Still can’t think of where to take them out on V-Day? Here’s a list that you can choose from.

Special starters for your special someone

Start off your date with some fresh starters that can truly perk up the rest of the celebration.

Your lolo and lola, mom and dad, will surely enjoy the healthy yet delicious food choices at Cyma, a Greek restaurant that offers a hearty, satisfying Mediterranean feast, especially for diners who are health-conscious.

You can kick-off with a scrumptious Roka Salata, a salad that balances sweet and salty with its combination of arugula, sundried tomatoes, candied walnuts, and fresh parmesan. After that, you can try a generous helping of Gyro, a wrap of succulent meat, fresh lettuce, parsley, juicy tomatoes, onions, honey mustard, and tzatziki served with crispy fries on the side.

You and your best friend, on the other hand, can enjoy pasta at the California Pizza Kitchen. Apart from their huge menu of tasty pizzas, their signature homemade pasta are made with high-quality, fresh, and seasonal ingredients that will surely be a delight to your palate.

From a wide array of choices, your best friend will surely be thrilled at the mouthwatering sight of Shrimp Scampi, Chicken Picatta, Fettucini, Jambalaya Linguini Fini, and many more.

Cyma is located on the mall’s sixth level at the Main Wing while California Pizza Kitchen can be found on Level 2 in the East Wing.

Fall in love with the main course

After some scrumptious appetizers, you can head over to Duck & Buvette for a main course that is different from what diners are used to having.

The bistro-bakery makes you feel hearty with the rustic charm of the French countryside thick with fresh, handpicked ingredients. For an unforgettable romantic date, sample the Crispy Duck Confit for that delectable change. The dish is served with ratatouille duck rice, cranberry carrots, and whole grain mustard & red wine sauce on the side.

Moreover, treat yourselves with the Slow Braised Beef Burgundy. This show-stopping stew consists of beef ribs and pork belly in red wine burgundy sauce, slow-cooked in a Dutch oven for six hours.

If you’re dating the entire family this V-Day, you can never go wrong with Texas Roadhouse. Show your family some love through the various meals reminiscent of a family barbecue, starting with the Baby Back Ribs. Its succulent, tender, fall-off-the-bone meat uniquely added with blended seasoning melts in your mouth at every bite.

Meanwhile, the 10 oz. juicy American Ribeye Steak is perfect for family members who are perennial meat lovers. They can enjoy the freshly hand-cut steak with a side of Barefoot Cabernet Sauvignon for the full-on steak experience.

Duck & Buvette is located on the second level while Texas Roadhouse is on the sixth floor, both located at the mall’s Main Wing.

A sweet ending

It’s a fact that regardless of a full stomach, there will always be room for dessert. You and your date can head to Morelli’s Gelato where you can enjoy some Italian ice cream as you and your loved ones take a relaxing and light moment together.

The ice cream parlor offers a wide array of flavors, but the perfect ice cream to share this Valentine’s Day is the Red Velvet & Oreo Cheesecake. For couples who want to try something refreshingly new, you can try their Lavender Straciella and Black Sesame Gelato.

For those who prefer candy and pastries, Rocky Mountain has a plethora of desserts to choose from. From local favorites—Dried Mangoes dipped in Signature Dark Chocolate to the international sensation French Macaroons to a unique snack in Chocolate Caramel Potato Chips— Rocky Mountain proves to be the cherry on top if you’re in pursuit of a great Valentine’s Day experience.

Morelli’s Gelato and Rocky Mountain is located at Mid-Level 2/3, East Wing.

With this bouquet of delicious meals, Shangri-La Plaza proves to be a haven of diverse dining experiences tailored-fit for the season of love.
