Romance is in the air at Harringtons Cocktail Lounge, where a specially curated Valentine’s Day menu promises an unforgettable evening of indulgence.
Designed for those looking to celebrate love in style, this three-course dining experience, complete with a signature cocktail on arrival, offers a harmonious blend of flavors crafted to delight the senses.
A Welcome Sip of Romance
Upon arrival, guests will be greeted with the Forbidden Kiss, a sophisticated cocktail that blends the smokiness of grilled cherry with the smoothness of Absolute vodka, infused with thyme and complemented by a shortbread syrup. This enchanting drink sets the perfect tone for an intimate evening ahead.
Decadent Starters to Arouse the Appetite
Diners will have the option to begin their meal with either Oysters Three Ways or Crumbed Artichokes. The oysters are presented in a trio of flavors—mango salsa, sauce mignonette, and salsa verde—each enhancing the natural brininess of the shellfish. For those preferring a vegetarian alternative, the crispy Crumbed Artichokes are perfectly paired with a jalapeño aioli and a hint of paprika, offering a satisfying crunch with every bite.
A Main Course Fit for Romance
The main course selection showcases a trio of exquisite dishes, ensuring a perfect match for every palate. The Mushroom Piccata Pasta is a luxurious combination of forest mushrooms, capers, and pepper flakes in a creamy white wine sauce, finished with truffle oil and a dusting of parmesan. Meat lovers can savor the Braised Beef Short Rib, slow-cooked to perfection and served with creamy mash, sautéed seasonal greens, and a rich jus. Meanwhile, seafood enthusiasts can opt for the Seared Kingklip with Creamy Risotto, where the delicate flavors of tarragon, lemon, and red pepper flakes elevate the kingklip, complemented by a creamy parmesan risotto and charred baby leeks.
A Sweet Finale
No Valentine’s Day meal is complete without a decadent dessert, and Harringtons Cocktail Lounge delivers with Berries & White Chocolate. This exquisite finale features a medley of fresh berries, delicate shortbread, luscious white chocolate mousse, and caramelized white chocolate—an irresistible ending to a night of culinary romance.
