The 4-course menu (inclusive of 1 glass of champagne) goes for RM688 per couple whereas the 5-course menu (inclusive of 1 bottle of champagne) is priced at RM 988 nett per couple.

If a large appetite is the glue that keeps you and your plus one together, head to Curate's Valentine's Day buffet. Each couple will be charged RM420 for full access to a lavish spread plus 2 cocktails/mocktails. If champagne is more up your alley, RM850 is your total.

With welcome cocktails called 'True Love,' it'd be hard not to get the giggles at Graze's Valentine's Day Celebration — thus breaking the ice with your date. An aphrodisiacal first course of freshly-shucked oysters (or tuna tartare, if bivalves turn you off) is followed by Lobster Bisque or Sun Blushed Tomato Soup, and Grilled French Sea Bass or Red Wine Braised Tenderloin for mains. Warm chocolate cake rounds up the meal. While the four-course meal is priced at RM220 per pax, we recommend getting the RM108 top up for a complete wine pairing. There will be chocolates and a rose for the lady/gentleman.

Sharing is caring, hence the Valentine's Day Sharing Menu at Entier. Begin with an amuse bouche of Escargot & Chicken Liver Pate before exploring the Baby Cuttlefish with Basil Ice Cream. You and your date will have to vote for the Beef Short Rib with Truffle, Chicken Leg with Morel Sauce, or the Lobster with Lemak Risotto (supplement RM115), but dessert is fixed: souffle, milk and ice cream make up the sweet medley. 

Hats off to Chef Masahi Horiuchi for also presenting a Vegetarian Edition Menu this Valentine's. Start with the Spinach Cheeseball and Vegetable Tart before segueing into the Vegetable Garden. The Trio of Vegetables with Truffle will tempt even the most staunch omnivores, while the Truffle Pasta might turn them once and for all. The meat-free menu is priced at RM247 or RM199 per pax, with or without wine pairings.

The only 5-star hotel in KL where you can immerse yourself in colonial architecture, The Majestic provides a fairytale-like setting for the most romantic day in the calendar. For RM550 per couple or RM275 per pax, enjoy Dinner at Colonial Café, which is inclusive of live music by Soliano, a Valentine's giveaway and a complimentary glass of bubbly. Meanwhile, Valentine's Day afternoon tea will be served in the tea lounge, the drawing room, or the Orchid Conservatory for RM88, RM108 or RM138 per pax.

Save yourself the trouble of booking a meal, buying a gift, and planning an experience by opting in for one of two packages. Due to limited space in the Orchid Conservatory, only five couples will be admitted to Love Is Always A Celebration (6-course meal, glasses of rosé, flower bouquet, Malaya Golden Chersonese Couple's Spa Treatment Gift Voucher). A Classic Romance at The Smoke House (apéritifs, six-course meal in a private dining room, bouquet and after-dinner tipples) might be less exclusive, but is by no means less enjoyable. Both packages are priced at RM1000 for two.

All this and two cocktails/mocktails for RM398 per couple.
