As dusk settles over Yas Island, Pappas Taverna glows by candlelight, setting the scene for Taste of Amore - a Valentine’s dinner set menu curated for unhurried indulgence. Designed as an intimate celebration of flavour and fire, the one-night-only dining experience opens with a refined amuse-bouche, A Kiss from the Coast, pairing oyster granita with cucumber pearl and citrus mignonette. From there, the evening flows into Heart of the Garden, a hand-stretched burrata served with heirloom tomatoes, strawberry balsamic, and basil oil. Warmth and depth follow with Flame & Passion, a char-grilled octopus layered with smoked paprika, chickpea purée, and confit cherry tomatoes.
At the heart of the experience, the menu invites couples to linger over mains made for meaningful moments. Choices include Pan-Seared Sea Bass with saffron fennel and a delicate Champagne Beurre Blanc, Herb-Crusted Lamb Rack with rosemary jus and truffle potato purée, or a decadent Wild Mushroom & Black Truffle Risotto, each dish reflecting the richness and romance of Mediterranean dining.
With its atmospheric setting, thoughtfully curated menu, and relaxed yet evocative atmosphere, Taste of Amore offers couples a Valentine’s Day celebration that feels everlasting, intimate, and effortlessly romantic.
