Savour The Romance: Valentine’s Day Fine Dining at Lacuna Bistro
Savour The Romance: A Valentine’s Culinary Affair takes place in Lacuna Bistro on Saturday, 14 February 2026, 18h30 – 22h00. Celebrate with an intimate evening of fine dining and live entertainment.

Rosé sorbet with pink peppercorn brittle will cleanse the palate before the main course of beef fillet rossini with bone marrow, red wine jus, arancini and rainbow baby carrots; or grilled sea bass with saffron beurre blanc, tabouleh, baby fennel and pickled lemon.
Finish with decadent chocolate & raspberry dome, almond praline and gold leaf.
