The Valentine’s spirit this year is a lot less than in previous years for obvious reasons. That said if you are celebrating your love, food is always a good place to start.

I, personally, don’t like going out to eat on Valentine’s Day cause it’s crowded and there’s traffic. No, it’s not really because I’m scared I will see my man with his real babe but e fit happen.

Anyhow, I love that there are more affordable Valentine’s Day packages for dining at home this year without going to the private chef route. So, we’ve created this list of some of the best offers. If you choose to dine out this year, we’ve also added a few options for that to the list.

Me Before You is on Showmax. So get a subscription (free with DStv premium), add a bottle of wine and get cosy with your lover or just you with this Board charcuterie.

HSE Gourmet

HSE did win the Eat.Drink.Lagos Restaurant of the Year 2020 so they are definitely a fan favourite and very good at what they do - we agree. HSE’s Valentine’s package is available for both dine-in or delivery. For delivery, they also add a few extra treats like chocolates and wine, hence the price difference.

Price - From N32,500

Turaka Lagos

If you’re trying to dine in a restaurant this Valentine’s, outdoor dining is the safest, at least so we’re told. For romance, nothing beats under the stars and with a view. Turaka checks all three boxes. They even have a lovely boutique hotel in EbonyLife Place if you’d like to make a staycation out of the weekend.

Price - From N20,000
