Pandan Man
A Valentine’s Day dessert that says it all without a single word? It doesn’t get much sweeter than that, and Pandan Man’s limited-edition duo truly hits the mark. The Red Ribbon Pistachio Pandan Cake stacks house-made pistachio spread and crunch over a featherlight pandan sponge, made for intimate sharing and finished with fresh raspberry. Want to go the extra mile? Opt for the headline Strawberry Pandan Mochi Mirror Cake, its glossy glaze giving way to strawberry cream and chewy mochi — and you can even have it custom-inscribed with a romantic phrase of your choosing.
When: Subject to availability (pre-order only).
Where: Order online; pick-ups available at Pandan Man locations across Hong Kong.
How Much: Red Ribbon Pistachio Pandan Cake (from HKD$880); Strawberry Pandan Mochi Mirror Cake (from HKD$395).
La Taverna
La Taverna, Hong Kong’s oldest Italian trattoria – a 1960s time capsule draped in Chianti bottles in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui – rolls out a throwback five-course ‘Be My Valentine’ menu this February 14. Kicking off with a complimentary glass of Prosecco Rosé, the evening moves through a pistachio-liver terrine built with fruit, cocoa, and crunch; a rich, creamy lobster bisque; and a rose-infused beetroot risotto with Gorgonzola that arrives at just the right moment. From there, choose your path: Australian Wagyu striploin with broccolini and baby carrots, or Atlantic black cod with black garlic and raspberry sauce. Dessert, of course, is the grand gesture: La Mela del Peccato – ‘The Apple of Sin’ – a composed finish of apple ganache, jelly, and vanilla sponge designed to soak up every last bit of romance.

Morton’s The Steakhouse

Begin with choices like 5J Iberico Ham Salad with Fennel, Pan Seared Foie Gras on Toasted Brioche, Lobster Bisque, or the Morton’s Ocean Platter for two; then let the main event arrive – whether that’s the ‘Empire Cut’ Bone-In New York Strip for two, USDA Prime Ribeye, Baked Fresh Whole Maine Lobster, Scallop a la Nage with Caviar and Lobster, or Lamb Cutlets with Red Wine Mustard Sauce. Dessert, of course, is the White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake – and don’t let it arrive without a glass of Champagne, wine, or the evening’s signature cocktail, The Love Bird, all on the house.

Akira Back
Unsurprisingly, this sculptural Central landmark inside The Henderson sets the bar with one of the most ambitious Valentine’s Day menus in the city. Akira Back’s debut five-course offering blends Japanese, Korean, and American influences into a sharing feast made for discovery-minded couples – all kicked off with a complimentary glass of Sparkling Rosé Champagne.

Hillside
Hillside, set within Kimpton Tsim Sha Tsui, serves a five-course Valentine’s dinner for those who believe romance lives in the details – each dish nodding to the interplay of land and sea, opened with a complimentary glass of Perrier Jouët Grand Brut NV Champagne. The evening tells a story that begins with Kagoshima Hamachi Crudo brightened with lime zest and blood orange jus; moves through charred Grilled Spanish Octopus and a silky Lobster Risotto with mascarpone and lobster dashi; and builds to its main event: the Hillside Charcoal Grilled Striploin, arriving seared and lustrous with black cherry gastrique for savoury-sweet harmony.

A restaurant to grace many a Hong Kong foodie’s Valentine’s wish list, Quarry Bay’s Parisian gem À Poêle sets the scene for an evening in the City of Love with its four-course dinner – soundtracked by live saxophonist Karol Kijas’ soulful jazz. The candlelit setting is intimate, and the menu is classic French and rich in all the right ways.

Flat Iron Steak
Flat Iron Steak is doing Valentine’s with a menu for people who like their romance sincere – but not too precious. The ‘Steak & Cake’ set gets straight to the good stuff: a premium Wagyu Fillet Steak and a generous Maryland Crab Cake, both finished with béarnaise and served with salad and fries. A glass of Prosecco sets the tone, and a Warm Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Tart seals the deal. Available across Flat Iron Steaks in Hong Kong, as well as sister restaurants The Lasagna Factory and Picanhas, it’s made for couples – and for Galentine’s too – because the best kinds of love aren’t always romantic, but they’re still worth showing up for.
