with you on a Friday night (read: precious commodity), you'll know it’s a date for sure! And if you’re really serious about impressing your special someone, we know just the place, where anytime is a good time.
The Right Vibes
Decked out in stellar marble and gold-rimmed interior, National Gallery’s Aura sets the right mood for you to score points. The chairs are chic and cushiony, and there’s something about that warm lighting that helps bring out your best features. Need to take things up a notch? There’s a Sky Lounge out the glass doors, overlooking the city.
‘Oohs’ and ‘Aahs’
Has anyone ever told you that the way to your date’s heart is through their stomach? Our secret to a successful date is to feed ‘em so well, all you hear are hopelessly smitten ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’. Order these: the luxe Crispy Egg with Sevruga Cavier, Cod and Sea Urchin Custard, a beautifully constructed Italian Seabass with White & Green Asparagus and Saffron Sauce, and the handsomely Grilled Octopus with Smoked Peppers, Eggplant and Black Olives.
The Sweet Spot
There comes a moment after dinner, when you realise that you’ve successfully outdone yourself; you’ve hit all the sweet spots. Your reward? A Black Forest Fleur de Cao with Morello Cherry and Chocolate Sorbet. Deliciously decadent, a little heady and just the right temperature, much like your date done right.
