Ah, Valentine’s Day—a day to celebrate love, romance, and the undeniable truth that the way to anyone’s heart is through their stomach. If you’re searching for the perfect way to wow your significant other this February 14th, Banyan Tree Dubai has crafted not just one but two swoon-worthy dining experiences that are practically dripping with romance (and truffle butter). So grab your partner, wear your fanciest outfit, and prepare for a night that screams “main character energy” at Alizée Restaurant and Alizée Pool and Beach.
Option 1: Alizée Restaurant – Where Chic Meets Romance
Nestled in Banyan Tree Dubai’s serene setting, Alizée Restaurant is like stepping into a Parisian dream. The bohemian interiors are as cozy as they are Instagrammable—perfect for stealing a candid (or five) with your better half.
Let’s talk food, because this is no ordinary Valentine’s dinner. This is a five-course parade of French culinary finesse that’s ready to woo your taste buds. The journey begins with the king crab mille-feuille (yes, crab and pastry had a love child), paired with the tangy zing of avocado and passion fruit. Starters? Oh, just the velvety foie gras, kissed with cherry gelée and served with toasted brioche that’s so buttery, you’ll question why bread and butter don’t get their own holiday.
For the main act, you’ve got choices:
- A herb-crusted lamb rack that looks too good to eat (but you will, because yum) with a potato dauphinoise that’s practically poetry in starch form.
- Or, the sea bass, swimming in a luxurious orange white butter sauce, topped with the regal touch of ossetra caviar.
End on a sweet note with the raspberry pavlova, featuring clouds of meringue, tart berry compote, and Chantilly cream. As if that wasn’t enough, a plate of delicate mignardises (read: fancy French treats) is there to complete your culinary courtship.
When: February 14th, 6:00 pm – 11:00 pm
Where: Alizée Restaurant
Price: AED 450 per person
Option 2: Alizée Pool and Beach – Love Under the Stars
For couples ready to pull out all the romantic stops (or if you’re secretly auditioning for a rom-com), Alizée Pool and Beach offers the ultimate Valentine’s experience: a private beachfront cabana dinner. Cue the sound of waves, twinkling fairy lights, and the gentle hum of “this is perfect” playing in your head.
Start your magical evening with a selection of amuse-bouche that’s anything but humble—think Australian beef carpaccio with black truffle and crispy flatbread. For starters, indulge in Vitello Tonnato & Truffe Noire (translation: slow-cooked veal loin with tuna sauce, truffle, and fancy greens).
The star of the show? A Wagyu Chateaubriand served to share because nothing says “we’re in this together” like cutting into perfectly marbled beef. Pair it with truffle potato purée and rainbow carrots that might make your heart skip a beat.
And dessert? The raspberry pavlova makes another cameo, alongside amaretti, truffle chocolate, and lemon tart—just in case your love for sweets rivals your love for each other.
When: February 14th, 6:00 pm – 11:00 pm
Where: Alizée Pool and Beach
Price: AED 4,000 per couple (because true romance is priceless, but also sometimes expensive)
