The Ultimate Valentine’s Edit: Where To Dine, Drift & Delight

11 Feb 2026
  • What Valentine’s dining and romantic stay options are available in Abu Dhabi and Fujairah?

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.
