Never too late for Romance….


The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, so they say. You can apply that to women too! Either sex appreciates a bit of romantic wining and dining to steer Cupid’s arrow  in the right direction. With Valentine’s Day fast approaching this week, our Approved Providers are going all out to make sure you  get in the mood for love. So if you haven’t already made plans for February 14th, allow them to inspire you. At Hayfield Manor in Cork, Chef Graeme Campbell has a sumptuous feast planned at the five star hotel’s signature Orchids restaurant.  The magnificent beauty of  unspoilt Connemara can’t fail to bring out the wild abandon in any man, woman or beast. The scenery alone is enough to set the heart racing. On Valentine’s night, locals and visitors can enjoy a five course feast in the Connemara Coast’s Gallery Restaurant, overlooking the sea. Urban lovers can cosy up in Moloughney’s of Clontarf, Dublin, amid bistro surroundings lit by candles. This restaurant becomes a love nest, with oysters, lobster and chocolate on the Smoochy Smooch menu. In the uber stylish interior of Brasserie Le Pont in city centre Dublin, fine Valentine’s food and wine pushes all the right buttons for a pair of loved up souls. (P.S. A game of footsie under the table adds an extra dimension to the dining experience in all these superb establishments…)
