Quince

The chef may have changed, but Quince’s kitchen still retains its focus on sustainability, ethical eating and local produce. Sit amid the charming country-classic-themed space, Quince’s Chef Blair Mathieson will be cooking a special Valentine’s set menu that comes early (Feb 13) with dishes like slow-roasted duck salad with grapes, harissa and pomegranate and lamb rump with smoked eggplant and soft feta.

V-Day Deal: B3,600 (per couple) for 5-course set menu and you can add B2,700 for a bottle of Champagne.

Issaya Siamese Club

Star Chef Ian Kittichai has taken an old Thai villa, given it a fresh lick of paint and some touches of color. Come to think of it, that describes his menu, too: Thai comfort food with a modern presentation and just enough creative twists to keep us excited. Even if it’s a romantic night, you’ll have to pass on the ultra-tight dress because the desserts are the best part and you can’t pass on those. We’re pretty sure you can think of way to work off those calories.

V-Day Deal: B4,450 (per couple) for 5-course set menu.

Indus

Indus’s alfresco area can certainly help enliven any romance with its fountain, manicured lawns and four-poster daybeds that conjure up images of Mughal courts. The food, like the décor, is a pleasantly light take on northern Indian favorites like biryani and tandoori chicken, as well as some rarer regional highlights. The prominent bar at Indus also serves up a mean cocktail.

V-Day Deal: B2,400 for 5-couse set menu.

Maki Maki

Squeezed into the third floor of the very small community mall No. 88, Maki Maki has such a big buzz on yummy fusion rolls with artistic presentation since its opening. But that’s not about it, the place has a casual, loft-like atmosphere with a small mezzanine area (you should inquire when booking), where you can dine under a lovely pitched glass roof with a chandelier and some ferns for company.

V-Day Deal: B2,990 (per couple) for 3-course set menu with soft drinks.

3/F, No. 88, Thonglor Soi 5, 02-712-8181

 

Gaggan

A delight for the palate as well as the eyes, Gaggan is far from the usual Mughal-themed, red-everything Indian restaurant. Set in a distressed white house, it has lots of cozy little nooks and a blow-your-mind modern gastronomy menu like you’ve never seen before. Try and get a table upstairs, or in their cool, Greek island-style terrace. Hurry, though, as they’re almost fully booked.

V-Day Deal: B6,000 (per couple) for 10-course set menu. Do note that you'll get the 9pm sitting as the 7pm one is already booked-out.

661 Silom

Sat in Niu’s Concerto’s old space, 661 Silom is the new baby of the team behind Le Beaulieu. Upstairs is the steakhouse vibe while the 1/F is more bar vibe. Opt for the special V-Day menu with dishes including the pan fried foie gras with mango and almond and slow-cooked short rib with beetroot before you go on to the Champagne at the Dom Perignon lounge.

V-Day Deal: B3,800 (per couple) for 4-course set menu.

Baan Silom, Silom Rd., 02-266-8661

 

Le Du

Tucked in small Silom Soi 7, Le Du is powered by two young Thai chefs who whip up the creative cooking that mixes modern techniques with bold Asian flavors. If you’re looking for the fine-dining food but with the more casual vibe, this venue offers elegant but cozy and not too stuffy like many other fine-dining venues.

V-Day Deal: B5,900 (per couple) for 6-course set menu.

Sensi

Together with a few partners, Italian Chef Christian Martena, who previously worked at Opus (in Lower Silom), just opened new Italian fine-dining restaurant, Sensi, meant to be even more sleek and luxurious and, of course, romantic.

V-Day Deal: B5,000 (per couple) for 8-course set menu.

Narathiwat Ratchanakarin Soi 17, 02-117-1618

 

Le Beaulieu

Le Beaulieu is the kind of restaurant you would want to keep it for special occasion with the great intimate atmosphere and the food that Chef Herve Frerard remains resolutely French, whipping up chicken liver pate, soups and consommés and hearty rustic mains.

V-Day Deal: B9,600 (per couple) for 6-course set menu.
