Beautiful foods and delicious drinks to fall in love with this Valentine's
This Valentine's, get up close and personal with these tempting dishes at Bonnie & Wild. Perfect for sharing between two.
First off, what’s not to love about a sourdough pizza fresh from east PIZZAS’s oven. Will you go pure and simple with a margherita ,or down and dirty with their meat feast?
A grand basket of chicken tendies from Chooks is always a tempting choice for couples. Up the tempo with their tempting honey and hot sauce.
They’re messy, they’re delicious, and they’re perfect for sharing: get your fingers into a basket of loaded fries from El Perro Negro. Go for the classic Buffalo & Blue Cheese serving, or choose from the Kimchi Cheese, Chilli Cheese, or Truffle Cheese options.
Another side that’s perfect for sharing is Kochchi’s cheese roti melts. Though they’re so good and moreish, you may not want to risk falling out over the last one. Play it safe and order extra. Still in the mood for something on the side? The spring rolls from Leith Woks are a temptation worth giving in to.
Seafood lovers searching for a prize catch are spoilt for choice at Creel Caught. Dive head over heels into a serving of oysters from Creel Caught, a bowl of succulent Shetland mussels, or a sumptuous seafood platter.
For the sweet-toothed lovers among you, try Stack & Still’s red velvet chocolate pancake special, served with cream cheese frosting, crumbled Oreo pieces, chocolate dipped strawberries, and a warm chocolate glaze. Or go traditional with a strawberries and cream stack.
And if that doesn’t set pulses racing, you'll go ooh-lala and fall completely in love with the vanilla French toast and berry compote Valentine's Special from Soup & Caboodle. Looking to share? The Scottish deli also offers a range of sharing platters including a charcuterie board.
Of course, if things are getting a bit too hot and you’re needing to cool things down, then a scoop of Joelato’s gelato will do the trick. Drool over their bacio (choc hazelnut), coffee and walnut praline, dulce de leche mascarpone, and mango and lime sorbet flavours. As well as tubs and cones, they also do tubs for takeaway … just saying.
Really can’t stay? Whether you strike it lucky or need to bale, you can grab and go with a box of Chulo's Stuffed Cookies.
For drinks, our bars have a selection of tantalising cocktails (try the Espresso Martini or Chillimango), as well as some outstanding mocktails if you’re needing to keep your head clear (Berry Smash, and Rise and Shine recommended). Or make a big impression with a bottle of bubbly. As well as Piaff Champagne, we also have Sea Change Prosecco and Rosé Prosecco by the glass and the bottle.
Over at our illy Caffè, the team have fallen in love with their berry, hibiscus & mango iced tea. Love an empire biscuit? They’re slinging them too (GF and vegan).
And if you’re looking to extend your date for a few hours and wanting to take a bottle home with you, we’ve got Darnley’s Gin and Kingsbarns Whisky in on Friday for a Meet the Makers tasting at Rarity bottle shop, followed by a Piaff Champagne tasting on the Saturday (both days 12-5pm).
